Like a Puzzle

Life is like a jigsaw puzzle: thousands of little uniquely shaped Pieces needing to be connected to form the whole picture. Piece by piece we p a i n s t a k i n g l y try to fit them together. Some pieces don"t seem to belong, but they are all part of the puzzle. Some pieces seem to be miss ing, but they are there, waiting to be found. Perseverance, Patience, Prayer, are needed to assemble the puzzle of our life. Only when we look to our CREATOR will we ever be complete. The One who made us knows us best. In the end He will place the final piece of our puzzle. 9/20/16 Brian Strand's July 18 free verse

So you have looked, all the family has looked for the missing piece that puts the picture together. Each person's reaction to that missing piece is different. I know some who say just throw that puzzles away, some who say wait maybe it will show up when we clean. Some who try to fix the area where the piece is missing, place the puzzle on a board and frame it to show off what they have done. However, God does hold the key to the missing piece of life, we only need to say yes to our Savior. Sara
