Gifts For All

 1 Corinthians 12:4  There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them.

The last compulsory, must knit stitch has escaped my needles.  Whew, I can now resume the slower paced, patience laced,  pre-holiday gift rush knitting.  Then in a flickering  flash I think of someone I might have forgotten, then another and the next thing I  know the sweatshop vibe begins again. What a challenge, to not forget anyone.  The sense of urgency and drive to not leave anyone out during the gift giving season. 

I am impressed that same sense of urgency should be present in sharing the love of Christ be.  So, filled with the desire and drive to make sure we let as many people know about the most precious gift of all

Making His praise glorious!

Giving Gifts with Open Hands and Heart

Psalm 112:9  (NIV) They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor, their righteousness endures forever; their horn will be lifted high in honor.

The needles have been flying through projects lately as if there is some unforeseen deadline, other than Christmas, that must be made!  There has been a profound sense of peace, precision and purpose with each stitch of every project started and finished. Will I keep it or gift it? The plans change as each ball of yarn takes on a new and recognizable shape.  The more I give the more I receive, so the choice is transparently clear.  Though I had no clear idea what I was doing releasing my selfish ideas and choosing to follow where God leads me it is imperative that I open my hands and release those pieces to bring God glory.

Making His praise glorious!
