The Work of Their Hands


About a month ago, for the first time, I crossed this bridge

over to the Upper Peninsula

to visit Christian Freedom International's store. Note where it says "handcrafts?" There were lots of those, produced by Christian artisans in other countries where they suffer for the faith in various ways. Proceeds from the sales go to their support.



look at the lovely weaving.....sigh.....



cute knit hats.....



jute monkey that Mercy bought..... for every jute toy that sells, a child in Bangladesh gets one too....



The store was full of gorgeous woodcarvings like the one on the wall. Here are the happy little shoppers! Maybe we'll be able to go again sometime.
