Ms. M, I am worried about my dad, would you please pray for him?. Well, Ms. M. is a prayer warrior and later I would find out that she went right to work on my request. Four days later, we got the call that Dad had died. . The memorial service was a blur. There were so many people there, many of whom were Dad's friends that I had never met, or distant relatives from far off and old grade-school buddies. As we stood in the receiving line there was a particular face in the crowd that looked familiar, but I couldn't place it. Then I realized it was Ms. M. She and Rox had come. Jump one month later and Mom receives a package in the mail. It was from Ms. M. It was a beautiful, lovingly hand-made boot quilt. Mom unfolded the quilt and cried as she read the attached note: .
Margie - Approx. 6 months ago my spirit told me to make a "boot quilt". I entertained the thought for a while and then thought - I am not a cowgirl. The idea stayed with me. So I submitted & started getting my materials together. Then on my mission I started to cut and sew. About 1/2 way thru I said who in the world is this quilt for, LORD? I never got an answer until months later. I was told to use bright colors and strip it in red. I never used red before and thought "goodness". Then when I heard from Cheryl that Doug had passed away, my spirit kept saying you need to go to the services. I called Roxane & we met in Bastrop, spent the night and she & I talked about you all most of the night. How generous Doug was and a good guy. Then after we left the memorial ... on the way home I heard a voice say that "boot quilt" belongs to Margie - - all the pieces of the puzzle had come together. Doug liking red & bright colors. Thank you LORD that I listened to you! In my quilts, Margie, you will findmany mistakes in the stitching - they remind me of my life as well as others - we all goof up but God, after repenting to Him, straightens up our lives & we move on. So dear one, this quilt is for you with love. Enjoy & Blessings.
It ain't no good unless it's red..

Ann, we are still weeping – Mom just keeps the quilt folded at the end of her bed and it is such a reminder to us everyday. Thank you for reading and for your comments.

Cheryl, what a fabulous story of God’s Handiwork in many lives associated with your father. I loved the seamstress’s thoughts about the “mistakes” in her quilt: that are totally unseen because of the LOVE she put into each stitch: kinda’ like our shortcomings being overshadowed by God’s love for us. This is an absolutely beautiful quilt representing an obedient servant: a daily goal for each of us. God bless Ms. M . . . and your family, as you embrace the legacy your father has left with each of you!
