Spring 2002 www.shawlministry.com
In celebration of the love, hopes, and dreams the two of you bring to this new dimension in your relationship-a gift, made for you with love.
As you wrap yourselves in it together, may it be for you a gentle reminder that
You are loved and cherished,
You are gifted and giving,
You share the riches of life experience;
You are knit together with the Creator,
the one who is with you always,
and with all those whose lives touch yours.
May this shawl be for you useful...
For fun, for love, for making up, for making decisions,
For comfort, for warmth
For strengthening your Togetherness.
May love and blessings flow from your new life
together to touch this world anew.

In the beginning, creating Godde, you formed my being.
You knit me together in my mother's womb.
To my flesh and blood you gave the breath of Life.
O loving One, we celebrate this day, gift of your love.
You have granted life as gift of your faithfulness to all generations. Grant your light to journey by; grant your hope to sustain my becoming all that I can be.
Bless my parents and all parenting, that Wisdom will guide your children to will and to work for good to the benefit of all living on this planet home.
May this wrap, whether for nurture, warmth, or security, be a gentle reminder of my prayer and Your presence and love with us always.

Loving God,
Bless this woman and this new life birthed into the world.
As she wraps her baby into this shawl, may she too, be enfolded in Your unconditional, motherly embrace.
Precious these two lives, forever bonded to each other - to You!
Bless too, this child's father... provider, protector, and guardian. As his child grows,
may he be given the strength, compassion, and tenderness needed to be the best role model
he can be.
Surround this family with comfort,
Wrap them in peace,
Bundle them securely in love,
Cradle them with hope in the future.
May their days together grow in joy, guided by Your tender, maternal love,
blessing this family through all the generations.
Amen
