“But we have only five loaves of bread and two fish!” they answered. Matthew 14:17 NLT That one verse comes to mind as I think back to the day when I presented the idea of a Knit-a-thon to our CommuKNITy Cares group in Salmon Arm. https://www.commuknitycares.com/knit-crochet-a-thon/ I had lofty goals in mind for our group!

I giggle now, but I did the exact same thing with our girls when ...
