The little pieces of my life

Last week I found a charming shop in 5th arrondisement close to my university while enjoying my break by walking along the streets of Quartier Latin and trying to discover some of its enchanting little streets... It's sound so Paris, isn't it? So yes, it is inevitable that when you live in this city, no matter how busy or how much in a rush you are, you always find a short moment to slow down for a moment and delight in it. Well, at least that's in my case. The shop I mentioned was a game shop and it offered all sorts of traditional games like Mahjong, playing cards etc. But what I found interesting in it was the shelf of jigsaw puzzles of great variety of themes and sizes. I was surprised when I saw one piece of 13200 elements (who has time for assembling it all? - I hope to find it once :) It reminded me of my childhood when I used to spend much of my time on assembling jigsaw puzzles. I had found it amazing that from a total disorder of the pieces, with a time, I could finish with a nice picture. With the experience and age, I learned that when assembling big puzzles one has the fragments that are easy to be put together and others that it takes hours to find any pieces that fit them. But like I said, with the time, patience and persistence finally you'd reach your goal.
I'm not writing it just to boast of my proficiency in assembling puzzles :) but also because it reminds me a bit of life in general . At least, my life. The elements of it, these of great importance and those less significant - everyday issues, form my being. I am amazed how God creates a beautiful picture by assembling those little pieces. Among them, there might be pieces that ressembles miracles, the others might seem only to be obstacles. But all together when wisely ordered, they are simply making sense.
 One more thing about puzzles, they won't make a picture until they are laying on the right side. If the picture on a piece is upside down, the one who wants to use it, doesn't know where to apply it. It might similar in the spiritual life. It's important that we won't hide anything from God or that we won't try to keep a part of something for ourselves. Not only it is pointless, as God knows everything, but this thing cannot be used to be a part of the great picture.
By writing this, you may well assume that I see hope and sense when I submit everything to Him. May God never let me try to hide any part of my life from Him.
