Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light for my path.

Red Sweater - Guest Blog

It’s May…the universal crazy pace month!  This is the month jam packed with events, activities and just lots of STUFF!  The month of May can cause us to loose our breath and come a little unravelled around the edges!  In honor of crazy May and the general unravelling we sometimes experience this time year, todays post hits the nail on the head!

Todays guest blogger is Gracen.  He is a witty guy with a huge sense of humor and a deep affection for a great prank!  I remember well his famous smirk as he looked up into the bleachers at me while the story you’re about to read unfolded.  



He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. Colossians 1:17

Five Christmas Pageants ago, I had just finished singing my 1st grade song.  When we finished, we left the risers and sat on the gym floor. As I sat there, I noticed a little string on my new red sweater. It was common sense at the time to quickly yank it off.  The only problem was, the string didn't rip off. I kept pulling and pulling and pulling until one sleeve of my sweater was about 2 in shorter than the other. The little red string became a heap of red string.  I walked up to my teacher, Mrs. Wohlfert, and she couldn't stop laughing.  We fixed the sweater with about 15 safety pins to hold my sleeve together.

The lesson I learned in our book and with my sweater in first grade is this; no matter how unraveled or undone things can get, God will always love you.  It just doesn’t matter how unraveled you may get, the Man Upstairs will stitch you together with strings of grace.

A seed to plant: How unraveled is your sweater? Is it brand-new or is it a little unraveled? Spend some time in prayer this week and think if your sweater is brand -new or does your sweater need some stitches by the Heavenly Father.​

Blessings on your day!
Thank you Gracen…you’re amazing!
