Our First Puzzle

 

 

We put together our first puzzle in the mission house.  One of the team members, Laura brought not a 100 piece puzzle, not a 500 piece puzzle but a 1000 piece puzzle.  We all had fun throughout the week spending time together working the puzzle and sharing in conversation.  This brought back great memories for me with my family as we always worked a puzzle at Christmas or when we got snowed in.  How appropriate for this puzzle to be here during this time of a wintry storm in North Carolina.  The puzzle was a winter wonderland scene. The puzzle was not getting finished as the week progressed.  Laura shared, "Why did I bring a 1000 piece puzzle?"  We encouraged Laura and said we will finish this puzzle before we leave here.  And that we did.  Everyone put at least one piece of the puzzle on the board.  Rosa, Maida and Jose helped as well.  It was so much fun and a good time of fellowship together. 

Elayne changed up her devotional after watching the puzzle being put together.  Elayne had a great analogy of each of us are a piece of God's puzzle.  He has designed us to fit together according to HIS DIVINE plan and for HIS PLEASURE. The glue that will bind the puzzle together for all eternity is the love of Jesus Christ.  Elayne also shared all puzzles are not exactly the same.  The pieces are different.  We are like a puzzle.  We are all different but we all come together being a part of His masterpiece.  We are the pieces of God's puzzle here in Honduras this week.

For God is not a God of disorder but of peace--as in all the congregations of the Lord's people.
