A few weeks ago I received an email from David Timoth (the Soup man). A group of women wanted to come downtown and pass out blankets that they had made themselves.We have been passing out blankets for years, but this time was different. These ladies were so full of joy and it brought such a wonderful mood to the evening. They labored over these blankets and now had the opportunity to see the faces of those who would use them.They were so excited and so were the homeless people that received them. I ran into the Day Resource Center to ask if anyone needed one and was amazed at the number of people who didn’t have anything besides what they were wearing.It is such a blessing to see God’s people move to meet the needs of others. So often we come up with great ideas – that never see the light of day. We never have enough time or it would cost too much or they might not need it…. We have tons of excuses. But these women were called to make and give- and they did!. Praise God for them.

What is your calling?
It is always exciting to hear about people using their gifts and talents for such a good purpose. It is an inspiration to me – as well as a reminder that I need to use what God has blessed me with to bless others. Thanks for sharing this.
God bless these women who have been given this talent. Just before seeing this, He opened my eyes to the talents I had right in front of me and didn’t realize. I have been crocheting baby blankets and afghans and hats and scarves for friends and family for years. Well, now I’m putting all the leftover yarn to use to make hats for the homeless. I’m making them to fit all sizes, male and female in a range of colors, even some for the children and teens who might want something a little more “hipper” and colorful. By the time winter rolls around I should have a pretty good stash started. Please keep me in your prayers. You’re doing a fantastic job, Wayne! God bless you and the wonderful people who serve the homeless up there in Dallas.
