"Any fool can count the seeds in an apple. Only God can count all the apples in one seed."
 ~Robert H. Schuller



You can try to hold it all together
with all the might one man can bestow.
Yet, the fabric of life is a garment
that only the hands of God can truly sew.

    Love, love your quotes. I'm facing a challenge today and the poem truly spoke to me or I should say God spoke to me through your chosen poems. Thanks so much for sharing,
    Susan

    It's amazing how hard we try to keep life from slipping away from us when in the end it's not really us who's in charge.

    A lovely write!

    What a lovely poem, and so very true. It is such a comforting thought that I don't have to struggle to keep it all together, just trust in the Lord to keep the plan on course. I love the picture, it is such an ingenious image. And thank you for following my blog!

    I like your little poem by itself, and it and the image really enhance one another. Although I'm not a Schuller fan, the quote is really excellent, too.
