The Tapestry of Our Life
                        God sees all of time from beginning to end-
                        He sees what we cannot.
                        He fashioned us in our mother’s womb-
                        We were skillfully wrought.
                        Psalm 139 is powerful-
                        It describes life in the womb.
                        Skillfully wrought means “embroidered”
                        But “How” and “By whom”?
                        We are part of God’s tapestry 
                        He weaves all things together for good
                        For those who are the “called
                        ” According to His purpose.”
                        It’s His design for brotherhood.
                        You have a place in that design
                        Far greater than you can know.
                        As a single thread in the tapestry,
                        Your influence will continue to grow.
                         The full scope of the legacy you leave
                                 Is beyond your ability to see.
                         You must believe, on the basis of scripture,
                         Your thread extends throughout eternity.

    Ha! Alta, please acceopt my most sincere apology. Two versions appeared on my screen. The first one was so distorted the message seermed to get lost. Psalm 139 is so informative.I wanted to encourage others to read it.

      I saw that version. it WAS a mess. For some reasin WP refuses to separate the verses. I love Ps 139 and how you related it to our lives being entwined together.
