While crafting with my busy hands one afternoon, I made a sweet sweater for any needy child in my home city. Like my gal pals in my church ladies’ craft group, I have a charity for donating my wool and efforts. Hands are for charity and making woolens and toys with love.
I realized I was walking with my God, like my gal pals and the dudes at church. God made all of us chicks and chaps for love. We are all called to love God. His divine love is sweet, as Paul wrote to his community in Corinth.
This message is still valid today—flowing through us all and bringing wisdom inspired by Jesus’ sweet love. We can believe that obeying Jesus’ commands to love God and each other is our role in God’s plan. Everything has a bright side if we acknowledge that not one of us can solve global issues.
Loving God and praying for strength to unite our human race with our faithful friends can achieve miracles. We all hope and pray for peace and inclusion. Peace on earth will be worth it.
So, I continue in my worship and do my little part for the have-nots in society. The more we love each other in any humble way, the greater the benefit for our whole world. We cannot be humanitarian enough. We can all continue reaching out to unite and show the world we care for the disenfranchised.
I make the garments I craft with love. I keep walking with God, who is still sending us Jesus. His love is sweet.
Think of ways you can show the sweetness of love.
