Can you Knit?

“I want them to be encouraged and knit together by strong ties of love. I want them to have complete confidence that they understand God's mysterious plan, which is Christ himself." Colossians 2:2

I’m not much of a seamstress. I just recently learned how to sew on a button. I remember in High School home economics making a stuffed animal once...how was that helpful?  I had a close friend try to teach me how to crochet, my accomplishment?  A long strand of red loops. Could have been a very long scarf for a mouse. 

I dont know much about knitting. But I imagine really well.  I think of two strands put together in such a way they become one, one purpose, to be attached together.

Webster says this about knit...."to join closely and firmly, as members or parts." Pretty cool the things you could accomplish together instead of alone.  And then if you added more to the circle?   I imagine people praying, knitted to the same cause.  People serving or raising funds, all knitted in one way or another.  

I have a very best friend.  I am talking the best friend of all best friends!  Before you ask, yes Jesus is my best friend first and foremost but that's not who I am talking about. One of my co-workers described my best friend saying to me "you have the BEST best friend"  Yup I do!  Seriously my best friend is better than your best friend! We are knitted.  We did a bible study on David.  You may know David and Jonathon best friends!  “…the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.” (I Samuel 18:1) Read the story, its awesome.  To have someone so close is amazing, but even more amazing is the power we have to accomplish anything.  We have accountability with one another...not always fun let me tell you. But together we stay steady to what we know to be true.  She points me to the Savior and I do the same for her. I couldn't stay sober with out that, I couldn't run a 5k with out that, I couldn't know I was loved by HIM until I was shown by someone filled with HIS spirit. I need that!  My Savior knows that and gave me that gift!  And its HIS art work, knitting us together...how awesome thats HE loves us enough to be in the details of that?  It blows my mind!
