PSM update

Hello to all members and fans of the Prayer Shawl Ministry.  Hope you are having a wonderful week.  We had a great group this week.  Thanks to Robin who gave us a wonderful prayer and reminded us that this ministry belongs to the Lord.  He has blessed us so very richly with an abundance of completed items as well as yarn to work with.  God is good all the time.

I am attaching two patterns that have been requested.  One is the wheelchair wrap pattern that has been so well received.  The other is a specialty item.  It is a bag that goes on a walker for those who need walkers to get around.  It enables the user to carry things while keeping their hands free for sturdy grip and good balance.  If you have any questions on either one, please ask me and I will try to help you with them.

LAST CALL to help out with a donation of a Michael’s gift card to dear Mildred, a friend of Helon Gragg who made 10 incredible hand knit sweaters for us to sell at $35 each to help fund our ministry.  She paid for all the materials herself, and we want to help encourage her generosity.  I am fronting some extra funds, so if you can contribute, please let me know ASAP.  Every dollar is a blessing. 

For those of you who have not yet heard, Zena got an A+ report card from her doctor today.  She is now the star student and is cleared to resume normal activities.  Her tests and EKG were all normal.  Welcome back to the hustle and bustle of life Zena and we celebrate with you.  Beverly and I had the honor of going to Zena’s home on Wednesday afternoon to deliver a prayer shawl for her.  We prayed together, asking God for His healing power and thanked Him for all He has done.  Zena was very appreciative and we all agreed that it was not the shawl, but the prayer sent up to the Lord in earnest love and faith which has touched God’s heart and healed Zena’s.  PRAISE GOD.

Do you know of anyone else needing a prayer shawl or just prayer in general?  If so, let me know and I can share that news with the group.  Before I send out a new revised copy of the PSM members, does anyone object to sharing their contact information?  By next newsletter I want to send you a revised list with all the members in case you want to contact one another or pray for each other. 

We are always in need of a few more sets of hands.  Consider inviting a friend to the meetings.  All levels welcome as we will be happy to teach beginning knitting or crochet.

Continue to shine your wonderful light into this world, reflecting the Father’s love on those who need a bit of sunshine (or SONshine) in their lives.

In Christ,

Dana
