Havi: who is gandhi?

 

[Whispering Winds]

Mother Theresa said, "I know God doesn't give us more than we can handle, but I wish some days he didn't trust me so much." Probably not exact, but so true, and I have felt that way many times. . .but if God brings you to it, he will bring you through it. There is a poem called "Tune of the Master Weaver", and there is a line that says something about the rhyme and reason of the weave or something like that. I need to google it and see if I can find it . . .beautiful sentiment, and helped through a very difficult time when my mom died. I also like, the old song Turn, Turn, Turn about there is a season to be born, to die . . .wonderful sentiment there too, and I am sure it came from some other writings. . .I think if we would all just set quietly and think about this wonderful ole' world, and what it took to be created, we would find an inner peace and it would take us through whatever we are dealing with. Everything we suffer, Jesus suffered before us . . .and he understands. If anyone is familiar with "The Secret", it has wonderful beliefs, and is not anti-religious in any way. . . actually mentions scriptures and books of the Bible. I keep a copy of the creed in my bedroom and look at it every day.

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.
