by I meandered life constructing stitches on the go;
Not a knowing wither I’ve been, forging where to sew.
Swiftly going forward, into fragile fabric of time.
Stitches go this way and many stitches go that way;
Curvy, bent, and up and down the stitches go and sway.
Slow and quickly they do chime, and over the fabric of time.
Not to be undone, all stitches here and stitches there;
Ponder hard, think twice, and stitch all stitches with a prayer.
Never regress, stitching forward through the fabric of time.
Colors into stitches, comments kind, and adding smiles;
Helping life-long friends and stitches stretching by the miles.
Stitches long and added, to the crafted fabric of time.
Stitches jagged, rough and dark; the trials do abound.
Up and down is life and stitching goes around and ‘round.
Brilliant stitching, fast-accomplished through the fabric of time.
Family happy, children content, stitching oh the joy!
Nourished, sleeping, tidy dwelling; stitching thrills enjoy.
Spouse approves the ‘ventures, through the growing fabric of time.
Prayers and comfort abound and help a friend assure.
For the Lord, a friend is won; these stitches will endure.
Stunning stitches added, to the larger fabric of time.
Laying, resting…death has me beneath the maple tree.
Through the pearly gate, the Lord has turned and I can see.
My tapestry spun with stitches, in the fabric of time.
Speaks his voice so gently, tells about the grand detail;
‘Mazing beauty in all trials, spun by life, full-scale.
For all eternity hangs,
My tapestry spun with stitches, in the fabric of time.
Very good! Some people will be very surprised at how shabby their eternity will be because they did not think this life made any difference.
Some people might be surprised the other way also. All the little things we do for Christ, that we think do not matter, they do. Some day Christ will reward us for all our efforts. For efforts big and small there will be rewards. For each prayer, each class taught, a friend helped, each service attended, etc. etc. No small thing goes unnoticed by the Lord. People here don’t notice things or people unless something is big and famous or well known. But God, notices the little unsung heroes of the faith.
I love this. Thank you so much for sharing.
What a lovely and beautiful lady you have grown up to be.
Have a GREAT day.
Love you,
