And her Momma, she was a trooper, wrapped in grace. And her Momma, she delivered her to life down here. With her gentle care, she is teaching her about love, and kindness, warmth and the God who made her. And her Momma, she is setting her up for a life of worship.

He cut her cord and also released her into this world so full of good, and evil and everything in between. And in cutting that cord, he committed himself to her. He simply committed to be there for her all the days of his life, teaching her how to first stand up, then walk, guiding her every step of the way, providing for her needs from the inside out. That’s who he is, this Daddy of hers.

But in thirty-five years of quilting, we’ve learned a thing or two about our God’s faithfulness. So we marvel. And we joy ourselves in the moment.
