Puzzle Religious Reflection

I have decided to reflect about something I have observed this week and what religious lesson I have learned from my observation.
     On Monday I went to voulnteer at a school. I help young children learn more about the Bible in a Bible Club. They had to put together a puzzle. The puzzle was in the shape of a heart. The children did not know this at first. They tried to keep putting the puzzle together, but it never worked. Finally after a few minutes, they were able to stop and think about the shape. They learned about a bible verse saying that God loved them. They put it together that the shape should be a heart. The kids were finally able to put the pieces in the right place.
     By observing how the kids put the puzzle together, I learned about some religious lessons. The kids fought with each other a little bit about where each puzzle piece should go. In life, people fight with God. People get mad when bad situations overcome them. Say their mom is diagnosed with cancer, the husband and children might get mad at God and ask why her?! Also, I observed how the pieces of the puzzle fit together. When we follow God, everything works out good. Our life fits together like a puzzle. If we listen to God and do as he says, our life will fit together one piece at a time. Even if the puzzle pieces don't look as though they will fit together at times, eventually they will. In life, we may seem some situations God throws at us and not fitting into our life plan. When I hurt my knees, I didn't  see this fitting into my life. I know someday that my puzzle will fit together. Each piece will have certain edges (characteristics) that make the puzzle (life) unique. Life is a puzzle that is being built one day at a time.

  3. Amy, this is really cool how you could make such a great anology. It shows how much insight you have into God's life and i really admire that. How you figured that once we keep our sight set on God our puzzle pieces fit together is amzing to me. I think that could make many people feel better if they know that someday everything will work out.
    Keep shining girl:)
