Happy New Year!

I hope everyone who reads this has started off in this brand new year with hope. The world is such a mess. Its up to all of us to do their part. Sometimes we think ..what can I do? I'm just one person. I have no special talent..I am in no position on the social ladder to make a difference. I'm not a celebrity nor do I have a relative that is. I am not rich. In fact, maybe considered one of the poorest people. Remember, Christ was not rich in this world either. By choice. I've often considered this..would I choose this? well, I must have agreed with my Creator about this..being where I am in my life was choice. I suppose I could aspire to a whole lot but this life in this world is temporary. So, what can I do?

I can choose to love my family. I can choose to help others around me should I see a need. I can give my life in service to my Lord and Savior. I've decided that this is just what I will do. I started a crocheting/knitting group some time ago. That group is called, Crafter's in the Attic. This little group makes things for people in need. We are indeed small. There are only 24 of us. Recently one of ours died. It was sad as we will not speak to her again in this life..but joy because she has gone home and is in peace with Our Lord. I guess what I want to say is this. We give all that we can...most of us are on a fixed income. We share our lives..happiness as well as sad..births and deaths..because all of this is life.. yet, we are rich.

Crafter's in the Attic is starting off this year with an event called, The Caring House. Its a place in Michigan that takes in women and children who have been in an abusive situation. We make things like slippers, scarves, hats, shawls, blankets, etc. Also being sent are little bags of things to be clean and feel decent..like a toothbrush/toothpaste..its amazing how these little things give comfort..if anyone who reads this wishes to join us...here is our url..

Hook's up!
