A small church with an open door greeted us on the small Island of Salk when we visited in 2010. The sign on the back wall proclaimed. JESUS CHRIST IS LORD.
This island has experienced many tragedies. Invaded by pirates, Decimated by the plague called the black death, even captured and imprisoned by the Germans in World War !!,
There is PEACE and Presence of God in that little place and the Tapestry which hangs there proclaims HE Christ was LORD and still is LORD.
The wise woman in Proverbs 31 is acclaimed for making her own tapestry to clothe herself.
ARE WE CLOTHED IN THE TAPESTRY God is making of our lives,?
With Confession, Repentance and His Forgiveness in our journey of life, The knots on the back of His Tapestry knots are hidden by His shed Blood at Calvary.
Allow HIM to keep on making something beautiful out of our life on this on-going journey.
I m a wife, mother and grandmother. I have always enjoyed writing even from an early age. My book Beyond the Ashes has been written as a labour of love. All the characters are real to me and their story needed to be told. As a Christian my desire is to write General Fiction stories about real people but Hope and a desire for 'better' will always be part of the journey. I have had several short stories published over the years and moderate success in writing competitions.
I realized as I was thinking today (30/01/15) that perhaps I should add here that I have had life experiences of many valley times but also many mountain top experiences. I can understand and be beside anyone who finds their life in tatters because I have 'been' there. Of course as I have got older as well there have been the added sorrows of losing not only older family members but also one by one finding the dearest of friends and the ones of greatest support and care also dying. On the site of rich mountains has been my certainty of the value of marriage and how grateful I am that after loss and sadness I made a happy and long-lasting marriage commitment. The one who was my best friend back then is still my best friend 45 years later. Beyond the Ashes touches upon the POWER of LOVE when folk can forget about their own personal 'feelings' and reach out in LOVE to a desperate and broken person.
We cannot always see the pattern God is weaving in the tapestry of our lives. Often, beset by the trials of this world, we can feel tattered and torn — even abandoned. Those feelings do not, however, reflect how God sees us. He knows the plans He has for us — in this life, and the next. If, like Job, we can reflect Him even in suffering that is to His great glory…a golden thread in our tapestry.
the golden threads woven into our tapestry of our life are are like the moments when HIS GRACE intricately weaves a pattern that suddenly reveals His Presence in and through it ALL, BLESS you dear Anna,
