A few years ago I was making small teddy bears. They were about 6 inches in length and I gave them to everyone I met. I had a little poem to put on them.
"When you're feeling kind of lonely, and feeling kind of blue, Just hold me close to your heart and remember God Loves You".
I always took several to church and even sent hundreds with the church members going on missions trips. I visited the nursing home next to our church and gave out some. One of the little ladies had two of my bears inside her blouse. She said she wore them there to feel close to God. There wasn't anything magical about the little bears, just lots of love.
Over the years I have sent out 3000 little teddy bears here in the U.S. and to many different countries. From that, I was called "The Teddybear Lady" by friends and family.
I've enjoyed reading every post and feel like I know each of you a little better.
