Last December, to my delight, my husband bought me a 3000-piece jigsaw puzzle. Growing up I loved completing puzzles but have never completed one with over 500 pieces. I started it one hundred percent positive that I could finish it within a week and seven months later, it is still in the corner of our living room floor (very neatly organised), awaiting its completion.
Now that I am on vacation, I have decided to take a few minutes each day to work on it. As I am putting pieces together, I started thinking about how our life so often can reflect a jigsaw puzzle. There can be many things happening in our lives (different pieces that fit into the bigger picture), and as we go through them, we realise how they fall in place and contribute not just to our own story or picture, but to the stories of those around us too.
God sees…
