Erin Benbennick’s hands are always busy. I like that about Erin, and not just because she surprised me a few years back with a beautiful purple prayer shawl I often wear when I’m speaking.
Erin has knitted a lot of prayer shawls over the years. She’s helped others experiment with a wide variety of crafts over the years, encouraging them to find their creative spark, whatever it might be. When Erin takes up a cause, whether it’s fighting human trafficking or supporting her husband’s work with Honor Flight (taking veterans to DC’s war memorials), she’s all in, rolling up her sleeves and inviting friends to help.
Erin shows me that God gave us hands as well as brains… and using the former to get out of the latter pleases Him.
Whose faith is inspiring you?
Can I second your vote for Erin? Her faith is so solid and steady that she’s not afraid to talk about the bumps and potholes in the road to heaven — because to Erin, nothing can thwart God’s plan if we keep saying “yes” to him. An inspiring lady, indeed.
We’re all surrounded by a cloud of witnesses, right, both saints and saints in the making! All are called to holiness, and we all inspire more than we know (as you inspire me, beautiful Rose!).
