We Have Found Joy This Holiday

Recently I was present for an ESL Christmas party where we surprised the class with some very special gifts. The Kingdom Knitters from Cherry Hills Church had knitted and crocheted some absolutely beautiful scarf and hat sets for each of the students. As the gifts were being passed around the room, students began trying them on and posing for photos.

They were very happy and showed so much gratitude. It was a joy to see the effects that these gifts had on the students. There is no doubt that the ESL students, men and women of various nationalities, felt the common bond of love that was extended to them that morning. Thank you, Kingdom Knitters of Cherry Hills!
