One Thousand Gifts (Continued)

"Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind" 

(Romans12:2).  

He folds and he folds and he folds some more.
He folds, he twists, and he gently pulls.
His wreath has transformed into a star.

In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God, we too are transformed.  Through the work of the Spirit, our lives take on many different "folds, twists and pulls".  As it says in 1 Corinthians 6:11, "You were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God."
