God's Embroidery





I received this via email this morning.
I believe there is an important message here.
So thought I would add it~~~

I do NOT know the Author,
But I would like to~~~


 GOD'S EMBROIDERY

 When I was a little boy, my mother used to embroider a great deal. I would
 sit at her knee and look up from the floor and ask what she was doing. She
 informed me that she was embroidering. I told her that it looked like a
 mess from where I was, the underside. I watched her work within the
 boundaries of the little round hoop that she held in her hand.

 She would smile at me, look down and gently say, "My son, you go about
 your playing for a while, and when I am finished with my embroidering, I
 will put you on my knee and let you see it from my side."

 I would wonder why she was using some dark threads along with the bright
 ones and why they seemed so jumbled from my view.
 A few minutes would pass and then I would hear Mother's voice say, "Son,
 come and sit on my knee."
 This I did, only to be surprised and thrilled to see a beautiful flower or
 a sunset.  I could not believe it, because from underneath it looked so
 messy.

 Then Mother would say to me, "My son, from underneath it did look messy
 and jumbled, but you did not realize that there was a pre-drawn plan on
 the top.  It was a design I was only following it. Now look at it from my
 side and you will see what I was doing."

 Many times through the years I have looked up to my Heavenly Father and
 said, "Father, what are You doing?"

 He has answered, "I am embroidering your life."

 I say, "But it looks like a mess to me. It seems so jumbled. The threads
 seem so dark. Why can't they all be bright?"

 The Father seems to tell me, "My child, you go about your business of
 doing My business, and one day I will bring you to Heaven and put you on
 My knee and you will see the plan from My side."
