Just as a house cannot be built without a solid foundation, a puzzle is hard to construct without the outline to guide and direct us. Without love, our lives meander, even crumble. Love is the foundation. Love is the first piece. It requires patience, trust and commitment to finish a puzzle.
Life is the same way.
We must have a willingness to trust in God and take each little step as we are directed, no matter how small and insignificant it may seem. Dreams are achieved one goal at a time, baseball games are won one run at a time, lives are experienced one day at a time. Puzzles are worked one piece at a time. And each of those pieces is important. When I work a puzzle, I keep the box right where I can see the image I am working towards completing.
