A Poem of Quilting, Life and God
STITCHING A LIFE WITH GOD
A Poem by Ann St. Martin Stout
I build a quilt with my own hands
The design is by Our Lord
Each day I add a little more
With guidance He affords.
Materials come from far away
And many close at heart
He provides for everyday
And faithfully I to do my part
Together, the colors go so well
But flaws, by my hand, are there
My Lord repairs and guides and helps
I feel His loving care.
When the quilt is finished
I shall rest within its grace
By doing my job most faithfully
I will rise, and see His Face.
