Now toward the end of my life I find that I frequently look back at its tapestry, at all the choices and changes that are woven into its substance. Some of the threads now seem almost impossibly far away; some I remember like yesterday.
And, some threads are discolored not with age but by a choice made that I would not make now. Those fibers of my life’s tapestry are the ones I would pull out if I could. And yet, if I tug on them with that intent, the whole tapestry of my life starts to come apart. Those decisions are integral, too.
And we know that God causes all things to work TOGETHER for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.
