Sweaters for Syrian refugees
Dear Readers,
There are times when I am reminded that life in Canada is privileged. Wars, bombings, and atrocities I have difficulty wrapping my head around are in the news every day.
Today I was blessed to receive an email from Canada Lutheran World Relief, asking for the gift of sweaters. Giving a sweater to a Syian refugee is something I can do, to move towards illustrating my love for a people and their distress. I wish I could hug everyone of them and offer words of comfort -although words would fall far short of aleviating the crisis. For now, I hope that my sweater will keep a sister warm in a far off land. The sweater is my hug.
Please consider sending a hug of your own. The Lutheran Church of the Resurrection in Halifax is collecting new and slightly worn sweaters, to send through HomeHardware to CLWR. You are invited to drop off your hug for forwarding. If you do not live in Halifax, NS, contact a Lutheran Church in your area.

Hugs and Son-shine,
Kimber
