Like a Jigsaw Puzzle

Our lives are made up of countless pieces

Its chapters and adventures are

colorful, exciting, unpredictable...

It’s nice to find the right fit.

It’s great to know the answers to our problems!

However, that is not always the case.

Many parts do not match so easily. 

It could take a lot of time and effort to find the missing pieces.

The trials and difficulties are sometimes frustrating!  

As much as we want to get rid of other parts,

they are essential.  We need the lessons to make us tougher..

and better.

We need to deal with our situations with patience, perseverance, courage,

and with high hopes to see the ‘big picture’  in due time.

After all, the Lord has made everything beautiful in its time. 

Each New Day

We may have failed  the previous day.. and so be it.

There'll be another day, anyway..

    Another opportunity to..  

                      

Finish each day and be done with it.

You have done what you could;

some blunders and absurdities have crept in;

forget them as soon as you can.

Tomorrow is a new day;

you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit

to be encumbered with your old nonsense. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see. The longer I live, the more my mind dwells upon the beauty and the wonder of the world. ~John Burroughs

Very well-said. By the way, here's my wish for you today ~ the three hidden words in the puzzle.  (or you may want to see them here.)
