There was once a Facebook post that compared walking across a floor of Lego with going through a fire walk. I thought that was fairly accurate - how much courage and faith do you have?

One of the "curses" of Lego-is stepping on that piece with socked foot as you walk across the room. I'm sure that is another analogy for life. I like that God "redisigns our broken pieces into new creations." Thanks for this fun, and perceptive post.

Through your post, I am gaining an added appreciation of the workings of his mind. I hadn't thought before of building with Lego as a spiritual experiences.

I still find it hard to share my difficult stories - sometimes because they are consequences for my choices, but mostly because I want to ensure they do not focus on me but on God and His work in me.<br /><br />I have always seen the same thing in stained glass, too!

It is a timeless toy (though quite expensive at times!)

I took a stained glass class in which I saw it very similar; God making something beautiful out of our broken pieces but just like building Lego it was work and took a great deal of patience. I've been planning on writing about it too :) Loved this. It is also something you could easily read to children :) Gloria Lynn Guesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14144091313075005581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-90147104426009099652018-11-26T08:39:33.295-07:002018-11-26T08:39:33.295-07:00Wow!
