But when you view it from the top side, it all comes together beautifully. The analogy is simple to make. From the underside of heaven there are many seemingly out of place events and other threads in our life, but from heaven's perspective, God is simply weaving a beautiful tapestry. Thank you for the reminder, Judy!

Rather than think about "promise," which is accurate, I tend to always remember "tapestry." It's a great reminder that it's sometimes difficult to see God's involvement in our circumstances since we don't see the bigger picture. Of course, sometimes we can look back and clearly connect the dots to know that there really is a bigger and better plan in action. Thanks for the reminder. Hi Reed,
