FAMILY PATCHWORK: Inspirational stories
<p>
A family is like a Patchwork Quilt<br>
Each member is a piece of the total design.<br>
They fit together as the pattern is built<br>
With each new-born addition that is added in time.<br><br>
Each shape and color in the quilt is there<br>
To add some interest and form.<br>
Each person in the family is where<br>
With God's design, they daily belong.<br><br>
Just as the patchwork needs loving and care<br>
And mending when ends are frayed.<br>
So the family ties may need repair<br>
With forgiveness and apologies made.<br><br>
When a patch is worn out and must be replaced<br>
A new piece of cloth can be sewn in its space.<br>
But loved ones are so precious, each one so unique,<br>
They're priceless heirlooms we all want to keep.<br>
They can't be forgotten, our memories of them never end.<br>
They're in our hearts forever, we always call them friend.<br><br>
Though quilts are like our families, they're made by human hands.<br>
Their colors fade, their fabric tears, they lose their great demand.<br>
But families live forever, throughout time, across sea and land<br>
For they are made by God alone through His eternal perfect plan.
