The Weekly Yarn ~ May 19

Though there may be fewer of us each week, we will still be meeting through the summer.  Now that school is finally out, come on by to check out our pattern and yarn supply.  If you are stumped on a project, bring it in for a conference!  Please feel free to bring the kids...even if you think they cannot sit still very long, it may be just the amount of time you need.  Who knows, maybe they will want to learn to knit or crochet, too.  We will have the room from 5:30 to 8:00 each Wednesday night, so drop by when you can.

Last week, we prayed over another generous supply of shawls and stoles. 

God is so faithful to furnish them at just the right time!

On Sunday, prayer cloths, shawls and chemo caps were made available at all services.  They flew out into the community, as people prayed over them and carried them to their new destinations.  What a joy to be able to touch so many lives.

Nancy sent me the following note following Sunday's service.  If you ever wonder why we do what we do....well, this says it all.  Praise God.

"I wanted to write and let you know that I felt compelled to get one of the blankets this weekend at the altar after praying. You see, I work for Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta in Cardiac Services, which includes CICU(Critical Intensive Care Unit), CSU (Cardiac Step Down Unit), and the Catheterization Lab. I felt like one of the children might need one.

So I went to work today and stopped off and saw the CICU managers, telling them my story. They told me that they knew the perfect family to give it to, that there was a child going home to hospice today and they could really use it. Please let those wonderful people who do this work that they are very special and that their work doesn’t go unnoticed. Just in case they want to know which blanket it was, it was a white blanket (with dazzle or silk in the thread)with large yellow, pink and blue stripes in it and was probably 3ft x 4ft.

Thank you for allowing me to give such a wonderful gift to a family in need of God’s love and care.

Thank you,

Bob"

 

Have a great week!
