Last week was something else, I tell ya. I mentioned before that we moved Garth’s mother into an Assisted Living unit on Tuesday. The rest of the week was spent going through everything that was left behind in her apartment. It was quite the job! The fun part was “uncovering” hidden treasures. Pictures of the family we have never seen, recipes, 2 beautiful quilts that had been hand sewn, old spoons, stamps, letters, cards, books…I love when you find something and then later get the story behind it. It makes the object even more special.
One of the quilts that we found had a note pinned on it that it was hand sewn by Dottie’s mother, Nina. Later when I was going through pictures I found an old black and white from 1947 with the quilt hanging out on the front porch, and Nina’s Mother-in-law rocking in a chair by it. She wrote on the back that she had made the quilt herself. Cool!
Now the quilt is more meaningful. I think Heaven will be like that. There will be so many hidden treasures, things that we didn’t understand here on Earth. Things that just didn’t make sense will be revealed. Hardships will turn into moments of beauty as we see the reason behind them. How awesome that God is the Master quilter placing each stitch of our lives together to make a breathtaking masterpiece! Can’t wait to see the finished product!
