FROM SCRAPS TO QUILTS

She took all the scraps from my old dresses and delicately stitched them into a bonnet girl quilt for me, when I was growing up. Oh,how I loved it. Over and over,Grandmother Bouterse would tell me that it would take lots of different pieces of material to make up one bonnet girl, because it took lots of pieces to make up me!
These scraps of material for this quilt remind me of what goes into making up the body of Christ.....all shapes; sizes; colors; nationalities; talents.........
God uses all these things to build His church. He takes these pieces and stitches them together with His everlasting thread. It makes for a mighty beautiful and eternal picture of the body of Christ!
