Oh yes, m-a, I've given away several and they are always appreciated. I have just one or two left of the first batch you sent, which have been supplemented since by other finds-- I am not even sure now which ones came from which source.

But two pressed, plastic-wrapped hankies at all times live in the church, so that others who know of them can access them.

Then when I go to a wedding, funeral ordination, or other "major" liturgy, one is always carried in my left dress-pants pocket for me, and another in the right pocket as a give-away. This is a culture where people still use and treasure them. So when I murmur, "Keep it," I always get a flash of thanks from the eyes and a squeeze of the hand. The last one I gave to a lady on the date of her confirmation (like a baby dedication but for adults). She was swept away by the event, and sitting nearby, so out came a hankie. Each giveaway is a special memory for me, and I recall each recipient-- not the hankie-- and it makes a simple but powerful prayer link, too.

It's a small kindness to be able to do, but for people to have a thing they can TOUCH seems to be huge, and your gift started it all. Now I have others looking for similar items and the cycling just goes on and on. Men don't turn them down, either. :~)(
