To Russia With Love

   Shortly after discovering I had a talent for crochet and knitting I prayed for opportunities to use it to bless others. In May God answered that prayer. Artist Allison Hoffman asked others to join her in making bears for orphaned children in Russia. You can read her blog herehere.

It all started with this movie from To Russia With Love.

              
Like Allison, I was touched by the film and all that To Russia with Love is doing to improve the lives of children. Watching the story of these bears unfold has really shown me how God can grow seeds of kindness to large and powerful trees. Kindness tends to have a snowball effect, causing people who see others doing it to want to jump on the wagon with them. I'm so excited for these bears to end up in the loving arms of a child all their own.
