We've A Tapestry Of Stories

We've a tapestry of stories that helps build our quilt of life
Woven by the people that we've met
Prayer involved in circumstances that would come into play
And not a single one would we regret
We go to tell a story and then ten more would  come
And then maybe another ten as well
Such are the leadings of the Spirit
Praise God for the wonder of
That Hallelujah!... He giveth us stories to tell

So tightly woven together for when another piece is placed
The thread of stories keeps it's memory
Though they are shared so often and family knows them well
They seem just as fresh in the telling as they were back in those days

Our special quilt from Heaven woven by our God
Our stops and steps are blest and preordained 
Gold and silver precious stones.. our rock solid faith
While the wood , hay and stubble burns away
Thank God for the testimony that Lord Jesus saves
He loves to see the sinner be redeemed
The thread of life the instrument that's used to make our quilt
The Spirit of God directing all its seams!

Hallelujah what a Saviour!

About the Poet
I came to know the Lord as my personal Saviour in January of 1972. I was married on Oct 21,1966 to my wife Linda who also loves the Lord. We have ten children and now twenty-four grand children. In Aug 2012 we got the announcement of the birth of our first GREAT grand child (a baby girl). I was thrilled to find others of like precious faith and belief in Jesus Christ. Hallelujah! What a Savior! I am presently living in Champion, Alberta, Canada but we are originally from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada. That is where the poem Canadian Tribute to America was birthed. One Sunday as I walked across the city on my way to church I came to the top of a hill and looked across at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. After watching the events of the Sept 11 tragedy it was weighing on my heart and mind and the Lord gave me these words. We came to Calgary and when my oldest daughter saw this poem she said, �Dad, what�s this?� and I said a poem and she replied �Dad, that�s not a poem , that�s a song� and she then went to the piano and began to sing and play it. The result of which turned into a song entitled, A Canadian Tribute to America which she recorded on CD. garyjamessmith2005@yahoo.ca
