Jigsaw

 I like to go to MSN games and do the three daily jigsaw puzzles - the pictures are pretty and I keep the difficulty at normal as I do not flatter myself to think I am ready to handle difficult...and today I did my third puzzle and I lost a piece. I know that is impossible, but I had used all the pieces I could see and there was a hole in the center of the puzzle. But by adjusting the screen side to side and up and down I found a piece, sitting beneath the bottom of my screen. And there it was - a complete jigsaw puzzle. Some days are like that. I get up and get dressed. Everything is assembled and packed up and I go to work. It's like any other day but in the midst of the routine, something is wrong. It's like the puzzle. I think I have all the pieces - that being able to function and complete the mundane tasks of the day is a sign that things are complete, but there is something missing.
Now I don't claim to have the answers, but I do know that the days I add the Word of God to my day - the days I take the few extra minutes to open the Bible, read a chapter, a verse, a passage...those are the days I have all the pieces.
When all the pieces are assembled, if there is a hole, I know that I am missing something. I see that the most important piece is the one that completes me - my faith.
