Yesterday was an absolutely perfect day. Waylon came over with Roo. Kristina had to work but Waylon took her a plate of food during her lunch break. JT and his son, Justin (Roo's 13th month old cousin) also came for the day. I sat up a small pool in the backyard. The boys were so worn out that they both took naps before lunch. Yeah, it was a shocker but Roo slept about 25 minutes.
We had steak and ribs for lunch then watched The Blind Side and Front of the Class, both great movies.
What really made my day was when Waylon and JT arrived. JT sat down in the chair and noticed a rag quilt on the ottoman. It was my first attempt at a rag quilt. I had made it for Waylon when he lived in Minnesota. This quilt was a lap quilt. Waylon asked for a larger one so he could wrap up like a burrito in it. Waylon gave the first quilt back to me when he got his larger one. JT commented how he loved the rag quilt at Waylon's house (2nd quilt). JT said he felt so peaceful and comforted when he had that quilt on (even in the summer). Waylon then commented how everyone fights for that quilt when they come to the house, that everyone just loves it.
The quilt is made out of old flannel shirts and we all know how comfortable those shirts can be. But what makes this quilt special, is on the batting of every square is a scripture that has been prayed over Waylon. When I told Waylon about the scriptures, his eyes bugged out and said, no wonder everyone loves that quilt.
Waylon says he needs another quilt and this mom is more than happy to oblige.
Waylon also told me he wants to start counseling and spent some time looking for counselors yesterday while at the house.
Pray he follows through.
