I frequently read blogs by two friends: one who's husband is going through an extreme health struggle that has required their family, they have 4 little girls, to move from Wisconsin to Houston for treatment. The other is a missionary friend from college who know lives with his wife and two children in the Phillipines.
Their posts from the past 24 hours both talked about quilts and how they have recently touched their lives. For my stateside friends it was a new quilt for their bed from a caring individual who wanted to touch their lives as they walk down through this trial with the Lord guiding them. For my missionary friend this quilt was sent from an LWML group in California and is now one of his families few belongings and it allows them to stay warm.
When we look at the things we take for granted I was reminded that a quilt not only keeps us warm physically but the hours of labor put into the quilt can remind us of God's love for us. Through all things, all hours, he is surrounding us with his love and we can then share that love with others. What a blessing!
