Last night we met for our monthly meeting where we work on some sort of handiwork that will be given to the needy. We are finishing up our shawls and lap blankets to be given to the elderly.
Some are beginners, some are more advanced.
Mothers and Daughters
The little ones enjoyed rolling balls of yarn.
Courtney finished her knitted shawl and it is BEAUTIFUL!
Emma claims to be her "moral support".
My finished shawl.
Next we will be making baby blankets for Sav-a-Life.
Using your creativity is a perfect way to minister to those in need.

Titus 2:3 says that we are to be
"...teachers of good things...".
We believe that part of these good things are practical skills that we all need in every day life to care for our family and neighbors.
One of our primary responsibilities as parents is equip our children with the skills and tools to one day be productive, well rounded adults. Children need to be exposed to many different areas of work. Not only should they know how to work, but they should want to work.
May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us;
establish the work of our hands for us-
yes, establish the work of our hands.
Psalm 90:17
