Image via WikipediaThis is the season that we often begin to think about others and what can I do. In Montgomery there is a group of ladies who share their talents year round making teddy bears for children in the Jackson Hospital and Jackson Surgical Center in Montgomery Alabama. The ladies get together about every six weeks to pool the results of their individual efforts to gather, cut or stitch the teddy bears. Their effort results in about 125 teddy bears being completed and delivered to the hospital to comfort children who find themselves in a scary and uncertain situation.
Their project began in 2008 as a result of a bible study and a challenge to do something to help others. They would like to be their to hug each child and this is their way that they can do just that. Thank you ladies!

I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me. (Matt 25:36 NET)
