Knit in Public Day



Friday our little group of charity knitters received a treasure of information and emotional attachment to knitting leprosy bandages for people in Vietnam. President Linda Stocker, of the D.O.V.E. Fund Bandage Brigade, along with her husband Gary presented a powerpoint presentation and excellent visual aids that touched our hearts. She and Gary are truly living a life of service and love for these dear people who suffer with leprosy.
There were tears shed for sure.
Yesterday when our group met fingers were flying a bit faster now knowing how much the people depend on our efforts. I wrote an email to my children reminding them of how much we have and how worthy an effort it is to share our substance with those in the world who suffer so much, quietly. Linda said that they only talk about good things in their lives and always are quick with a smile and hearts of gratitude for every little kindness. What an inspiration this day was!
