Prayer Shawl Ministry Update

Good Tuesday morning to all of you.  I hope you are enjoying the sunshine out there.  We have had the craziest weather this season.  More reasons to keep crocheting and knitting!!! 

I want to continue with a quick math refresher course.  It goes like this.  0 items left on the altar last weekend plus three requests equals -3 items in the closet. Next…  -3 items plus many prayers = 13 more in closet on Wednesday eve.  Next, 13 shawls minus the ones given to those in need plus several crisis calls on Thursday eve equals enough shawls to cover all the shoulders in need of a prayer shawl, plus 12 more in the closet.  If that sounds like the kind of math you were taught in school, then maybe you went to a faith based school!!!  God has been so very good to us.  Now, my father was an accountant and he was a very good accountant in his time.  His boasting included keeping several active Mafia members in NY out of prison without doing one illegal thing in the process. (can’t tell you the names since dad used code names for them!) BUT… my Heavenly Father is the greatest math major, accountant, and provider ever.  He makes things possible using Love instead of Law, Faith instead of Fact.  Here is where we have an exercise.

I say:  God is good

You say: All the time

I say: All the time

You say: God is good

And we all say AMEN!!!!

· Traveling mercies at all times for our team of faithful deliverers.  It is an honor to do so and I appreciate your help.  Travel safely on these crazy Gwinnett roads.

· Blessings to all those preparing items to share with those in need.  Prayers for God to guide your hands and find time to crochet or knit while still getting everything else done.

· Thanks to God for His provisions of funds for this ministry, materials to prepare items, and His love to keep us all sane!!

If you have a name of someone who either needs a shawl, cap, or square cloth, or someone who may have received one but is not listed for prayers, please let me know.  The items given come with the promises that someone is praying for them.  Don’t take that entire responsibility on yourself.  Let us help you with this.  We are all one family and pray for each other whether we know the people or not.  God expects no less from us and has equipped us for this service. 

Love you all dearly whether you are next door or next state over.  Be well, keep up the fabulous work and look for info soon on a new video driven lesson session coming to a PSM meeting soon.
