Scott and I received this beautiful handmade shawl from our dear friend Georganne Chamness, it is a prayer shawl that has been blessed for our sweet Lottie Lee. Words cannot describe the love and support we receive everyday, but tonight this beautiful handmade gift represents the tangible love. We will cherish this gift and wrap ourselves in the love from our family and friends as we patiently wait to meet our baby and we will take this beautiful gift to China wrap ourselves in it as we fly across the world, we will cling to it as we wait to see Charlotte for the first time and we wrap Charlotte in it her first night with us.
Prayer of Blessing
May God's grace be upon this shawl...
Warming, comforting, enfolding and embracing.
May this mantle be a safe haven...
A sacred place of security and well-being...
Sustaining and embracing in good times
As well as difficult ones.
May the one who receives this shawl
Be cradled in hope,
Kept in joy,
Graced with peace
And wrapped in love.
Blessed be!
St. Philips ACTS, 2011
