Blessed by Hands How Have You Made Your Mark?:

A Study Of Hands by Lee Nabors

This wonderful collection of oil paintings has been in our area. We were inspired by the busy hands on display. They reminded us of all our caring needlework artists whose gifts bring comfort to so many hurting families. Thanks to artist Lee Nabors for allowing us to share the painting above. Visit her website www.leenabors.com to see more of her work.

Let the pleasure of the Lord our God be on us: O Lord, give strength to the work of our hands.

Psalm 90:17 (BBE)

From a Wife in Missouri: It has taken me a while to get this thank you to you but I have not forgotten your kindness in sending me a prayer shawl. It has provided much comfort since my husband passed away in June. There is still a long road for me to learn how to walk through the rest of my life with a broken heart. Thank you for the shawl & the prayers.

From the Lamberts: In last month’s newsletter we asked if some of you would consider providing shawls to family members in states where we have few or no contacts. To the great many of you who replied that you will provide a shawl wherever it is needed, we say a huge THANK YOU. In just the past month, three of you have already provided shawls outside of your local area…again, we thank you so very much.

Thanks and Thoughts
