I am currently working on a prayer blanket for a lady that has an aggressive form of breast cancer, known as inflammatory breast cancer. She has already lost both breast and is under going just as equally aggressive chemotherapy.
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.
Sometimes the things we think as small and insignificant are the very things that God wants us to use so that He can get the glory. I had been crocheting off and on for years but never thought of this as a ministry.
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.
When she wears the shawl, I want her to fill the presence of God. I pray that she will surrender her life to God and allow Him to work in her life and through her life as she goes through the healing process.
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.
She actually has a choice whether or not to undergo chemotherapy or hormone treatment. Alot of women don’t get that option. Jane is a beautiful lady. I have never met her in person. Have only seen pictures of her.
