*I was given a copy of this book from #FlyByPromotions for free for my honest review of this book. All opinions are my own.*
As God stitches each one of us into His story, he carefully picks the pieces and puts them into place. He knows each one us so intricately and knows where each stitch has been placed. We are beautifully crafted and evidence of His amazing creation and power.
Sometimes I’m asked why I so treasure a quilt that faded and lumpy. It’s because in my family, the Ohio Star is more than a quilt. It’s a symbol of hope. (page 34)
“That’s bright,” I said. “Gorgeous purple…” I told her that purple was traditionally the color of royalty, a fact that didn’t seem to faze her. She just nodded. “We should wear more. After all, we are God’s children. She looked straight at me. “Royalty. We should act as such. Treat each other as such.” (page 52)
Throughout Scripture we are encouraged to gather in His name, not only for worship, but for the strength to be had in uplifting and prayer for each other. (page 148)

My Grandmother made quilts by hand, piecing tiny scraps together into intricate designs. She lined and backed the quilt, and then hand quilted it together with small stitches. I have one of her quilts, now old and worn, used by my mother that was passed on to me. The devotional book sounds lovely. Thank you for sharing with us here at Tell me a True Story.
This book sounds like a lovely read. Thanks for sharing it with us at Together on Tuesdays!!!
