Fall Apart at the Seams
I’m a firm believer in recycling and reusing.
I want to protect the environment, and I hate waste. I try not to throw anything away. Plus, I hate to shop.
As a result, I wear clothes until they fall apart at the seams.
If the rest of the garment is okay, I stitch those seams back together and keep wearing it.
Don’t you wish all of life could be so easy?
Don’t you wish we could quickly stitch our lives back together when they fall apart at the seams? However, that’s not reality.
- Technology changes faster than our brains can process.
- Tragedy strikes suddenly and unmercifully.
- Lifetime relationships shred over trivia.
- Responsibilities grow, but time doesn’t.
- Conflicting beliefs confuse us.
Without help, we can fall apart at the seams mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
So what do we do?
- Learn all we can about all we can.
- Take precautions to prevent tragedy, plus have a plan to deal with tragedy.
- Nurture relationships.
- Do what we can and accept what we can’t.
- Depend on Jesus, who holds us together regardless of our circumstances.
“He holds everything together by what he says—powerful words!” (Hebrews 1:3 MSG)
What helps you when you’re falling apart at the seams?
