For whatever reason while I was lying in bed snuggling Cody, I was thinking about my Dad. Not an uncommon topic of thought by any means, but this thought stream just hit me and made me think of how this statement applied to his life....
Life is a picture, paint it well..... He didn't paint a picture though, he was involved in a masterpiece. He did something so few of us do. He allowed God to sketch it and then he pursued painting it. When God created this sketch He did not reveal it all at once, Dad had to rely on His guidance to perfect this masterpiece that we all know as his life. It wasn't created with perfect lines or in bland color. God made it unique and colorful, through all of the blessings received and challenges overcome-turning every action/stroke into a meaningful attribute of the overall masterpiece.
The thing about masterpieces is that they gain worth over time. To us his masterpiece is priceless but will only remain that way if we pursue looking at it and remembering it, sharing it. The Legacy of his life is the masterpiece that he left behind, in all of the lessons taught, memories made, tears, and the laughter.
Another unique thing about masterpieces is that every artist has similarities and uniquenesses that signify their work. God is the same- we need to allow God to add or lives as masterpieces to His collection.
How much more meaningful would our lives be if we truly allowed Him to guide our every step!
