God's Heavenly Quilt...

God's Heavenly Quilt...

God's love reminds me of a Heavenly quilt
That warms and comforts those He loves,
Those who call upon His Name
And Praise Him for the gift of salvation-
People of every race and every nation.

God's love reminds of the softest feather bed
That I can fall back upon in times of stress
Letting myself sink in and be enveloped
For His comforting is the very best.

God's love reminds me of the softest pillow
That I can sink my weary head into at night
Or where I can weep my heartfelt tears
When things aren't going right.

God's love is there for everyone
It knows no boundaries and caters not to fame
God's love is for all who come to Him, abide in Him
And call on His Holy Name.

I Remember Mom Quilting..

By lamplight at first
I remember Mom sitting there
In her favorite chair
with needle and thread
Piecing together fabric
to make a coverlet for my bed.
Later we had electric lights
which made it easier,
I know
For the tiny needlework
she did for us
In the quilts
that she would sew.
Years went by
and many scraps
made their way
From things Mom
made for me to wear each day
Into covers large and small,
pieces of art they were
That never hung on our wall
But had places of honor
on each bed
Mom kept us warm,
Dad kept us fed!

Some would say 'hard times' but oh, what memories and lessons. Knowledge to draw upon in latter times. love it.

"Precious memories, how they linger
How they ever flood my soul"

What wonderful memories to have, especially when you can hold them, cover with them.
