Truly Wonderful!

My wife loves to crochet and she is good at it. How do I know? Because she is able to keep her fingers going from stitch to stitch while watching television or listening to a concert or listening to conversation. For me it would take every bit of concentration I had to make those "knots" turn into something beautiful. Knots I know how to tie to stay tied. The knots created by my wife's crochet needles are a work of art. She also has the patience for the work because when she sees a spot not laying right because she dropped a stitch or counted wrong -- a spot that might never be noticed by anyone else -- she begins pulling and unraveling the yarn all the way back to where she noticed the flaw. My wife is also always looking at new colors of yarn and new patterns. She has made very few baby blankets, afghans, hats, scarves, or slippers that are the same. Each one has been UNIQUE for whomever she was making it; just the right colors together and the right shapes and patterns she sees matching the person she hopes will enjoy it. Though taking much time and thought, it is all a labor of love.

In viewing God, David wrote. . .
"(13) For YOU FORMED my inward parts; YOU KNITTED ME TOGETHER in my mother's womb. (14) I praise you, for I AM FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. (15) My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, INTRICATELY WOVEN in the depths of the earth." ( Psalm 139:13-15 ESV)

Each one of us is UNIQUE. Even our identical grand-twins have some differences in appearance and with regard to the things they seem suited for doing. Every one of us is a work of God designed with a purpose in mind. We are no accident and life should not be lived as such. Acknowledging the abilities and gifts God has given us, we are to use them in a manner which glorifies He Who made us that way. He put thought into our being as HIS LABOR OF LOVE with Divine purposes and an eternity in mind. As my wife smiles at the manner in which her handiwork is received, may we live to make God smile.

Have a great day SERVING GOD'S PURPOSE WITH THE ABILITIES HE HAS GIVEN!
