  4. Blaine felt uncomfortable in a group setting—especially when he was expected to do something unfamiliar to him, such as quilting. Have you ever been afraid to try something new for fear of saying or doing something foolish? How can we help ourselves or someone we know get over feeling self-conscious when trying something new?

  5. Selma had been holding a grudge ever since her daughter left home. This compounded her fear of rejection and lowered her self esteem, making it difficult to develop a relationship with others. Has a fear of rejection ever kept you from reaching out to others?

  6. Cheryl was an only child and felt all alone growing up due to the lack of her parents’ attention. Have you ever felt that way? What are some ways we can deal with painful childhood memories or feelings of rejection from our parents?

  7. Was it fate or God’s intervention that kept Emma and Lamar from going to Florida too soon? Has a reverse decision ever opened a door to something unexpected in your life?

  8. Carmen felt that too much of the news was based on negative events. Would you rather read about tragedies and other people’s problems, or do you prefer to read about the good things people do or that happen to them? Does hearing about other people’s problems make ours seem any less?

  9. Lamar tried to hide from Emma the fact that his arthritis was acting up. Do you think spouses should ever keep things about their health from each other?

  10. At times Emma felt like she was not getting through to her students or helping them with their personal problems. She didn’t want to pry, but she hoped they would feel free to share with her so she could help mentor them as she’d done with several other people who had previously come to her home to learn to quilt. What are some ways we can minister to others without prying into their personal lives?
