THE PUZZLE

Life is like a puzzle to me. We start out by opening up the box, and pouring out all the pieces. That’s when the life of the puzzle begins. The name of the puzzle is God and the bible helps guide us through this puzzle.

Our parents are supposed to love us like God loved his Son. But sometimes we don’t realize how important this is and we look for love elsewhere. Sometimes this can cause us to do several things like marrying young. Sometimes, our parents can’t take care of us and we’re left with people. I learned this when I was five years old, My mother and father left me and my three siblings with my grandparents in Oklahoma after moving to California for work. My mother and father was working on securing a home for us in California. I just remember how hard it was because my grandparents were illiterate.

Well I guess you are wondering what this all has to do with “the puzzle.” The puzzle comes in my mind when God brings these special pieces together. First time in my premature season and second in adult and later years. When my mother came to Oklahoma City to bring us back to California, she told us how she had prayed for us and how she had gave her life to God. In my adult life when I married young, my marriage didn’t last but God made a way for me. As I move into my later years, God is right by my side. He is showing me how to help others and this is the puzzle God is completing in me.
