BLESSING THE ELEMENTS: You Might Be a

Tapestry

We weave our cloth of life with threads
Of hours and days we're given
And make a pattern that reflects
The Face of God in heaven
He gives us days of greatest joy
That cast a lovely hue
But days of sorrow we must bear
For darker colors too
Some days have trials woven in
That give our cloth its strength
So other days that are misused
Won't cause a tear or rent
Friends add texture to our cloth
And shining highlights leave
New ones silver, old ones gold
Affect the warp and weave
Faith is the shuttle we employ
To weave a better cloth
And love we use to weave it too;
Love makes it smooth and soft
Some days we weave silken threads
And some days coarse and rough
One day's threads are stout and strong
Another's soft as fluff
But when our cloth of life is woven
And taken from the frame
It is unique, one of a kind
None other is the same
For though the same days we are given
We use them differently
And make a pattern all our own
In God's Great Tapestry

I loved the one on the toilet paper tubes... LOL... so funny... but maybe if you paint them they will make need decorations...
As for the lights... well maybe that is to save electricity and energy... and so when I read the first part I was like... I do that but then when my eyes read the part that only the ONLY thing lit was the lamp... I burst out laughing because that is not what I do... I turn off bathroom or bedroom lights if I am in the kitchen or living room...
I loved the list... so funny... thanks for directing me to them.

Be Thankful

Be thankful that you don’t already have everything you desire,

If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful when you don’t know something

For it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times.

During those times you grow.

Be thankful for your limitations

Because they give you opportunities for improvement.

Be thankful for each new challenge

Because it will build your strength and character.

Be thankful for your mistakes

They will teach you valuable lessons.

Be thankful when you’re tired and weary

Because it means you’ve made a difference.

It is easy to be thankful for the good things.

A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are

also thankful for the setbacks.

GRATITUDE

can turn a negative into a positive.

Find a way to be thankful for your troubles

and they can become your blessings.
