It has been a couple weeks since the last post on this
blog. The blame can be placed
solely on the shoulders of a young man who has stolen my heart. My first grandchild was born in mid
September. This new grandmother,
heretofore to be called GiGi, has been in Texas helping the little scamp and
his parents. Lots of laundry, lots
of diaper changes but most of all lots of love, snuggles and sweet baby
time.
In the quiet moments of rocking the little one I have had
time to think about this blog, the
upcoming quilt show and the Paths of Faith class I will be leading.
Here is the
course description:
Calling all quilters! What you don’t quilt but
you always wished you could? Here is your moment. Debra Godwin, counselor, Bible student
and excellent quilter will begin a unique Fabric Arts class on October
14. The class will begin at 7:00 pm and will last until 8:30 or 9:00 in
the evening. You do not need supplies initially, you do not know how to
quilt, but you must want
to learn to quilt and create a piece to glorify God. As Debra teaches our
hands to quilt she plans to weave into our hearts a love and foundation for
God. There is no fee, no fuss, just conversation, creativity and openness
to the presence of God in our lives.
One does not need to be a member of Fairfax
United Methodist Church, or any other church for that matter, to participate in
the class. If you are interested
just call the church at 703-591-3120.
I am more than a little bit anxious about the
class. Questions race through my
mind. Will people sign up? Will
the class meet expectations for a spiritual growth experience, as well as,
a quilt techniques class? Then a still quiet voice loving reminds
me that my job is to prepare and show up; His job is all the rest. The impact of the class, this blog and
the fiber arts show are all in His divine hands. Christians are called to obey, preach the gospel and leave
the conversion of hearts to Him.
How comforting are the words of Jesus found in John
6:44 NIV "No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I
will raise them up at the last day.
My prayer for you tonight and every night is that the love
of the Lord and Savior of the World envelop you like a warm, soft quilt.
Blessings,
Debra
