Good morning, God!
It's another month, May.
I can't help but be reminded of this poem I have had on a plaque for 26 years.
I wonder what color threads He has planned today?
The Weaver
My life is but a weaving,
between my God and me,
I do not choose the colors,
He worketh steadily.
Ofttimes he weaveth sorrow,
and I in foolish pride
Forget He sees the upper,
and I the underside.
Not till the loom is silent,
and the shuttles cease to fly,
Will God unroll the canvas,
and explain the reasons why
The dark threads are as needful
in the skillful weaver's hand
As threads of gold and silver
in the pattern He has planned.
This is beautiful Jennifer! I'm so glad I saw that today. I'm going to copy it and save to a Word document to have on hand.
ReplyDeleteI think that would make a beautiful sampler some day.
What a great poem Jennifer, thanks for posting it.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great Sunday.
And a pat-pat for Abbie. :)
