Threads

Jen and I were talking about how a friend is someone who helps you to see how the threads of your life weave together to make something beautiful.  We love how God wove together the threads of our first visit to the orphanage. So, in that sense, the threads are the members of the body of Christ, each a different color, but weaving together to make a beautiful product.

The ladies in Pocatello knitted over 300 hats, and today we got to give the first batch of hats away at the orphanage.  We needed an impromptu game, and God gave us the idea of stringing the hats on a piece of thread to make a "net."  We remembered a game that Kerry plays at Vacation Bible School where each team tries to throw their balloons over to the other side of the net, trying to have the least amount of balloons on their own side. We had a great stash of balloons that Sandy had purchased for our games.  Ladies who knitted all the hats, Kerry, Sandy, those who prayed for us today...thank you for being our beautiful threads! Thank you, Lord, for knitting us together in a beautiful way! 

P.S. I'm getting in trouble for not signing my blogs.  This is Megan, the "Blog Hog"--if it's not signed, assume it's mine.

    Megan, your kids are enjoying the pictures of you and Rader. Hadley laughed out loud at the pic of Rader, Larry and Jen singing. She said "I want to write something" So, she blogged for the first, but I 'm sure not the last, time in her life. She also is waiting impatiently for Poppa to get back from his hair cut. Smart little stink said, and I quote, " this is the longest hair cut in the world, especially for the hair Poppa has!" Keep up the good messages to the ones over here in the land of milk and honey. We enjoy them so much, Love, Madre
