Quilt of Holes

This week I received this little story called Quilt of Holes in an email forward from my Mom. I liked it and wanted to share it today.

Do you ever feel that your life is just a mess? Do you ever wonder how anything beautiful can develop of your life? Or how God can love you when you've messed up so much, so often? Do you compare your own lives to others and what they are doing and think you'll never be good enough or measure up to them? As I think of these questions, I am reminded that we must listen to the voice of Truth.

The point of this little story should be our goal each day....that our lives should be a shining light of Christ to all around us. His love shines through us when we give our troubles and problems to Him. He wants to carry our load. When we try to solve our problems on our own, we're usually not fun to be around. We get grumpy, whiny, and irritable. We worry and feel stressed all the time. When we let Him help us though, His light shines through and others notice something different about us.

I hope you are blessed by this little story.

"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven." Matthew 5:14-16
