Sharing the Joy and Blessing

With over 430 blankets to make, we have been busy looking for more ways to spread the word and cut our cost per blanket.

To that end, check out Fleece 4 Less where we are able to purchase printed fleece for as low as $2.98 a yard. As of this morning we have received enough donations to purchase more than 90 yards of fleece at this lower price. Let us know if you are interest in purchasing a few yards or maybe a roll.

We have a video that does a good job of outlining the many challenges facing our West Virginia neighbors while illustrating how Fleece for the Flock can bring love and hope to these families this Christmas.

I don't know about you, but Mary and I regularly forward all sorts of cute and silly video's to family and friends. Rarely do those video's have the potential to effect lives like the one below.

It is our prayer that you will utilize these latest resources as you spread details of this mission with everyone in your particular circle of influence. Let your friends, family and coworkers share the joy and blessing of helping our less fortunate Appalachian neighbors this Christmas season.

Blessings and Grace,
tammy and mary

"Because we know that this extraordinary day is just ahead, we pray for you all the time—pray that our God will make you fit for what he's called you to be, pray that he'll fill your good ideas and acts of faith with his own energy so that it all amounts to something. If your life honors the name of Jesus, he will honor you. Grace is behind and through all of this, our God giving himself freely, the Master, Jesus Christ, giving himself freely." 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12
