Tomorrow

 


Have you ever thought about the what tomorrow will bring? Do you count on tomorrow for your dreams to be fulfilled? Have you ever looked back and thought, "If only." Yesterday is what could have been. Tomorrow is what might be. Today is. Allowing the moment to slip away in the here and now is a travesty of our life. Unlike Christ we have no inkling what the future holds. It may never come to be a reality. The moment is too precious to allow it to slip away unnoticed. We as Christians need to realize the moment we are in is all we really have. It is OK to dream but we only have the moment we are living in. We should begin our day in thanks to the Lord for His blessings and grace. Dreams can be expressed but they are never guaranteed. The future is not a certainty and the past is not changeable but the present is both. It can be savored, enjoyed or rejected only while it is lived. It is one of the blessings we are graced with. What we do with the moment becomes our past and creates the possibilities of our future. Thank the Lord.

I know I have shared some of my needle work in the past seven years. One of my ultimate favorites is Called "The Prophet". My dear wife searched for this for some time b ut no one had it since it was discontinued. I was very disappointed but she gave it one last try when she was in a little craft store in Allentown, PA. The shop was a jumble of items from front to back, floor to ceiling. When asked if she had it, she went to the back of the store where it would have never been found and found it. It was given to me as a present. It is the prized piece of art work for many reasons not the least of which is that it was an answered prayer and a gift from the heart from my DW.


I looked on the internet for the company that produced this but it is not out there as far as I can see. It is an impressive image. The gold streaks were VERY difficult to do. The thread was a true twisted metal that broke more often than not. This hangs in our downstairs hallway. 

Thanks for stopping by and thank you if you left a comment. They are much appreciated. God bless and remember to "Love The Details."
