Poem: The “Patchwork Quilt” of our lives… (Esther 4:14 )

Beautiful handmade,
Patchwork Quilts…
Made over time,
and precisely built.

Made with pieces of cloth,
various patterns or lines.
remind me of people’s lives,
representing periods of time.

Some pieces are pretty black,
with various sizes or shapes.
Remind me of times in my life,
when I just wanted to escape.

Other pieces are dark blue
like a dark, rainy sky.
Remind me of times in my life,
when I would just cry and cry.

Other pieces are very red,
like a big sign of danger.
Reminds me of times in my life,
when my ex was like a stranger.

Then some are beautiful white,
very shiny and bright.
Remind me of when I was saved,
and finally saw the Light.

So many times in our lives,
represented by a different hue.
But all these times of our lives,
make up a beautiful you.

For each moment in our lives,
adds up like a house built.
Step by step we are made,
like a homemade patchwork quilt.

Though individual pieces of cloth,
may not be beautiful one by one.
It’s beautiful when put together,
and it’s purpose in life has just begun.

“… Who knows if perhaps you were made queen for just such a time as this?”

So think about it… maybe we are being put together and being equipped for such a time as this…
