Beth Shalom....House of Peace

I have been given ten children to love as my own. Five, I hold in my arms. Five, I will one day. Each has taught me treasured lessons. I am far from the perfect mother and I have no special wisdom....only a growing desire to see intimacy nurtured between parents and their children. My Beth Shalom line of blankets is an idea born out of my many failures and more importantly, the Lord's all sufficient grace which continually covers them.

Here's what I wish I would've done sooner. Sat each of my children down when they were young and said, "It's quiet time. You are to rest quietly by me, right here on your blanket...at my side. It's the Lord's desire that we live together in a house of peace...so sit, Baby...for a while. Sit close to me...right here under my wing...and allow the Lord to provide protection and comfort through me." Gently, without frustration, tenderly, with love....I wish I would've said this to each of them from infancy. And in doing so....I would've hoped that their little hearts would be trained in stillness....trained in peace.

Handmade with the softest of chenille...interwoven with intercessory prayer....may each Beth Shalom blanket be a tiny instrument the Lord uses to prepare hearts for the peace which is found in His only begotten Son......Jeshua, the Messiah.
