~wrapped up in LOVE

No better comparsion of God's love and comfort

than the thought of being wrapped in the

 heirlooms of our grandmothers.

~~~

Scraps stitched and held in place with the work of hands

whose love reaches beyond the threads of life.

Wrapping ourselves in God's comfort

when we can't piece together the unknowns.

***

Those times when we can't share with others

we can wrap our hearts in His Love and Word.

Remembering the sweetness and dedication

of those Grandmothers

who took the time and devotion to stitch each one,

is a gentle comparison to the faithfulness

of our Saviour.

***

Who is like you, LORD God Almighty?

You, LORD, are mighty, and your faithfulness surrounds.

Psalm 89:8

***

Recalling those past times

he wrapped and soothed when no one knew

 the hurt and the struggle.

Allowing ourselves to wrap our mind around

these rememberances, brings the peace

knowing HE will do the same for the future. 

Blankets wrap you with warmth,

quilts wrap you with love.

this featured collection of quilts belongs to my mother-in-law

she has them displayed on a quilt hanger in a room of her home

~leaving you with a touch of early spring

Longing for time to stand still in the days ahead...

as time is treasured with those

 we don't sit with often

we don't squeeze before daytime ends

and meals are not shared

as often as our heart desires

***

Enjoy your week ahead

while I am enjoying my time with family.

I hope to return and share

wonderful memories

and even a few captured through my lens.

Spring is close by~

'For behold, the winter is past,

The rain is over

and gone.

'The flowers have

already appeared in the land;

The time has arrived for pruning

the vines,

And the voice of the turtledove has been heard in our land.

'The fig tree has ripened its figs,

And the vines in blossom have given forth

their fragrance.

Song 2:11-13 (NASB)

 

~Unexpected Inspiration

Let's hear it ~ I have finally quit pinning

and completed a project!

My Inspiration was gained from this source

on Pinterest.

I love the old antique umbrella,

but I did not go on the hunt for one with a wooden handle.

The one I found for $5.84 from Dollar General

gives the same effect.

I added tulips, morning glories and hydrangeas.

Most of the items I already had on hand.

The eggs were wired and added for a touch of fun!

Just never know what unexpected welcome

you might get at our front door.

But, one thing for certain I love to make

 our guests feel welcome.

Joining the others for

Inspiration Friday.
