Today was a good day, filled with unexpected blessings.
One of my favorite surprises was a shawl
"crafted with prayers for...healing body, mind and spirit".
Except for leaving the house, I have worn it all day.
And I am wearing it now.
It means a lot to me for several reasons:
1) A good friend gave it to me;
2) Her mother (a breast cancer survivor) knitted it, along with a group of women from church;
3) The shawl was blessed by a priest; and
4) When I wear it, I feel as though God's arms surround me.
Jeff's first impression of my shawl was a bit different:
Mobility in my left arm is still somewhat limited, so my arm moves stiffly.
And since I need a little help seeing the expiration dates on coupons, I wore reading glasses.
And don't forget the shawl!
Got the visual?
Items like that are very special! Enjoy. I often think G-d's arms are wrapped around you! When I say the Mi' Shebeirach, that is how I imagine you and G-d. That is a VERY special gift. Cherish it. It will carry you through I bet. My biopsy was negative and I am still waiting on the two other items. GG
