YARN!!!

Well, i have received an amazing gift this week. One of my friends grandmothers passed on and she received most of her estate. She was a crafter and had lot of supplies. My friend Terri knew i was a crafter and decided to give me the yarn and crochet thread b/c she didn't use it. I was to say the least surprised when i received 6-33 gallon bags of yarn. Thrilled and almost overwhelmed with such a gift i knew i had to put it to good use.

I have decided to try to start a yarn ministry around town. There are dozens of happy "hookers" who work within the town. I wanted to start to make good for local charity chapters.

Well this is more of an undertaking then first expected. Digging around town i found there is no town based organization. I like the people at the "Linus foundation" When i was in the hospital with Collin they gave him a blanket while he was there. I wanted to help in that way. The "Linus foundation" give blankets to preemie children, traumatized children, foster children, and children in stressful situations to give them a constant comfort. I didn't accept that blanket for i have made a lot of my own but the kindness of strangers trying to giving comfort the best way they could really stuck a cord. So i am going to talk to the local shelters and hospital tomorrow and see if they accept this kind of donation. After i establish what they accept and need then i will campus the city for helper and yarn donations.

Wish me luck and send prayers my way! Hopefully this will be the start of a very fulfilling chapter of my life and maybe even a lightning rod to those seeking fellowship with God.
