FMC Prayer Stations
Not many people get excited about Lent decorations, but a dear friend of mine gave me this centerpiece for the table 3 or 4 years ago and I still love pulling it out each year to have a daily visual reminder that we are in the season of lent. Calvin and I did not attend an Ash Wednesday service this year, however with the recent deaths in our family I believe this year the Genesis scripture "Remember that thou are dust, and to dust thou shall return" is settling in more than ever. I have been asked where the tradition of ashes stemmed from and I believe it is a symbol for expressing sorrow for our sins. Fasting or giving up a luxury item during lent is also a traditional way to remember Jesus' time in the desert. I am currently not planning to fast from a particular item, but instead I plan to focus on changing a couple habits and redirect my energy to the service of others.
Yay, it’s December! It’s my favorite time of the year. It’s that time to start decorating for Christmas. My first piece of decoration and my first DIY project of the Christmas season is a prayer drop box. This is something that I have been wanting to do for a long time but I just never […]

Anja Kieboom from http://www.scrapitch.over-blog.com wrote to share with us how she made a prayer flag for a friend who suffers from cancer: I wrote the words down in the normal way on a piece of fusible interfacing that i ironed back to front to get the mirror image on the back to do the free sewing correctly. Every stitch i made was a prayer for her. I hope she'll find a lot of courage to battle this treacherous disease.At the same time I hope that the prayers will be carried to those who also suffer and hope they will find the strength to cope with it. I used a big, old nail I found somewhere for the hanging. Nails, as we sometimes see in old paintings, are supposed to be the symbol of great suffering. I added ribbons to help the prayers to be swept along. I created the black and white flower pattern by using a gelli plate to finish the back of the prayer flag. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful flag with us Anja! Her blog is in French but the beautiful photos and artwork speak volumes in any language!
