Small Acts of Kindness Often Have Big Results

Because this is the season of giving and loving, I thought I'd share this with you. Most of you have seen the little plastic canvas and satin ribbon crosses I make, like the one in the photo. I have been making them and giving them away for many years. In the beginning, I hesitated to accept any payment for them. I finally gave in when I realized I could use the funds to cover supplies for all the ones I gave away.

Well, tonight I'm giving you a link, here, to the story behind my fascination with, and love for, those crosses.

These began for me as a single random act of kindness by a cyber friend, way back in 1996. It is a basic part of my life now, and a happy, fulfilling part, at that. Thank you, Jennifer.

Thank you, Dear Father, for the happiness that Jennifer's single random act of kindness brought to me and to so many others. May I never forget that such a simple act of love can have far-reaching results. Please bless Jennifer abundantly, and bless every person to whom I have ever given a cross, and to those I will give them to in the future.

Not to my knowledge, Holly, but if I can connect via your post, or if you send me your email address (send it to emayfieldz@aol.com), I did make my own pattern up years ago from the one I originally took apart. They used to come in kits and sometimes you can find a chart to work one, but I did make one and I can scan and send it to you with instructions...I'll try to connect with you during the coming week...Hugs and prayers...Evie
