It Puzzles Me

Yesterday I went to Big Lots to buy water and see if they had a new supply of postal tape for my Ebay packages. I passed by an end cap filled with puzzles. I've passed puzzles many times in the last year, but this time they called me loudly, so I answered. Since it is approaching Christmas, I found a fitting puzzle and brought it home. It's now in pieces on a board, for quick removal, on my dining room table. Its a puzzle that has limited bright colors, so I know I will spend time studying subtle shades and hues to complete the picture. My brain likes that for some reason, so I torture myself with it periodically.

Jigsaw puzzles are not the only puzzles that call me to involve myself with them. Sometimes, life puzzles "holler" at me loudly; I can't help but take notice. As a matter of fact, one has a hold of me right now. It puzzles me. What I am thinking about is us as puzzle pieces, and I am wondering how come so many of us spend a large chunk of our limited earth ticket as a piece in a puzzle that is obviously not right for us. I believe that when we are in the right puzzle, things fit and the final product flows to completion. At that point, it's time for a new puzzle,so, as a puzzle piece, we begin a new scene. A puzzle piece in a 1000 piece puzzle will stay in one place longer than a piece in a 250 piece puzzle, but  I don't think we are meant to be in just one puzzle in a lifetime; I think we complete LOTS of puzzles in various aspects of our living. After reading over that, I am sure I am not the only person puzzled now! Anyway, to wrap this up, well,  just how will I wrap this up? Any suggestions? I do have a good verse that follows along this line. It's amazing how there are good verses for everything. It's this:

For God is a God not of disorder but of peace. 1 Corinthians 14:35

If it's "hollering" at you, chew on it for awhile. Peace.

Love, Linda
