Crikey!!!

Crikey, I have made a promise I desperately want to keep. A promise I am not completely certain I have the ability to keep even tho I do have some mad skills! I am about to attempt a quilt made out of sweatshirts. No biggie you say, but wait, these sweatshirts need to be kept intact, no scissors allowed. This fact is what will make it so awesome, if I can pull it off. The stakes get even higher when I consider I hold in my hands the treasured memories of one I love. I don't want to screw this one up. I want this to be my finest creation, for him.
It is a humbling thing to be trusted with a treasure. It makes me want to step it up, get intense and serious. So this is how I feel about sweatshirts. What about other more important treasures I have been entrusted with? Treasures that are eternal. My kids, grand kids, nieces and neiphews, my friends, my brother, my parents, those I rub shoulders with each day. Am I just as intense and serious about these treasures? How are my prayer skills? Do I spend enough time keeping in contact with them? Am I loving them well, telling and showing them my love? Am I being the fragrance of Christ? How are my mad teaching skills? Can I convey the truth of the gospel clearly and in such a way that it draws the lost? This quilt of loves and lives touched will be my greatest work. Time to step it up.
