A basketful of colors |
That's what the colors reminded me of and that's what I called it, intending to sell this rug on Etsy.
But, my rugs take on prayers, and I found myself praying for my grandson, Antoine, and his young caregiver, Mary. It never failed, every time I picked up the rug to work on it, THAT'S who I was thinking of and praying for!
Once, my 16-year-old son walked into the room where I was busy crocheting and asked me, "Is this one for Mary?" I told him, "No, but that's who I'm praying for."
Of course, God knew all along that this rug was intended for her, and soon after-wards, I knew, too. The cheerful, candy colors represent her sweet disposition so well. She is a bright spot in her home, in the life of my grandson and everywhere she goes.
