I looked and looked but could not find where this puzzle piece fit. I zoomed in and I zoomed out. I had Wendy look and it just didn't seem to fit. The subject came up this morning and I remember the context, and it struck me as memorable. I ultimately figured it really doesn't matter that I can't see where it fits. What matters, to me, is that when faced with an important part that seems to be missing from the big picture, so to speak, what do I do. Carolyn made up a piece, drew in the details, and patched it into the missing hole and completed the task at hand. What i liked, when I heard Carolyn talk, was what she did when she was confronted by the challenge. She put together her imagination with a little artistic creativity and came up with a solution that completed the big picture. I probably would have given up, looked for a few hours in places where I knew it wouldn't be, muttered something, and given up hope of finishing and put it back into the box to be thrown away. So finally I come to my point. Without Carolyn's point of view I would probably have gone in a totally different, and certainly worse, direction. I pray, daily, for help to make right choices. I need to seek help from these kinds of friends to help me in those situations where I might need help. I love that I am surrounded by God's children in times I need to fill in the pieces of my life, knowing that I can't figure out a lot of this stuff on my own. I sure am thankful for His love and all of ya'll. I'm lucky ya like me! So WOW again with my attempts to put my mind into a blog :)

John, as far as I was concerned, it's just a puzzle, but you made it into a much bigger picture. Comparing that puzzle piece to making right choices in life knowing that we can't figure out a lot of stuff on our own. Thank you for your love and friendship. Can't wait for when we are able to give you guys a hello hug again.
