Is life like a jigsaw puzzle?


We may think it is. We put the pieces together to form the beautiful picture we see outside the puzzle box when we bought it. We start with 50 pieces, then move up to 200 pieces. Sometimes it takes two hours to put all the pieces together, sometimes it takes days of our time and patience.

But in life, the puzzles are not 50, or 200 pieces. We lost count and don’t know the real number. We keep on puttting the puzzles together. Some are easy, and some…the puzzles are never solved. The pieces can’t be put together.

We all want the pieces to be together, do we or do we not?
A father, might be missing from a child’s life that he forgets how life is without a father.
A loving, caring and responsible father, not allowed to see his only child.
An absent father, he is there physically sometimes but most of the time he’s busy and when he’s around, the kids don’t even feel his presence.
An involved father, but not welcomed by his children. He wants to make every decisions, although not necessarily for his children’s interest.

Must we keep on putting the puzzles together to get a complete picture of everything?
