Things begin to look a little different when you are standing on this side of life. Growing older makes your prospective grow a little deeper and a little wider. You just see things different. Looking through the eyes of faith sharpens your spiritual senses and you wonder what truly matters. The here and now verses the forever, and the treasures on earth verses treasures in Heaven. And it’s a regrouping and I search for ways to store up those treasures in Heaven.
I have come to a place where I am such a rebel. I totally do not like to shop from gift registries. Baby showers have become a struggle for me. I want to spend more then just money on the precious miracles from our Lord. I want to give more then just buying from a list.
And so, what I believe is from the Lord I have decided to cover them with prayer. To completely cover them with something that will last for eternity. A treasure trove of prayers in a storehouse in Heaven that will last them their whole life through. A prayer covering in a form of a head covering. A prayer bonnet.
So I knit, and I pray.
And the wonderful prayer cards are made by my beautiful friend Joy. You can find her here:

Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving. Colossians 4:2
