I just got my own prayer shawl.
The “shawlers” were here knitting today and praying for those who they knew were going to be blessed by the shawls. And they picked me too.
There were a couple people with health issues who were getting them, there were plans to support some other people for other reasons. And they picked me too.
As the shawls are knitted or crocheted, the craftswomen pray. There is a meditation, a conscious imaging of God’s love and care that goes into each shawl. And they picked me too.
They let me choose the color (it’s a cool blue). They draped it around my shoulders. I lifted it to cover my head in good Jewish fashion. It sent a tingle into my body and a warmth into my soul.
They want me to use it for my prayer time, and to pray for them too. It is a cycle of prayer and support and love and comfort. And they picked me too.
It’s just so cool!
