I feel honored to have this friend. I "met" her several years ago through a PCOS message board. Even though we've never met in real life, I know she is a very generous Christian lady. For years she made afghans for all of the Mommies on the message board when they had a new addition to their families. Sadly, some women spoke hateful things about her, saying she was seeking attention for herself by making afghans and accused her of not really making them herself. I don't know why someone would say such things, but I guess they were probably jealous of her talent and generous spirit. She has not stopped making afghans and continues to donate them to various organizations. She's made one for both my son and grandmother as well, "just because."
I'm thankful for this friendship and her kindness. I have not used her name because she is the type of person who is not seeking attention or praise for herself. It really touched my heart though that she did this for us.

Bethany,
Unfortunately, many women do this. They can only elevate themselves by tearing other people down. It is wonderful that you can see her "true spirit" and love her for who she is. I'm glad you were blessed by the diligent work of her hands. God bless her and God bless you.
Bethany,
I had a friend who sent me a rememberance necklace after our miscarriage. It didn't cost much but the thought meant so much at that time. I couldn't have gotten through that time without the prayers and support of others. People like that are so important in life!
What a lovely ministry she has! Great is her reward.
Could you post a picture sometime? I'd love to see it.
I'm so glad she's continuing with this even through persecution. You have some great friends.
wow, that was so generous and thoughtful of her!
How sweet of your friend... how very thoughtful!
