Two For Two


There's another two-year-old birthday to be celebrated soon; and sew, there's a second Picture Play Quilt underway! This is Gregory's soon-to-be quilt as it appears on the design wall; I will be adding another round of borders, scrappy pieced ones, before loading it onto Sundance for quilting.

Gregory's Daddy (our son, Kyle) is facing surgery today to repair a spiral fracture in his right fibula following an accident that occurred two weeks ago. He will be receiving internal fixation. Some of you, those who have been reading this blog for a long time, may recall (click) that he is no stranger to this procedure, he had a similar (albeit more extensive) surgery almost exactly six years ago after he shattered the tibial plateau in his left leg following a fall. I am requesting prayer; for God's healing touch, and for patience in the process. I posted this scripture passage back then, for Kyle, it's appropriate to post it, to read it, once again today!





Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not rely on your own insight.
In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths.

Be not wise in your own eyes;
fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.
It will be healing to your flesh 
and refreshment to your bones.  
                     - Proverbs 3: 5-8                                                    
                                                                                                                                     

     Life is Good!

So sorry to hear this. Praying that God will guide his surgeon's hands and his caregiver's hearts. Keep us posted on his surgery and recovery.

And thank you for posting that piece of scripture. They are words that are good to keep in our hearts.

Hope his recovery is speedy! He and Gregory will have a great eye spy quilt to snuggle with while healing.

With our son, it was three broken arms within 18 months. Hopefully your son stops with TWO incidents! Prayers indeed . . .
