"Life Is Like a Tapestry".

As I wrote about yesterday:

Through out the years we fine ourselves, for one reason or another, looking back on various moments in our lives.  And we perceive insights that helps us understand something we had not thought about before.

So I wanted to share with you some wisdom, insight, from Jacob The Baker:

“There was a great teacher” said Jacob “Who told us that life was like a tapestry.”  …  "I wondered about this a long time,” said Jacob.  “And then, watching you over the last days, I discovered that one works on a tapestry from the back.  That you work on it without seeing the larger pattern.  That all you see are the colored stitches running at odds and at angles to each other.  That, indeed, is like life: One day is woven into the next.  But we cannot see the implication of every stitch in time.  And so we work blind.  Courage is the required pattern in life.  Courage and faith.”….

“…that’s why God has created a time-out, said Jacob.  The Sabbath.  The Sabbath is a spiritually sanctified time out.  The Sabbath is the concept by which time sets its watch.  That Sabbath affords us a perspective, even on time.  It is an opportunity to see that our work in life is also a work of art.  One day in seven we are to step back and turn our tapestry over.”

"What will we see then?” asked the woman.

We will see,” said Jacob, “that life has two sides, that there are grand patterns in small stitches…”  (p. 120-121 Jacob’s Ladder)

Lets remember to take our Sabbath’s in order to look more clearly at our lives; instead of the stitches running at odds with each other.
