“Our lives can be likened to building a wall or knitting a blanket: to reach the desired outcome a series of small repetitive events
must take place. Brick by brick or stitch by stitch, the work seems painstakingly slow. From the back, it looks plain and knobby, but
the front, with varied patterns appropriate for different stages in the construction, emerges over time as a beautifully crafted piece of work. In this hidden way, God involves himself in our lives, each day another row of bricks or stitches made from the events of the day, each year 365 rows. And how many rows will complete the picture? We do not know when the work of our lives will be finished, but we know that all these small things have the power to work together in completing the fascinating, intricate, and extraordinarily beautiful individual that God sees deep within every man, woman, and child he has created.”
