It's All About Connections Stitch is for people 50 and over. It's the world's leading companionship community, recognized by the United Nations for the positive impact that it has on members' lives....

Hi Friends! Easter is fast approaching. So I bring to you a post today that a friend inspired me to write back in 2023. However, I reworked the piece so God's goodness and love are more evident. I'm also more satisfied with the ending this time. The question for each of you is, what is true love to you? Is there such a thing?...

But when you sit down and begin to look at them like I did recently, you’ll see just how much you have grown. You’ll also begin to realize you’ve gained wisdom and understanding as a result and now you have that to offer to others as well....

As you read each of the 5 posts (November - May) you might want to think about all you've learned on your journey thus far....
