Giving & Receiving

My residents and staff asked me what they should give up for Lent last year. I encouraged them
not to give something up but to give something back. We made 238-hats for charity from Ash Wednesday through Easter Sunday.


I loomed 400-knitted hats for homeless project in 2014. As I stood waiting for the bus outside of a food kitchen the other evening, a man was wearing one of my hats.

What do you plan to give back, or as some would say…pay it forward in 2015?

Today's Reflection: Give, and it will be given to you: Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will men give unto you. For with the measure you use, it will be measured unto you.” Luke 6:38 Modern English Version (MEV)
