endure

The needle catches the knot and drags it through to the front. Where it is not supposed to be seen…hands shaking, mind spinning, heart pumping…

“There are 3 things that will”

endure. why? Rip it out, hands still shaking, voice still trembling…rethread the needle and start over.

The needle pokes through, pulling the walnut brown river of thread behind. Stitch. Back stitch. Back stitch…hands shaking, mind spinning, heart pumping, voice trembling, needle drags the knot thru AGAIN. Pull it all out. Calmly set it aside for another day. Why is “endure” so hard?

There are three things that will endure –

faith, hope, and love.

And the greatest of these is

love.

1 Corinthians 13:13

no one told me it might be ugly...it might leave gaping holes...
