    I am going to tart working on knitting hats for preemies/sick newborns soon on my new knitting machine, Im just wondering besides puttign them all in a ziplock bag to send the NICU/NNu to keep them clean, do you have to put them in seperate, zip lock bags for each knitted hat/jacket, and do you have to wrap them what do you wrap them in

    You don’t know that. While I understand and accept your beliefs, you don’t need to impose them on anyone else. I doubt a belief in God or no God needs justification.

  9. pilarq Says:

    You need to stop …
    You need to stop persecuting people. I don’t know if you are Christian, but I am, and I know that the God I understand doesn’t believe in that kind of bashing people for their beliefs, no matter how reprehensible they are to you.

    I’m really bothered by this — the March of Dimes is saving babies…but are they following up with how these children develop into adults? Or are they expanding their advocacy of prenatal care to other, poorer countries who don’t have the benefit of NICUs? I feel like some of what the MoD does is outmoded.

    Nurses are …
    Nurses are described as angels, perhaps God directs humans with the belief in passion and faith and hope and charity to want to achieve amazing milestones that are a benefit to those who are sick, poor and in need of emotional comfort and in need of love always and during the most trying of times and when a good or innocent person passes into heaven. God works in the hearts and minds of good people. Evil is against Gods good purposes and is at work in the people who abuse other humans

    If God offers a …
    If God offers a family the gift of hope that prayer might bring some healing to there child or a kind sweet soul of a human to comfort there child and them with nurses there baby is waiting with God whole and healthy and being loved by God in heaven and by the childs parents in heart mind and through faith that there child instead of sick and ceasing to exist physically with no soul, will be alive & whole in soul one day be reunited with parents after the parents destiny on earth is complete
