On our couch in our family room, is a well-loved crochet blanket. Years ago, my great-grandmother carefully and lovingly wove it together. It was in my family home growing up for many years. Somewhere along the line, I inherited it. I noticed today that there was a decent sized hole in it. The yarn not as soft as it once was. So, I turned it around and I snuggled with the other side. It may be a little worn, but it still keeps me warm. It still is a soft place of comfort. Just like people, we may be a little worn out and not always perfectly put together. Though our life is still of value. We still have warmth and love to give. For God carefully and lovingly wove us together. He too knows our value, through all the stages of this life. Through the years times may change us in some ways. Yet, we are still valued. Like the blanket that is still very much treasured, we too are still treasured by God. Still very much loved.

Psalm 139:13-14 NIV

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

Luke 12:6-7 NIV

Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

Ephesians 3:17-19 NIV

So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
