My momma was a seamstress and could sew anything beautifully. Many times when I was younger, she would lay out a pattern over the material and cut out a new dress for me. The pattern was a guide to show her where to cut and also what was the front, the back, the sleeves, etc. I remember one time she cut where she was not supposed to, and my dress became a sleeveless dress instead of one with sleeves. It was fine with me, but it really upset her that she had made a mistake.
I started thinking about the pattern of our lives and how we make mistakes all the time. Even though we have been taught right from wrong, the good and the bad, and we have the Bible as our guide, we still make mistakes. Life is all about our actions and reactions, our choices and good works.
"In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works..." Titus 2:7.
Being an example of Jesus, doing good deeds, encouraging, and sharing God's goodness everywhere we go, and in all we do, should be the pattern of our lives.
Love in Christ,
Tera
