The Gift of Gift-Giving

Being blessed with crafting skills, no matter how many or how few, is a true gift. Also, it enables me to give to others.

This past week, in the midst of the grave illness of a friend and loved one, there were a few gifts I was determined to finish. If it were not for crafting skills, I could not have done it. I finished a dozen pairs of adult crocheted slippers by last night. Also, half a dozen towels with crocheted tops. I had already finished a dozen thread crochet angel bookmarks, some foam magnets, and some other things.

Funds are extremely short right now, so the stash of supplies that I’ve built up was a blessing. All it cost me was time and love.

Thank you, Dear Lord, for the supplies I did not realize I had accumulated and can use.
