My dear friend of many years, who is over 90 years old now, really warmed my heart this past week with a letter. She has always written beautiful and inspiring letters with many warm thoughts. She has enjoyed the book, "Love is a Quilt," and sent thoughts about homespun patchwork quilts on these chilly autumn evenings one feels the need for that warm comforter quilt. Here are her thoughts.

Art Appreciation: Lord, sometimes when I look at my life, it seems like a homespun patchwork quilt. Quaint, but not quite together. There are bits and pieces of cloth and colors, scraps of material, the days of my life. When you began to put together the days of my life, you must have known where each piece would go. You've told me that I am fearfully and wonderfully made. And I believe you Lord, I do. I may not be a velvet tapestry, but even crazy quilts have a purpose - to give warmth, and cozy comfort, and color to a room. Whatever I am Lord, you made me lovingly, carefully, reverently, and exactly right.

Thanks dear friend for these warm thoughts. You have touched the lives of many individuals with your letters. Thanks for all you're sharing and caring. With the holidays approaching, send along your gems with thought.

Another Warm Thought: When we become reluctant to change, we need to remind ourselves of the beauty of autumn. Have a great day!
