I bow down toward your holy temple and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness; for you have exalted your name and your word above everything.
On the day I called, you answered me, you [...]
Sewing, crocheting, knitting or any of the other needle arts can be used as a gift of compassion for others. There are many worthwhile causes out there.
