Before each of us laid our lives like the squares of a quilt in many piles.</div> <div> An Angel sat before each of us sewing our quilt squares together into a tapestry that was our life. But as my angel took each piece of cloth off the pile, I noticed how ragged and empty each of my squares was.</div> <bR> <div> They were filled with giant holes. Each square was labeled with a part of my life that had been difficult, the challenges and temptations I was faced with in everyday life. I saw hardships that I endured, which were the largest holes of all. I glanced around me.</div> <div> Nobody else had such squares. Other than a tiny hole here and there, the other tapestries were filled with rich color and the bright hues of worldly fortune.</div> <bR> <div> I gazed upon my own life and was disheartened. My angel was sewing the ragged pieces of cloth together, threadbare and empty, like binding air. Finally the time came when each life was to be displayed, held up to the light, the scrutiny of truth.</div> <div> The others rose, each in turn, holding up their tapestries. So filled their lives had been. </div> <bR> <div> My angel looked upon me and nodded for me to rise.</div> <div> My gaze dropped to the ground in shame. I hadn't had all the earthly fortunes. I had love in my life and laughter. But there had also been trials of illness and death and false accusations that took from me my world as I knew it. I had to start over many times, I often struggled with the temptation to quit, only to somehow muster the strength to pick up and begin again. I spent many nights on my knees in prayer, asking for help and guidance. </div> <bR> <div> In my life, I had often been held up to ridicule, which I endured painfully, each time offering it up to the Father in hopes that I would not melt within my skin beneath the judgmental gaze of those who unfairly judged me.</div> <div> And now, I had to face the truth. My life was what it was and I had to accept it. I rose and slowly lifted the combined squares of my life to the light. An awe-filled gasp filled the air. I gazed around at the others who stared at me with wide eyes. Then, I looked upon the tapestry before me.</div> <bR> <div> Light flooded through the many holes, creating an image, the face of Christ. Then our Lord stood before me, with warmth and love in His eyes.</div> <div> He said, "Every time you gave over your life to Me, it became My life, My hardships and My struggles. Each point of light in your life is when you stepped aside and let Me shine through, until there was more of Me than there was of you.</div> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> ~ Author Unknown ~</div> <bR> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <bR> <div> ======================================================================================================<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FFFF33" FACE="Comic Sans MS" >=</FONT></div> <bR> <div> The Bargain</div> <div> ===========</div> <bR> <div> During one of the many battles of the era, a young soldier</div> <div> found himself and his army being soundly defeated by the enemy.</div> <div> He and his comrades hastily retreated from the battlefield in</div> <div> defeat, running away in fear of their very lives.</div> <bR> <div> The enemy gave chase.  The young man ran hard and fast, full</div> <div> of fear and desperation, and soon found himself cut off from</div> <div> his comrades.  The soldier eventually came upon a rocky ledge</div> <div> containing a cave.</div> <bR> <div> Knowing the enemy was close behind, and that he was exhausted</div> <div> from the chase, he chose to hide there.  After he crawled in,</div> <div> he fell to his face in the darkness, desperately crying to</div> <div> God to save him and protect him from his enemies.  He made a</div> <div> bargain with God.  He promised that if God saved him, he would</div> <div> serve Him for the remainder of his days.</div> <bR> <div> When he looked up from his despairing plea for help, he saw a</div> <div> spider beginning to weave its web at the entrance to the cave.</div> <div> As he watched the delicate threads being slowly drawn across</div> <div> the mouth of the cave, the young soldier pondered its irony.</div> <div> He thought,</div> <bR> <div> "I asked God for protection and deliverance, and He sent me</div> <div> a spider instead.  How can a spider save me?"</div> <bR> <div> His heart was hardened, knowing the enemy would soon discover</div> <div> his hiding place and kill him.  Soon he did hear the sound</div> <div> of his enemies, who were now scouring the area looking for</div> <div> those in hiding.</div> <bR> <div> One soldier with a gun slowly walked up to the cave's entrance.</div> <div> As the young man crouched in the darkness, hoping to surprise</div> <div> the enemy in a last-minute desperate attempt to save his own</div> <div> life, he felt his heart pounding wildly out of control. </div> <bR> <div> As the enemy cautiously moved forward to enter the cave, he came </div> <div> upon the spider's web, which by now was completely strung across</div> <div> the opening.  He backed away and called out to a comrade,</div> <bR> <div> "There can't be anyone in here.  They would have had to break</div> <div> this spider's web to enter the cave.  Let's move on."</div> <bR> <div> Years later, this young man, who made good his promise by</div> <div> becoming a preacher and  evangelist, wrote about that ordeal.</div> <bR> <div> What he observed has stood by me in times of trouble, especially</div> <div> during those times when everything seemed impossible:</div> <bR> <div> "Where God is, a spider's web is as a stone wall. </div> <div> Where God is not, a stone wall is as a spider's web."</div> <bR> <div> Author Unknown</div> <bR> <div> ====================================================================================================</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div>  <META HTTP-EQUIV="imagetoolbar" CONTENT="no">  </div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div>  <script language=JavaScript>  </script>  </div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
