Embroidering(刺绣) When I was a little boy living in New York, my mother used to embroider a great deal. I would sit at her knee and look up from the 3 6 and ask what she was doing. She 3 7 me that she was embroidering. I told her that it looked like a mess from where I was. As from the underside I watched her work within the 3 8 of the little round hoop（铁环）that she held in her hand, I complained to her that it sure looked 39 from where I sat. She would smile at me, look down and 4 0 say, 'My son, you go about your 41 for a while, and when I am finished with my embroidering, I will put you on my 42 and let you see it from my side.' I would wonder why she was using some dark threads along with the 4 3 ones and why they seemed so jumbled（混乱的）from my 44 . A few minutes would pass and then I would hear Mother's voice say, ' Son, come and sit on my knee.' This I did only to be  surprised and 4 5 to see a beautiful flower or a sunset. I could not 4 6 it, because from underneath it looked so messy. Then mother would 4 7 to me, 'My son, from underneath it did look messy and jumbled, but you did not realize that there was a 4 8 plan on the top. It was a 4 9 . I was only following it. Now look at it from my side 5 0 you will see what I was doing.' Many 51 through the years, I have 52 up to my Heavenly Father and said, “ Father, what are You doing? ” He 5 3 , “ I am embroidering your 5 4 . ”I say, ' But it looks like a mess to me. It seems so jumbled. The threads seem so dark. Why can't they all be bright ? ' The Father seems to tell me, ' My child, you go about your business of doing My business, and one day I will bring you to 55 and put you on my knee and you will see the plan from My side.
