With work almost finished for the day, I was looking forward to getting home and relaxing<\/a>. Maybe crocheting some rows on the afghan I was making. Funny, I still don\u2019t know who it\u2019s for,<\/em> I thought, turning to one of my last tasks for the company where I worked as a programmer.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d been making afghans for a few years and giving them away as gifts. I rarely knew who the recipient would be when I started a new one. But eventually, while rhythmically poking my hook in and out of the yarn, a name would pop into my head. I\u2019d given one of my afghans to a coworker with a difficult pregnancy. One to a friend entering rehab. My dad got one when he started dialysis. Usually, God was prompt about telling me who needed comfort<\/a>. But I hadn\u2019t yet gotten an inkling of who should receive the afghan I was near finishing.<\/p>\n

\u201cDid you hear about Susan?\u201d I turned from my computer. My friend Lori, one of the directors of our company, had stopped by my desk. We\u2019d collaborated with Susan from the county health department on a project recently, but I only saw her in meetings. We\u2019d never had a private conversation. Susan was way above my rank, so to speak. I just worked with the data her department provided.<\/p>\n

\u201cIs she okay?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s in the hospital for a double mastectomy,\u201d Lori said. \u201cWhat a difficult thing for her<\/a> and her family to be going through.\u201d<\/p>\n

There\u2019s my name,<\/em> I thought. The afghan was for Susan.<\/p>\n

But sending something personally seemed presumptuous. Wouldn\u2019t she think it weird to receive a gift from a random programmer? A handmade gift<\/a> at that. Susan was an important person, and I\u2026was not. Besides, Lori mentioned that the office would send something from all of us.<\/p>\n

That night, I prayed about it while putting the last stitches on the afghan in my lap. I hoped God would give me a different name, but none came.<\/p>\n

Reluctantly, I looked up the website of the hospital where Susan was having her surgery. There were patient pages, where people could leave good wishes. Susan\u2019s page was full of messages. Friends and family were visiting, bringing her gourmet chocolates, dropping off meals for her family. Susan has a great support network,<\/a> Lord. Surely the afghan ought to go to someone else? I don\u2019t even have her address\u2026.<\/em><\/p>\n

I clicked a link on Susan\u2019s page. Her home address popped up. I just can\u2019t, Lord. I can\u2019t send this gift from me.<\/em><\/p>\n

A voice seemed to come from deep inside me. Vicki,<\/em> it said, it isn\u2019t from you.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cYes, Lord,\u201d I prayed, \u201cI hear you.\u201d I wrapped up the afghan in a pretty gift bag, put it in a box, addressed it and wrote a little note: \u201cI hope this brings you comfort.\u201d I signed my name, unsure if Susan would even recognize it.<\/p>\n

Susan sent me a nice thank-you note in return. If she\u2019d thought the gesture was odd, she hid it well. Still feeling awkward, I didn\u2019t mention it to anyone at the office. Not even Lori. So I was surprised to learn that Susan had told her about the afghan herself. \u201cShe took it back to the hospital with her when she went in for reconstructive surgery,<\/a>\u201d Lori said. \u201cShe won\u2019t even let her husband wash it for fear he\u2019ll ruin it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, my afghans aren\u2019t anything so special,\u201d I said, feeling embarrassed.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not just about your handiwork, Vicki,\u201d Lori said. \u201cYour gift meant much more.\u201d<\/p>\n

I\u2019d worried I was being inappropriate, thinking I was the wrong person to reach out. But God can choose anyone to deliver his love. A voice had told me so.<\/a><\/p>\n
