I was going to tell you all about my awesome day shooting photos with my friend Amber. But when I logged on to Blogger to post here, I saw my friend Stephanie had updated her blog. Today, I would rather direct you to her blog and the loss that has struck her family, and ask you to pray for her nephew, Garrett. To get the whole story, scroll down to Stephanie's post entitled Please....
I haven't posted a lot of knitting on here in the last few years. Not much to say about it but I still knit. I knit because I love to create. I knit because I love sweaters. I knit because I grew up with a mom who is artistic beyond the acknowledgement she receives, and it's in my blood to do something creative. I knit because I love the good things God grows, like sheep and wool and muskox and cotton. I knit because I love colors. I knit because my boys wear what I knit. I knit because I like the rhythm. I knit because it has a beginning and an end, and they are achievable. I knit because when my hands are busy, my mouth slows down, and it gives my brain a chance to make better decisions. I knit because I'm really, really good at it, and it's one of the few things that others acknowledge, and we all need that. I knit because I love to knit. I'm working on a colorful shawl in alpaca.
Oh Karen, I had no idea this had happened. I've gone over to give my best to Stephanie - thanks so much for filling us in. Take care.
ReplyDeleteWe've heard the stories, but it didn't touch me like reading Stephanie's story and her first hand experience. Her family really needs our prayers. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine the sorrow that family is going through...my heart feels very heavy and I will keep them all in my thoughts.
