I saw this picture posted on the Appalachian Americans Facebook page the other day and asked Mr. James Dunaway if I could please post it and he kindly said that its okay. This is another example of what I'm talking about on this blog when I post about the beauty within us and around us. Mr. Dunaway says that this is "More of my wife’s work, the church gives them to charity" and he has been good about posting pictures of his wife's work. In a later message Mr. Dunaway told me that "We are Cumberland Presbyterian. But she does this we a group of ladies at the local Baptist Church, they quit, sew, crochet & knit for our Lord Jesus Christ." Not only this is beautiful and well-done work, but it serves a social purpose and connects people to one another all around. Our creativity works best and reaches its greatest meaning when it supports others and connects us to one another and---really no small matter---when it helps those who need the help most. In my world we call that solidarity.
