“Often God will send us what we need in a package we don’t want. Why? To let us know He’s God and we cannot second-guess Him. We cannot search for answers merely with our heads; we must seek Him and His provision with our hearts. Scripture cannot be interpreted from our limited human mental understanding. There must be a breath of the Spirit of God. He alone gives wise counsel and correct application.”

“May God’s grace be upon this shawl…warming, comforting, enfolding and embracing.
May this mantle be a safe haven… a sacred place of security and well-being…sustaining and embracing in good times as well as difficult ones.
May the one who receives this shawl be cradled in hope, kept in joy, graced with peace, and wrapped in love. Blessed Be!” – (Prayer Of Blessing (blessing for a completed shawl) By: Janet Severi Bristow – 2000)
