Today, we are blessed with a post from a fellow knitter who God put in my pathway via a knitting newsletter that I subscribed to several years ago. Nicole Haschke is also a charity knitter. Like me, she enjoys quick and easy projects to bless people with. I hope you are as inspired as I am to try and find a place in your community where you can give and serve with a generous heart like she is doing. Thank you, Nicole for sharing!

“Jesus sent his twelve harvest hands out with this charge:“Don’t begin by traveling to some far-off place to convert unbelievers. And don’t try to be dramatic by tackling some public enemy. Go to the lost, confused people right here in the neighborhood. Tell them that the kingdom is here. Bring health to the sick. Raise the dead. Touch the untouchables. Kick out the demons. You have been treated generously, so live generously.”—Matthew 10:8 (MSG)
