Anne Lamott Quotes
Peg Came Over With Dinner Tonight And Told Me About This Dumb Schmaltzy Poem She Heard Someone Read At An AA Meeting. It Got Me Thinking. It Was About How While We Are On Earth, Our Limitations Are Such That We Can Only See The Underside Of The Tapestry That God Is Weaving. God Sees The Topside, The Whole Evolving Portrait And Its Amazing Beauty, And Uses Us As The Pieces Of Thread To Weave The Picture. We See The Glorious Colors And Shadings, But We Also See The Knots And The Threads Hanging Down, The Think Lumpy Patches, The Tangles. But God And The People In Heaven With Him See How Beautiful The Portraits In The Tapestry Are. The Poem Says In This Flowery Way That Faith Is About The Willingness To Be Used By God Wherever And However He Most Needs You, Most Needs The Piece Of Thread That Is Your Life. You Give Him Your Life To Put Through His Needle, To Use As He Sees Fit.
