Marriage
I was thinking this morning of the little beaded tassels I am learning to make, and being amazed that with so little to work with, at the end it is a thing of beauty. There are two different kinds of bead. tiny little cylinders, smooth and polished, and long, faceted tubes in the same hue.
And although they are the exact same color, because of the difference in size and shape, they appear to be different because of how they reflect the light.
The beads are strung in a pattern of short and long, delicate strands on silk thread, and at the end the thread passes through an anchor bead, then up through the whole strand again.
It gets its strength from the thread passing twice through each bead in the strand, but it has softness too, so it will swing in the breeze as you hold the whole thing in your hands.
But what holds it together, what keeps the form right, is the anchor bead at the end, the thread passes through it, then around it, and it keeps the beads lined up tight.
It reminded me so of the love that we have, and the time together we have to share - its like we are taking the hours of our days, and stringing them one by one on a thread of love, making a tassel of tender care.
Each strand is so lovely, for each hour is too, the symbols of time passing through, and at the end of each one, or is it the beginning, we have our anchor so true.
For God is what holds all things together, including the love of us two, for He is the one who put the beads in my hands, the day that He brought me you.
Now each day is a joy, my heart soars with delight with each bead I add to the strand, and when day is done, I give them all to you, knowing my life and heart are safe in your hands.
This tassel of love catches the light that shines down on us from above, and our world sparkles and shines with the reflection of it, for we share the light of love.
