"My life has been a weaving
between my God and me.
I do not choose the colors,
he worketh steadily.
Often times he weaveth sorrow
and I in foolish pride
forget he sees the upper,
and I the underside.
Not til the loom is silent
and the loom cease to fly
will God unroll the canvas
and explain the reasons why.
The dark threads are as needful
in the skillful weavers hands
as the threads of gold and silver
in the pattern he has planned."
-Unknown author quoted by Elder Maxwell
I probably just like this quote because I'm a sewing nerd... Haha but I love the visual this story gives. It just makes me realize that there will be hard times but they are an important part to make us who we are and to have a successful life in the end. It always reminds me to keep faith because he knows what he is doing. :)
These are photos of a beautiful cross stitch give to my mother by a close friend. I couldn't get a picture of the underside but I am sure it is not nearly as beautiful!

Beautiful testimony. Amazing what Heavenly Father helps us do with our hands....everyone something different....sewing, working, helping, hugging, holding, rocking, teaching, healing etc. Love you
