When knitting or crocheting
One must fasten all loose threads
Or soon the stitches ravel
And the knitting falls in shreds.
If the knitter pays this heed
Her work will be "secure".
Her diligence to this detail
Fine knitting will assure.
Now things may just not work like this
As through each day we travel.
Even though we've planned a lot
Things may still unravel.
And that which we've relied upon
May suddenly have "holes"
Which need some quick attention.
We may even need new goals.
We may have to start anew
If our plans are getting "frayed".
Anything we have not faced
We no longer can evade.
God will help us with loose ends
And will help us find our way.
He will knit our lives together
And help us day-by-day.
"The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me..."
Psalm 138:8 KJV
