As part of our Walk in Wednesday activities a knitting group has emerged. We had a great discussion yesterday afternoon about whether knitting could help us in our spiritual life? We wondered whether as we knitted we might pray or think about the person who would receive our finished work.
We are knitting for a charity called "Hug a baby" who provide knitted blankets and baby clothes for premature babies in a hospital in the Western Cape, South Africa. The women who give birth there have very little and the packs they are issued with include items for the baby along with paracetamol and sanitary protections for the mums.
Lord, thank you that you have given us so much. Surround these women with your love and your hope, help them deliver safely and give them strength and the skills to their babies. May we all know we are loved as your children. Amen.
