We are part of God's plan

life is one big jigsaw puzzle...

My wife bought this beautiful 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle. It's Disney 'Beauty & the Beast' with pictures of belle, the beast, the candle man .. you get the picture. It took her several days to finish it . I was quite amazed at her speed actually ... I mean, I thought it would take her a month . Anyway she got all the pieces together except 1. Yup one piece was missing . Both of us searched and searched and searched but we couldn't find it. I then got a thought that maybe it is in the vacuum bag ... maybe I sucked it in. So yesterday I dismantle the vacuum and took out the bag. I had dust on my hand, my face and it my nose. The vacuum bag got torn in the process. I got frustrated cos not only did I not find it but I had to sweep the floor now and I also have to buy a new bag .. money again. But what happened was that while I was sweeping under the sofa I swept out something and yes.. it was the final piece of the puzzle. If I hadn't used the broom maybe I wouldn't have found it . All my frustrations turn to joy and my wife was delighted of course.
I was thinking that maybe this whole life is one big jigsaw puzzle. We are putting it together piece by piece .. maybe sometimes there are pieces missing but its all in God's plan that maybe we are not ready for that missing parts yet but if we have faith one day we will get our final piece and then all our sadness will go away and we will find happiness.
