June 3 Spring Cleaning My Heart

Lord, I’m sorry I’ve overlooked my heart.

Please help me open every part of myself up to Your light so that we could work together to clean out the dust. I long for my heart to be open and clean before you.

Turkey Tracks -- Why They Wander

 This month our group is remembering MaMa and Grandma.  For many those memories revolve a cherished quilt.   A cherished family heirloom.   For many thier memories are of MaMa and Grandma hand stitching a quilt.  I have no such fond memories.  It's fine. Because I never actually thought about it.  What you don't know about you can't miss it or crave it.  When my daughter was in 2nd grade I began making our own family heirlooms and memories.   They are not the same 'Real' Heirlooms as those hand stiched but they are 'Ours'.  She and I love the quilts I have made her and my grandchildren.   In planning for this month we knew one of our topics had to focus on quilts and our memories of MaMa and Grandma.  I went to a book The Quilt Life for inspiration.  I read about the pattern Turkey Tracks.  I had heard of it.  Seen it before but didn't know 'about it'  I learned the pattern is involved in...

It means when someone is mean or unkind, when they cheat or steal, when they don't live up to Christ's standard, we take the pain, bear the hurt, give them grace - pay for it from our emotional and spiritual store - and don't require anything in return.  That's showing love.  Their unkindness, their inconsideration, their thievery, their b...
