Pieces



Anyone who has children has probably experienced, "the big box of puzzle pieces"...

With time and living...
3 to 4 complete pictures wears down into...
A big box of of incomplete...mismatched...puzzle pieces...

Figuratively... I am there.

I'm not sure about putting all the pieces together again...

I usually throw out the literal box of pieces when we get to that point.

    This is a bad analogy. You need a paradigm shift! God is in control. Our lives are His big picture and He never loses ANY of His pieces! I know because He has picked me up again and again whenever I have fallen off the table, and put me back into the picture. All we have to do is to admit that "He" is the one putting the picture together, and we are simply the pieces that are moved by Him. Feelings are fleeting, unreliable things. Look back and see how God has been taking care of you and those that you love. One of your many gifts is "common sense"; (just like Helen!)As a common-sense person; look at the facts.....pull up your boot-straps, and reach out for your Heavenly Father's arms! I love you so much!!! He loves you more!

They have seen so much throughout their lifetime... They have "been there and done that"... In my experience...people commonly have less "filtering" the older we get, becoming much more direct... open... straight to the point... I love this type of raw human nature...it is simply refreshing! The woman who interviews the "Centenarians" does a program for "National Public Radio (NPR)" and initially doesn't have much experience with the elderly. It is fun to watch her geriatric insight sprout and bloom paralleled with the "Centenarian" stories of the past and the present. My interest is further peaked by a reference book the author mentions, "A General Theory of Love". I plan to add it to my library list...it focuses on "the biological basis for human emotions...love". ...
