A Pattern in Lace

A PATTERN IN LACE


A piece of tossed string,
Flung onto a business mail envelope
That I’d just ripped inside-out.
This combo was to be the subject for a photo
Which might be transformed into some sort of artwork.
Alas, the photo turned out blurred!
Error, mistake – my whole idea a silly thing.

Ah, but a corner of the string
Did become a sort of “bling”.
Lace.  Who would have guessed it?
Not woven into lace by a hand or machine,
But made through graphic manipulation,
An interesting thing!

Motif, design, deco, or whimsy, or fling:
I created a piece of designy art.
God’s work in me is like that –
Intricate, wonderful, with unexpected outcome.
Do I have such a pattern in lace, in my life?
Oh, Creator of All, to you Lord God,
A tribute of joyous praise I sing.

  2. Ah, yes, God's work is that in you, my friend. Such beauty laced into your person. I am so blessed to call you friend. Thank you for your encouragement these last several weeks. You are the kindest friend and I have been neglectful. Sending you love and keeping you in prayer!

  3. Beautiful--God's creation in us is like that. Wonderful. Intricate. With unexpected outcome! Oh how I've experienced that unexpected outcome--sometimes though, that's where the greatest beauty lies if I will just surrender.
    Blessings,
