I got my very own.... prayer shawl

Last night at my prayer shawl circle meeting as we were beginning to pack up to go home. I noticed that several people were moving over beside me and I asked, "What's going on?" and they whipped out this prayer shawl and wrapped it around me. It is so beautiful and so soft. I was overwhelmed to say the least. I didn't expect it at all. I mean, I make them for other people. They were so sweet to do that. The lady that made it usually comes to our meetings but didn't come last night. She does beautiful work, doesn't she? Sorry these pictures are sideways, Joe never aims the camera the right way and I'm uploading straight to the blog so I can't turn them.






My surgery is tomorrow at 8:00 AM and we have to be there at 7:00. One of the lady ministers from our church will join me about 7:30 and pray with me before I go into surgery. My prayer shawl circle set this up too. One of the other ladies in my group is a surgical nurse and works with my surgeon but wasn't sure if she was working tomorrow. It will be a wonderful surprise if I get there and she's my nurse. I feel like I'm in safe hands with all the prayers being said over me. Will let you know how it goes in a few days. Signing off for now and love to you all... Cindy
