Take care of each other 

It was a cozy night — all you could hear was the leaves shaking in the flowing wind. Needing a little warmth myself, I decided to make a red zig-zag double-crochet Afghan. It’s a nice and fluffy yarn that cuddles your skin. It was simple and easy to do. I was watching movies while crocheting this Afghan. The beautiful blanket reached from my shoulders to my calves on my legs and it wrapped around the front part of my body. It took about a week and a half to perfect this relaxing craft. My family praises the design work of the Afghan I created. 

A couple of days later, I heard a knocking on the door. It was a lady needing some comfort. She was shivering and blowing her hands. I told her she came to the right place and talked with her. She didn’t want to come in or stay. So I was happy to serve her some food and give her some canned goods to take with her. 

I blessed her with that cozy red Afghan. I gave it to her to keep warm that evening because I knew the weather was getting more breezy. The moral of this story is to always give to someone. People really need this great comfort.
