This fall when one of my best friends came over she was telling me about how her mother-in-law was fighting cancer. I gave her one of my shawls and told her to give it to her mother-in-law for when she felt she needed some prayers. It felt good to give her a little bit of comfort.
They are not only for people who are sick, but for anyone that you want to let them know that you are praying for them. For instance: new mothers, newly married, or any other reason you choose. My mom calls them "Angel Hugs." I think that is a perfect name for them.
So for my 100 followers giveaway, I have chosen one of my prayer shawls. Feel free to keep it for yourself or give it to someone you know that needs your prayers and "hugs."I've added a couple extra goodies to go with it. A 100 Favorite Bible Verses book, a keychain that says "faith & grace" on it, and a prayer stone that reads: Grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
What does it take to win you ask? Very simple.
Rub your tummy while patting your head, and with your foot behind your head.....say the ABCs backwards.
I told you it would be easy. (send me a pic of you doing that please)
No, for real.....Just be a follower of my blog (have to keep it in the family) and leave me some lovin' in a comment.
I will pick a winner on Wednesday night at 9pm central time, and announce the winner on Thursday the 14th. Good luck and thanks for being my Bloggy friends.

What a great and thoughtful gift idea. I'd love to win one and you wouldn't even have to mail to England. Not that you would anyway~ that would be too expensive. You can send it to my MIL who will take great care of it until we return. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway and happy hundred followers.
How kind of you to give these away, I think it is is very beautiful! I wish I knew how to make them! If I won, I would give it to a friend who's husband just suddenly passed away. He had a stroke and within two weeks he died. She is just so broken about it. come say hi :D
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway! I am all ready a follower of course :)
ReplyDeleteCarrie
What an honorable and heart warming thing to make. They are beautiful, and did I mention heartwarming?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win such a lovely giveaway. I follow! :-)
Congrats Julie. I love the prayer shawl. It is such a great cause and I know the people who have received them have really appreciated them. When Heather had her surgery, she took that with her everywhere she went for the next several weeks. Thanks for being a part of that.
ReplyDeleteCongrats!! I love the awesome giveaway. So count me in; I'm a follower.
ReplyDeleteOf course I am a follower and I think this is gorgeous. I am so excited to be entered for the giveaway, but do you sell the shawls? The concept is great and it's a really beautiful gift. Please let me know
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower. The ladies at our church make prayer shawls and I can knot...but I am not that good or that quick!
ReplyDeletewhat a sweet beautiful giveaway, please enter me, and I do follow you as well!
ReplyDeleteOh that shawl is the coolest thing.
ReplyDeleteIt reminded me of when I volunteered in a place called the Healing Rooms in Spokane Washington. Sometimes my job would be to go in the cutting room and cut squares of material that had been anointed and prayed over. They sent these squares out all over the world. I would come out of the cutting room high on God and feeling real healthy!
My dad prays that the Lord heals the sick in that same Healing Room in Spokane to this day. They have seen the Lord heal everything from Cancer to full blown AIDS.
I know I am writing a book here but I love this idea and always wanted to make designer T-shirts and anoint each tag and pray over them and call it "Anointed wear" -Maybe I'll just start doing this with the crafts I make...Nobody can ever have too much prayer now can they?
Congrats on your 100 followers glad I'm one of them!
Robin~♥

ReplyDeleteLast year, I received a prayer shawl from a friend, who also made one for both of my daughters. It's humbling to receive such a gift, and to know that so much prayer went into it. God bless you for being the hands and feet of Jesus.
