A reader, Lola, from Tiffin, OH, recently mailed me this anonymous Knitting Prayer.  It was so good I wanted to share it with all of you.

 Life is like knitting:
God gives me the wool and the needles and tells me
“A stitch is a day on the needle of time”.
After 12 rows of knitting, I have 365 stitches,
And in 10 years, 3650 stitches.
Some are purl, others are knit.
Some stitches are lost, but I can pick them up.
I already have more than 25,000 stitches and over 800 rows of knitting,
Only God knows how long the scarf of life will be.
The wool given to us by God to knit our life is of various colors:
Pink as our joys, black as our sorrows,
Grey as our doubts, green as our hopes, or
Red as our love.
Father, give me the strength to finish my knitting
So you can be proud of exhibiting my work for eternity.
