Corrie Ten Boom used that analogy when she spoke and would hold up the tapestry.

“Life is but a Weaving” (The Tapestry Poem) by Corrie ten Boom

My life is but a weaving

Between my God and me.

I cannot choose the colors

He weaveth steadily.

Oft’ times He weaveth sorrow;

And I in foolish pride

Forget He sees the upper

And I the underside.

Not ’til the loom is silent

And the shuttles cease to fly

Will God unroll the canvas

And reveal the reason why.

The dark threads are as needful

In the weaver’s skillful hand

As the threads of gold and silver

In the pattern He has planned

He knows, He loves, He cares;

Nothing this truth can dim.

He gives the very best to those

Who leave the choice to Him.

Corrie ten Boom

That is really beautiful. Thank you for sharing with me. I'm going to print it and put it on my wall.

You are so welcome. She used an actual picture of a tapestry in her talks.

What a mess on the underside! But a picture of precision and perfection on the front.
