Today, Christians all around the world celebrated the day that our LORD Jesus Christ was crucified. We do this, because it was His death, that brings to us eternal life... through faith in Him.
It's GOD's provision, that allows this Ministry to continue each week. This week, He did something extremely special that I think will be spoken of for years to come... Amanda was able to obtain a 4 pack of tickets to the Padres vs Dodgers game (GO PADRES!!!) We thought it would be so awesome to use the 2 remaining tickets to bless some of our 'neighbors'. More of that later...
The message shared tonight was well received, and 2 of our team members took the opportunity to speak & pray with those that showed an interest in giving their hearts to Jesus. That was really cool to see! Our volunteer numbers have grown in the past few weeks, so it was great to have the men be able to go among those the crowd. That has always been the hard part for me, because there are just so many people, and I can't get to everybody at once, so it's really nice to have that assistance available from time to time.
Everything went smoothly as far as the dinner went. We brought down a large bag of the awesome hats that we were gifted with last weakened. It seemed like most people were appreciative of them. It's always a blessing for us to see how something like a beanie can bring such a beautiful smile to somebody. (Please take this moment to consider, even the small things in your life, and never take them for granted.)
Onto the game we went: Amanda, myself, Sid, and David. Neither of the guys had ever been to Petco Park. It was a treat for all of us. The LORD hooked us up with a fantastic parking spot through another brother in the LORD. Although the Padres got stomped, we all had a blast!

Love covers a multitude of sin....
but love also covers the heads of cold people, through the loving generosity of an amazing Knitting Ministry called, Hearts & Hands. This particular Ministry has given our team hand-knitted beanie caps over the years, which has brought such a joy to everybody that received them.
This past Saturday (March 31, 2012)... Hearts & Hands held a ceremony for the Ministries that have been impacted by the love of this group. I'm pleased to announce that Loving Thy Neighbor (LTN) was one of honored Ministries, that spoke on behalf of everyone whose received a knitted gift from this group.
Before Amanda and I left the ceremony, they presented us with a very large donation of freshly knitted beanies! I'm not talking about a few or a grocery bag full either... there was an entire table filled with stacks & stacks of beautiful, hand-knit hats for our cold friends down at the beach.
I wanted to give a shout out to the wonderful ladies that GOD has called to Hearts & Hands, and honor them by asking all readers of this blog to please pray for them and the supplies they continually need to keep this awesome and unique Ministry going.
They are currently working on filling an order of 40+ blankets for an orphanage in Romania.
Again, all I ask is that you please pray for them and if it's on your heart to help in any way you can contact them through their website: http://heartsnhands.webs.com/
