Day 80: Final Day of Retreat



A small loom was placed for decoration in our hall and reminded us of the retreat theme: "Tangled Threads to Tapestries." What we weave into our tapestries can be quality wool or polyester trash, and we can weave our yarn together as a group effort.

On Saturday afternoon, a good-sized group gathered outside under some trees to learn knitting and crocheting from other women in the church. It was a wonderful time for fellowship and for chat, and especially for building friendships. While our fingers moved and our minds attempted to count stitches, we truly slowed down our lives long enough to spend time with one another. It was a relaxing yet satisfying afternoon.
