I believe the Amish have a tradition of intentionally making a mistake in their quilts, as only God is perfect. You could go with that lovely sentiment! I’m a quilter and it took me looking row by row to find it.
Mr. Rogers was a Presbyterian minister and graduated from seminary in Pittsburgh in 1962. It appears he intended to minister to kids right from the start, based on his further education.
If you haven’t seen the movie about him it’s very good. Blessings to you.
So, I found it. But I think a bit of imperfection is reflective of the incomplete work we all are. Sure, you could take it apart and reposition that one square but ... maybe it's a better conversation starter, a better way to lead into wondering, a better way to encounter the Thomas in us all - to find the reassurance that Christ is there, always, even in a mis-positioned square (like me!).
So often you write just what I need to hear. Thank you.
