What's Happening...

Poetic Contemplatives

   Sometimes a light surprises
       The Christian while he sings;
It is the Lord who rises
       With healing in his wings:
When comforts are declining,
       He grants the soul again
A season of clear shining,
       To cheer it after rain.

The Weaver

1/3/2016

Just before 'the crash' we found a small, travel size table loom at a late season moving sale and Mom had begun to lay out her first scarf with several homespun yarns. (pictures below) This particular type of weaving has been a therapeutic project during our limited down time.
As it 'just so happens' (although we all agree nothing is 'happenstance' with the Lord) our current reading of encouragement  is Tramp for the Lord by Corrie Ten Boom. It is a beautiful walk through Corrie's life following her release from the concentration camps of WWII. In it she shares how forgiveness enabled her to grow closer to the Lord and gave her an abounding joy; but it was not easy, and all had to be given to Him, as she could not, in herself, work through the hurt and anger as the Lord can do for us. In the beginning of the book is a wonderful poem called "The Weaver"* that touched us so deeply and speaks so analogically to our lives, we had to share.
            We hope you will be as stirred by this poem that serves as a poignant reminder of who is truly in charge.
