I've always enjoyed doing puzzles. As a child I would frequently pick the hardest puzzle I could find and set a goal in which to finish it. I would sort through the box finding pieces that fit together and put them in little groups all around the main puzzle waiting for the right moment to put them in their place.
Lately, my life is feeling like a puzzle. The border is in place and most of the inside is filled in but I have these "sections" that are off to the side waiting to be put in their proper place so that I can see the big picture. Just when I think the pieces might fit...I try them and find I have been deceived. The shapes look so similar but are slightly off and just do not slide into place smoothly. There must be a better option. I'm going to have to work a little harder. Dig through the box more. Or perhaps the "right" piece is directly in front of me...I just can't see it mixed in with the others. Life is puzzling...I'll trust in the One who knows exactly how the pieces will fit. It will make a beautiful picture in the end.
