Force

Sometimes, our life can feel like an unfinished puzzle still in its box–a jumble of pieces, disconnected from the big picture.
And, oh, do we want to see what’s created when all the pieces fit together perfectly. Because if we could just see how the pieces connect, we’ll get the big picture. We’ll have our answers.
Our life’s puzzle asks that we wait for our answers. But, we can’t wait. So, we force. We grit our teeth and push. We twist and turn the pieces, forcing a fit, forcing a solution.
But our force just make a mess, as the pieces revolt, refusing to respond to our push and pull.
We can’t force our completed puzzle, that big picture to emerge which shows our destiny. We can, however, take care of our pieces, giving them room in the box to become what they’re meant to be.
Most important, we can believe in the Force in our life that’s bigger than us, that knows exactly what to do with our puzzle pieces. We can trust our life’s Force to know exactly the time to show us how the pieces fit.
We can wait because the wait will be worth it. When we see our completed puzzle, we’ll be awed.

Good Morning, Denise! I love FORCE! How poetic! Do you have your comments in a book like your others? I am really enjoying the COMFORT #1 book I got! I reread one page in Winter everyday several times. I like this concept of “wait for the pieces to fit.” How often I am inpatient to get them to fit together and not wait. I must follow Fate and let go!

Hi–I’m so glad you enjoy these comforts.
This one will be in the third book (perhaps called “Take More Comfort”), which will be out in the fall.
I struggle with holding on too tight, too. I’ve learned I feel much better if I decide to simply enjoy the ride.

Hi Denise, You know? Maybe it is hard to not hold on too tight because that may mean “Good-Bye” and that is almost impossible for me to imagine with my Mom – and it was a great surprise with my Dad (I never had the opportunity) – so holding on seems less scary that letting go. The “enjoying the ride” of course is a much more healthy and sane idea! *grin!*
