Yesterday, Lauren went to her 8-12 year old girl Activity Days. They put together newborn kits to send to Haiti. The kits included soap, booties, a sleeper, cloth diapers and a blanket. The kits were assembled rather quickly, with the exception of the flannel blankets that the moms were sewing. We finished 3 of the 20 that we needed to make, so we all took a handful home to finish. Today, I spent a chunk of my day sewing blankets for babies I will never meet. I tried so hard to infuse the love in my heart as a mother into every stitch of each blanket.
I am so thankful for the sewing machine Brent bought me for mother's day 5 years ago, and for my ability to use it for good.

A challenge from president Henry B. Eyring: "Did God send a message that was just for me? Did I see His hand in my life or the lives of my children? I will do that. And then I will find a way to preserve that memory for the day that I, and those that I love, will need to remember how much God loves us and how much we need Him. I testify that He loves us and blesses us, more than most of us have yet recognized. I know that is true, and it brings me joy to remember Him." Thus is my goal.
