I received this in my email and thought I'd put it up here for you. It has a very "Christian" tone and that's not really me but I liked the message.
QUILT OF HOLES
As I faced my Maker at the last judgment, I knelt before the Lord along with all the other souls.
Before each of us laid our lives like the squares of a quilt in many piles; an angel sat before each of us sewing our quilt squares together into a tapestry that is our life.
But as my angel took each piece of cloth off the pile, I noticed how ragged and empty each of my squares was. They were filled with giant holes. Each square was labeled with a part of my life that had been difficult, the challenges and temptations I was faced with in every day life. I saw hardships that I endured, which were the largest holes of all.
I glanced around me. Nobody else had such squares. Other than a tiny hole here and there, the other tapestries were filled with rich color and the bright hues of worldly fortune. I gazed upon my own life and was disheartened.
My angel was sewing the ragged pieces of cloth together, threadbare and empty, like binding air.
Finally the time came when each life was to be displayed, held up to the light, the scrutiny of truth. The others rose; each in turn, holding up their tapestries.. So filled their lives had been. My angel looked upon me, and nodded for me to rise.
My gaze dropped to the ground in shame. I hadn't had all the earthly fortunes. I had love in my life, and laughter. But there had also been trials of illness, and wealth, and false accusations that took from me my world, as I knew it. I had to start over many times. I often struggled with the temptation to quit, only to somehow muster the strength to pick up and begin again. I spent many nights on my knees in prayer, asking for help and guidance in my life.
I had often been held up to ridicule, which I endured painfully, each time offering it up to the Father in hopes that I would not melt within my skin beneath the judgmental gaze of those who unfairly judged me.
And now, I had to face the truth. My life was what it was, and I had to accept it for what it was.
I rose and slowly lifted the combined squares of my life to the light.
An awe-filled gasp filled the air. I gazed around at the others who stared at me with wide eyes.
Then, I looked upon the tapestry before me. Light flooded the many holes, creating an image, the face of Christ.
Then our Lord stood before me, with warmth and love in His eyes. He said, "Every time you gave over your life to Me, it became My life, My hardships, and My struggles.
Each point of light in your life is when you stepped aside and let Me shine through, until there was more of Me than there was of you."
May all our quilts be threadbare and worn, allowing Christ to shine through!
God determines who walks into your life....it's up to you to decide who you let walk away, who you let stay, and who you refuse to let go."
I need this back. If you'll do this for me, I'll do it for you....When there is nothing left but God that is when you find out that God is all you need.
Take 60 seconds and give this a shot! All you do is simply say the following small prayer for the person who sent you this. Father, God bless all my friends in whatever it is that you know they may need this day! And may their life be full of your peace, prosperity and power as he/she seeks to have a closer relationship with you.
Amen.
Send this on to five other people, including the one who sent it to you. Within hours you caused a multitude of people to pray for other people.
Then sit back and watch the power of God work in your life.
Hi Tammy,
Just a quick hello from me and the girls. Mousse is back to her old self and feeling fine.
I understand what you mean about the MAP book and you're right, it was written after Machele Small Wright's book "Behaving As If The God In
All Life Mattered". I thought I'd suggested that book as well to you but maybe it was to Melissa... Anyway, my sense is that if you stick with it you'll "get it". Your guides are always with you and you'll know what to do and when to do it at the exact right time.
I'm free on Tuesday next week if you'd like to get a cup of coffee or a glass of wine...
Have a good weekend,
Tory
Hey Tammy,
I loved seeing you and Melissa today. I feel a great bond with you both and treasure you as friends. I've gotten a wonderfully loving response to my request for healing energy for Mousse and, to be truthful, she really seems to be feeling better tonight. She still can't walk, as it were, but she did hobble around and also got down the front steps to go "out". We did have to carry her up though and then up the main stairs to come in with us tonight. She ate a bland dinner that I fixed for her and my hopes are high now that she may get through this to remain with us a bit longer. I'll be taking her to the vet first thing Tuesday to try and figure out what's going on.
Have a great week!
Light,
Tory
BTW: I like your avatar and the look of your page it suits you.
Peace and light m'lady

Namaste,

I'm glad you're wading in and testing the waters. One thing that's quite confusing about this venue is the response to comments aspect. When you get an email letting you know that you've received a comment on your page and you click on the link you're transported to your own comment wall with the option to type in a response. Unfortunately the box offered posts the comment on your page instead of the page of the person who sent you the message so they don't get it.
I check on my new members pretty regularly so I usually catch when it happens (like now). Next time, look at the bottom of the comment from the other person and you'll see "comment back" and "view thread" either one will post your comment on the page of the person who sent the original message.
Love having you,
Tory
PS If you have a few minutes check out the forum I started today Cosmic reality and the Brain. The video is truly amazing and it speaks eloquently to the concept of The Disappearing Universe. I think you'll like it.
Smiles,
Tammy
So good to have you here! Check out some of the blogs, they're pretty insightful...
WELCOME!
