Over the holidays we completed a jigsaw puzzle, as we often do. The difference this year was that George and I completed it with practically no assistance from anyone else.
We were rather proud of ourselves!
Jigsaw puzzles can teach us a lot about life.
Perseverance - if you keep at it, you will eventually finish it.
Working together is always better. Sometime I'd find the missing piece and sometimes George would.
And 'together' is much more fun!
Looking at things from different angles helps.
Appearances can be deceptive. We 'thought' this would be an easy puzzle. Do you know how many white birds there are in a 12 Days of Christmas puzzle? How much greenery? How many candy canes?
At about this point in every puzzle we have ever done, we are absolutely convinced that there is a missing piece. We are confident that the piece that we have both spent so much time searching for just isn't there. And we think of blaming the manufacturer, picturing our missing piece on the factory floor.
And you know what? Every single time (except for a puzzle we did in 2020...but what would you expect to have happened that year?), we find it.
Life lesson - When you are sure there is a vital missing piece from your life. When you don't know how all the pieces of your life will fit together, be patient. One who knows much more than you do, does know. Trust in His plan, His love, and His wisdom for your life. It will all fit together perfectly, eventually.
