Knitty Group (Saturday 1/12/12) Day 1,394

A difference in my life occurred while at a birthday party yesterday. Chatting with several of the ladies, we decided we would like to form a small knitting group. I have friends in other parts of the country that have these groups & seem to really enjoy them, so I am excited to be part of one.

Ours will be a bit different, since I will be teaching most how to knit, crochet & maybe quilt; but we will enjoy this & praying together. Most of all the time we spend together just sharing & chatting over stuff like we did yesterday. Learning new things, talking & praying about things & who knows. 

We hope a few young ladies will join in so we can share some of the old arts with them, passing along the past & present.  Not only in crafts; but in ways that they can honor themselves & God in the way they behave, act & dress.  So many young ladies see ads on tv & in the magazines that tell them they must dress & act in ways that attract men to them, when in reality men are truly attracted by young ladies who act & dress like young ladies.  You can dress pretty without being revealing, you can be attractive without a lot of make-up or cleavage.  Your skirts can be a decent length & still be just right.  Showing too much leaves nothing to the imagination or for your intended.  I'm sorry if I sound old fashioned; but I do believe that my body is only for my husband & others don't need to see what is there, not that they would want to anyway.  That is not the point, we need to protect our youth; both girls & boys.  They need to know they have value & that we hold them valuable.  

So our goal is to not only enjoy the arts of old; but to have a time of prayer for our nation & our youth, as well as each other.  A time to honor God & His ways, to be able to share & just have fun.

Thanks to Tauna for taking the reins & organizing our little group. Can't wait to see what it becomes; most of all a relaxed group of friends. ♥
