Baby Blankets

One of the things that really affected me on the trip to Haiti this year was during the Baby Blanket Ministry. As I gathered the blankets from the different women back home, I looked forward to seeing the babies' faces and how sweet the babies would look when we presented the blankets to them. All along I was focused on how it would affect the babies & small children.

But more and more I began to see how it impacted the mothers of these little ones as well. In a way it was a baby dedication for the mothers. The mom's whole expression changed from being excited about getting a free blanket, to realizing how important these little lives are to women in the United States who have never even met them. How women from another part of the world prayed for these little ones to make a difference in their lives. Something as simple as putting a little blanket together can express the unconditional love of our Lord & Savior.
