Amy, thank you for sharing such a special part of your past. As I read it, my mind was flooded with memories of my childhood and how, from a very young age, I was impacted by mom’s and grandma’s creativity. They both exposed me to and passed on their love for all kinds of handwork. Recently, while knitting, as the yarn was slipping through my fingers, a thought stuck me…In the Bible it says that God knit us together in our mother’s womb. I was overwhelmed by the thought of just how intentional we are, planned for, for this time and this day, from our very beginning. His hands thoughtfully and carefully choose every fiber of our being. There is not a part of us that has not been lovingly touched by His own hands and from nothing He created each individual. Like a knitting project, our life, when lived in His hands, are evolving works in progress. Each joy or heartache is being thoughtfully knitted into designing us to be the individuals that might bring Him glory and honor. I am so thankful for my mom & grandma and the heritage they instilled in me, and for a Heavenly Father that continues to love and work in my life…and finds time to speak to me in the midst of my knitting. Thank you again

The ladies of our church started a prayer shawl ministry about seven years ago. Every Tuesday morning they meet for a few hours to knit or crochet all the while praying God’s love and peace into each stitch. They have sent out over a thousand shawls to those in need of His healing touch all over the world. The thank you cards that have come back from the recipients are so moving we know we are blessed also.

Beautiful. I used to do a lot of crafts. but health has robbed me of a lot. Now my memory making is we all go to church together and out to eat after church together. The grands get to eat what they want and we are all together. Everyone at our church knows where we are and will often meet us. There is a lot of love shared around that table. Some people that were at the table are in the nursing home now and one has died, but it is still full of love. Best memory I can pass. I am going to try and come up with something small I can do for each person. Thank you so much for your story. it made me cry. I look like my Grandma and so did my mother. We shared a great memory. God is good…All the time.
