This week I gave my first prayer shawl to a lady that has breast cancer.  I actually presented to her husband and he proudly delivered it to her.  The look on his face was priceless as was the joy that feeled my heart to use the gift that God gave me to be a blessing to others.

I completed the first prayer shawl on yesterday.  Today the prayer shawl was blessed by my husband.  This prayer shawl will be a reminder to Jane (not her real name) that God is ever present in her situation.  It will also be a tangible reminder to her of the prayers that I have prayed for her healing, her peace and that she will find rest and peace in God.

As I was working on the prayer shawl today, I took a moment and just ran my hand across the surface and just meditated on the Love of God and knowing that He is with Jane (not her real name) as she battles breast cancer. I thank God that He is already moving on her behalf.

Since beginning my prayer shawl ministry just two days ago, I have received a praise report from Jane’s (Not her real name to protect her privacy) husband.

On yesterday I started crocheting my very first prayer shawl. This prayer shawl is for a friend, whose wife  was diagnosed with breast cancer a couple months ago.

The first entry of my prayer shawl journal is dedicated to Mother Edmonson. Mother Edmonson was diagnosed with breast cancer over one year ago.  Though the doctors only gave her a couple months to live, she lived for another 18 months and went home to be with the Lord on Friday, May 1, 2009.
