I think the thing I like about patchwork, is that no matter how UGLY a piece of fabric is, once it is part of the mixture it usually looks completely fine! Just like in life, sometimes we feel like we don't fit anywhere or we stick out. But when we become part of COMMUNITY, we don't stick out at all, we just fit in....
As part of a whole! we live in a little street going nowhere (a dead-end street!) and we have lots of what we call street whanau (family). It's great, the kids play, the mums hang out and we borrow stuff off each other. Sometimes (like all families) we annoy each other and have to work out some boundaries, but mostly it is fantastically good and we all support and help each other. It's our community.
Here it is hanging on our wall. The glass containers are all ready to hold some special Easter treats! So this Easter, what would you like God to make new for you? is there something in your life that is old and tired and not working? Put a leaf on the tree (comment here and I'll pin one up for you!) Are you about to start something new in your life? Is it time for a change? Easter is a time when we can remember that God is the God of New Beginnings and He is the same Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.... and for all our tomorrows.
