#1222: Embroidary Medaphor

When your son starts questioning why God sometimes doesn’t make sense, turn to Isaiah 55 and explain that God’s thoughts are “higher” than ours.

Then, if you can, pull a cross stitch or embroidery off the wall. Turn that tapestry over so your son sees the tangled zig-zag of knots and loose threads on the back. Explain how that’s “our view,” and that life does get messy. Then turn it over and reveal “God’s view.”

That heavenly perspective – one we cannot possibly have yet – reveals perfect order. God’s plan is in place.

Then point out how the beauty of creation God provides in our temporary home proves that we can trust Him for an even more beautiful place in eternity.
