Pieces

As a puzzle lover, I enjoy a quiet day, stretched over a big open table, piecing together a thousand plus fragments of what will eventually become a beautiful picture, sometimes even suitable for framing! Each tiny chunk of cardboard fitting securely and with great purpose into the piece adjacent. Painstakingly, for hours, I will twist and turn and try several pieces in one spot until it happily connects with its neighboring cohorts. It can occasionally turn frustrating when there are many pieces that seemingly could fit where the right one finally drops, but with determination and anticipation of a finished masterpiece, I continue to work until the efforts produce said brilliance!

Now . . . think about your life. Some of you believe you're in some grind, some trivial abyss of nothingness that does nothing for anyone but provide you a paycheck to hopefully pay your bills until next week's trivial abyss begins again. What you don't understand, or cannot or do not yet comprehend, is that you fit! Somewhere, you fit! It may take years of twisting and turning and trying to put yourself in different situations before you find where you might actually belong. You exist for a purpose and a reason and it truly is to finish your portion of a beautiful masterpiece being fitted together by a source much bigger than you can imagine! Without you, there is a gaping hole in the tapestry of life. You have a talent, a drive, a passion that makes a difference - to others - and to that tapestry that is woven and pieced together by the intertwining of many!

Keep twisting. Keep turning. Keep trying to see where you fit! You are beautiful! You matter! You complete someone's puzzle! Enjoy the day!
