Our dear little church has taken such good care of us since our arrival 1 1/2 years ago. They have truly been the hands and feet of Christ to us and have loved us so well. They continue to surprise us with the tangible and intangible ways that they love us. A few days ago there was a knock on my door. I opened the door and 3 ladies from my church showed up with a rather large gift for Elijah Brooks. Turns out, these ladies meet every Tuesday evening for a "knitting social". Their latest project has been to knit a blanket for each Covenant child born into Bethel over the past year. They are currently working on 5 blankets right now for the babies. Each lady knits a portion of the blanket. I opened the gift and found the most beautiful blanket for my sweet baby. It is so colorful and he loves it! It has become his favorite blanket for "tummy time" because he likes to look at the bright colors. I am so humbled by the way that these ladies expressed love to our son. We thank the Lord for these ladies...., Mrs. Jenny, Mrs. Kay, and Shirley...., for they have given their valuable time to make a gift of love for our baby.

ERIN! It's so good to touch base with you! I'm so glad you stumbled accross my blog, so I got to come over to yours and see your precious little boy! He is adorable and what a special quilt for him to always have. Sounds like y'all are at a wonderful church! I feel like Christy told me you had moved, but I just can't remember where. We are still in Nashville, but we moved to Nolensville in August and are really enjoying being here. I'm excited to keep up with you now in bloggy world - thanks for finding me and commenting!
