I can't take credit for this one, I found it snooping around online. Enjoy!
I love the story of the tapestry.
There was a little boy sitting at his mother's feet as she was sewing a tapestry. After a long while of him gazing up,
he had this strange look on his face. His mother asked him, "Darling, What is the matter?"
His reply was, "Mommy, that is the ugliest thing I have ever seen!"
His mother turned her tapestry over, and he was right! It was ugly. There were knots, and strings and threads and they
were all crossed in various ways and it WAS ugly!
His mother replied, "Oh sweetie, you are right, but you are looking at it all wrong!
You see, if you look at it from up here, it is beautiful!"
With that she turned the tapestry over for him to see. It WAS beautiful. It was perfectly stitched.
"The little boy replied with joy, "OH Mommy! It is PERFECT!" I couldn't see what you saw!
That is exactly how this life is for us. We see things from underneath; from our human perspective. The entire time, GOD
is weaving the tapestry of our lives from up above, and He sees our lives from HIS perspective. He sees the right side
of that tapestry.
He is weaving something beautiful with the fabric of our lives. :)
