Favorite Quotes Anyone?? INSPIRATIONAL..

[Whispering Winds]

Quote:
Here you go...

My Life is but a weaving
between my Lord and me;
I cannot choose the colors
He worketh steadily.

Oft times He weaveth sorrow
And I, in foolish pride,
Forget He sees the upper,
And I the under side.

Not til the loom is silent
And the shuttles cease to fly,
Shall God unroll the canvas
And explain the reason why.

The dark threads are as needful
In the Weaver's skillful hand,
As the threads of gold and silver
In the pattern He has planned.

He knows, He loves, He cares,
Nothing this truth can dim.
He gives His very best to those
Who leave the choice with Him.

Thank you!!! I loved it when I read it years ago, and never forgot some of it. . .going to print it off, make a pretty fancy script copy on good paper and frame it. Helped me through some pretty dark days. A very dear friend of mine lost her son to aids, and they were a minister family, so very hard for some people to understand how "this" could happen to them, and I wrote her a letter using the woven threads theory. She remarked to me what a beautiful letter it was, and what a good comparison to the grief they endured over it.

Don't try to UNDERSTAND algebra. Just DO it.


sometimes we need to quit asking, "WHY, HOW, WHAT, WHEN etc" and just step out and DO.

Its like, well im not sure on how to explain it. I cant understand it at all. Its like a language that Jesus would have spoken. Maybe im not sure of the exact answer but know what i sounds like lol.

Jesus spoke Aramaic.

speaking in tongues is speaking in anyway other than your normal spoken language, and is nothing that you can just make up or decide to do. it's only when the Holy Spirit gives utterance.
many times it comes especially when one can not pray for themselves.

some people can interpret. it depends on the spiritual gifts that someone is given.

My understanding is this;
everyone is eligable for the gift of tongues. Tongues is the sign of being baptized in the Holy Ghost, when it gives utterance.

The gift of tongues & interpretation is a specific gift given to some, and not others. Like the gift of prophecy, healing, etc.

"Turn, Turn, Turn, came from the bible, from the wisdom of "The Preacher/Teacher, son of David":

To everything there is a season,
a time for every purpose under the sun.
A time to be born and a time to die;
a time to plant and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
a time to kill and a time to heal ...
a time to weep and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn and a time to dance ...
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing;
a time to lose and a time to seek;
a time to rend and a time to sew;
a time to keep silent and a time to speak;
a time to love and a time to hate;
a time for war and a time for peace.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Thank you, I knew this was in the Bible, did not realize that it was so beautifully written out. . .I need to get back in and read my bible a little more, huh? I think we need to read this every day, and the Secret has a wonderful writing about what you should every single day you are on this earth. It's very beautiful, and so true. Has anyone seen the email about Rapture? It is awesome. Scary but very intense and enlightening.
