I make these mats from recycled
float rope…
Our local fishermen primarily used this type of
rope on their lobster traps…
Because of changes in fishing regulations…
the lobstermen must now use a combination of
float rope and sink rope…
So much of "old" float rope ends up in our local landfills…
I have been blessed that some of our local
lobstermen are more than willing to
share their “old” rope with me…
Rather than throw it away…
This is just a small sample of some
of the rope I have acquired…
Today was such a beautiful day…
60 degrees in November with a
slight sea breeze…
As I was working on a mat…
My thoughts drifted to all the
“unrest” going on in our country…
the pandemic,
the election,
the rioting,
the job loss…
the list goes on and on…
Sometimes it can become oh so overwhelming…
And as my eyes gazed at the beautiful blue sky
And gorgeous autumn colors…
I was reminded that the divine will of
God is truly all that “mat”ters…
God is in control…
I need to trust that His hand is in all of this…
And surely this is what
“mat”ters most…
“Wherefore be ye not unwise,
but understanding what the will of the Lord is…”
(Ephesians 5:17).
