THE BRAIDED RUG

Grandmother had an old braided rug that she made, using all of Granddaddy's old ties. They were enterwoven with each other by using different shapes; colors; sizes, and backgrounds.
I loved that old rug, and Grandmother often told me that it represented the body of Christ. When I asked her how, she said it was woven one with the other, as the body should be, and each person in the body was a different shape and size, and they were all diferent colors and had different backgrounds.
When we are woven together in Christ, though, He strengthens us, and we make a pretty strong unit!
