Just came across this note from Don that was published Late in 2009 and I thought it was a great tribute to the success of the Blanket Ministry.
I know that one of the reasons that Jackie even considered getting this started was the way my mother reacted and how her whole disposition changed when Jackie made her a blanket and gave it to her. She spent several years in a nursing home and it was difficult for me to be there as much as I wanted to be. When she received that blanket her whole attitude changed and she was able to show it off to everyone who came into the room and involve them in an upbeat conversation based on that gift.
It wasn't long after that that Jackie started buying the fleece without know what she was going to do with it. She knew that God wanted for her to do something with it but He had not made that clear to her. Shortly after that she heard him say for her to make blankets to give people comfort.
Fortunately for many people like Don's dad, Jackie was listening when God spoke to her. She also had the faith to follow Him without know where He was leading her. That is a strong faith.
