JIGSAW PUZZLE LIFE!

We've all heard various metaphors of life being like a jigsaw puzzle----and for some it's as if many of the pieces are missing. Aging has brought about some fading parts of memory and put in new pieces of misunderstanding. But God, our Master "builder", has a place and purpose for each piece of our life!

Missing pieces maybe why I don't even attempt jigsaw puzzles! Unlike daughter M and friend JPH, who look at 1000 pieces and see challenge. i can't look beyond the straight-edged pieces!

(Alert.....in the end she needed 1 more piece. Eventually her dad found it deep in the carpet! Sounds a bit like life---sometimes what is lost desperately needs to be found!) 

I, on the other hand, look at 48 extra large pieces and seek help from my youngest grandson JLK.

I am grateful that in God's design there are no missing pieces!

Everyone who has Jesus in his/her life is complete!

NATIONAL NAP DAY!

Today is National Nap Day and I'm too tired to take a nap!

How can that be!? 

For years I was the consummate napper!

These last couple of years weary prevails and sleep eludes?

Even with the Psalm 127:2 reminder, "Lord gives to His beloved, even in her sleep," I'll have to settle for being still with my eyes open.

Hopefully, His peace will come.

Thanks to a reader who shared other nappers. One has celebrated it in many states! First as a baby on a beach towel in Florida 

sand......

.....and today as a worn out West Elementary first grader creekside in his hammock at "his" Deep Creek beach.

Sweet naps on the National holiday!
