The first was longies for the little to wear over their cloth diapers and the second was socks. I just love fun socks and other than to work out I rarely wear plain white socks. I&#8217;ve collected sock yarn in every color of the rainbow and queued up\u00a0dozens of patterns I&#8217;ll make some day. In the short time I&#8217;ve been knitting I&#8217;ve mastered a lot of things, but I had yet to cast on a pair of socks. From what I heard it seemed so daunting and I just wasn&#8217;t sure I had what it takes. <\/p>\n<p>This past week has been a rough one for a myriad of reasons and my oldest son often leaves me bible verses. I&#8217;m quite sure God speaks directly to him because he always knows just what to post on the bulletin board for me. This weekend it was:<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0&#8220;Let them turn the other cheek to those who strike them <span><span>and accept the insults of their enemies.&#8221; Lamentations 3:30 NLV<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>Seeing it there in his boyish scribble reminded me of another of my favorite verses.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>&#8220;If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him  water to drink:  For thou shalt  heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD shall reward thee.&#8221; Proverbs 25:21-22 KJV<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>These verses speak volumes of how I try to live my life. It&#8217;s not always easy, but\u00a0it makes us feel better when we treat people with love,\u00a0even those\u00a0who don&#8217;t deserve it and I hope I have been able to teach my children that as well.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>Father of the man I married was recently diagnosed with lung cancer and is undergoing chemo therapy. This makes me very sad as I think he&#8217;s a good man. Despite their opinions towards us I still consider them family and I want the kids to send him drawings and well wishes. In times of crisis I craft. So I pulled out my needles and began to pray as I knit; for healing and peace and love. And my first pair of socks is going to him. I hope they keep him warm when he gets the chills, wick away the sweats, and more importantly make him feel loved.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-Cetw2EBYEFw\/T8ZYt9208XI\/AAAAAAAAAW8\/0iVXBU0b6jM\/s1600\/100_5134.JPG\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"240\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-Cetw2EBYEFw\/T8ZYt9208XI\/AAAAAAAAAW8\/0iVXBU0b6jM\/s320\/100_5134.JPG\" width=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><span><span>I learned some new techniques and I&#8217;m excited to make socks for everyone now. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>I have a shawl in progress.
