When my parents were preparing to move on in ministry from their first senior pastorate, their church in Horse Shoe Run, WVa made them a quilt. Each person in the church (including my parents, unknowing of the plan) made at least one stitch on the blanket. Then each family's name was carefully added to a block. At the bottom it reads with our family's names and the date--I was 11 months old at the time of the gift. Now this quilt is a treasure to me, and like your own, it speaks to me. The relationships and love that were poured into them when they were young in ministry is what helped shape them for the future. I love sharing the story of the quilt now on display in my guest room, just as I enjoyed reading about yours! Many blessings. Quick story of my own ‘talking quilt.’
