For we walk by faith, not by sight. 2 Corinthians 5:7
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1
Life is like a puzzle I like to tell myself. When you are putting it together, it often looks like it will never amount to anything, especially so when it large or provides few clues on piecing it together.
Case in point: I had a photo turned into a puzzle, and because I was being cheap, I did not order the tin that would have displayed the picture on the outside. So when putting it together, I grew frustrated because I had nothing to reference and could not find the original picture snapped on a Hawaiian beach.
The backdrop was simply sand, sky, and sea–which made it very hard to decipher one piece from another. I quickly decided that the company must have gotten the puzzle all wrong, it truly did not APPEAR that it could form a legitimate image. I finally located the picture on my computer and worked from there. Slowly I made progress.
It wasn’t until I was virtually finished with it a few days later that I knew a picture existed. I was so excited to have the puzzle done except for one piece that I could not find. Strangely, I did not panic. I was sure it would turn up somewhere. And it did in the strangest of places. The missing piece was on the bathroom floor!
I recalled this experience today and decided to keep a puzzle piece in my purse as a reminder. The piece serves to remind me that everything happens as it should, and once every piece is all in place, the picture will be complete. And make sense.
Moral of my story: Have faith!
