The Beauty of God's Plan

When I was a boy, my mom was embroidering a sheet of fabric. I was playing on the floor, saw her and asked, what was she doing. She told me that she was embroidering something on a sheet of fabric. But I told her, that what I saw down side was a complicated thread. She smiled, looked at me, and told me smoothly "My dear son, keep playing on, while Mom doing this embroidery. When this is done, I'll call you and put on my lap and you will see upper side of this embroidery. I didn't understand why Mom used black and white threads, it's so confusing, I thought.

A few minutes later, I heard she called me, "My son, come here, and sit in my lap." When I sat, I was surprised and amazed looking at beautiful flowers, with sunrise scenery as background, it's very beautiful. I almost didn't believe that, because when I saw it from the floor, it was something confusing. And then she told me "My son, when you saw down side, it was something awful indeed, but the upside of embroidery there was a designed picture, it's a pattern, I only followed it. Now, you can see the beauty of what I did.

During years, I've been looking above, and ask to God. "God, what are You doing??" God answers, "I'm embroidering you life." And I denied, "But I see my life is complicated, there are so much black threads, why didn't you use all entire light color?". And then God answers, "Keep working on what you do, and I keep working on mine for the earth. When it is the time, I'll call you to heaven, sit on my lap, and you will see my beautiful plan."
