IN PRAISE

I made this crazy patchwork vest to alleviate the distress I felt when my husband travelled away overseas. I wanted to turn the desolation caused by his absence into consolation.
So as I gathered fabrics together;
found old buttons and embellishments that recorded the story of our lives together;
collected embroidery cottons handed down through the generations;
pieced and stitched;
I gave thanks and praise to God for all the goodness in my live;
for all the people who loved me;
and asked for each to be filled with every grace and blessing.

Psalm 150
Praise the Lord
Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise him in his mighty heavens.
Praise him for his acts of power;
praise him for his surpassing greatness.
Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet,
praise him with the harp and lyre
praise him with timbrel and dancing,
praise him with the strings and pipe,
praise him with the clash of cymbals,
praise him with resounding cymbals.
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.
Praise the Lord.

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.
Praise the Lord.
