PRAYER FLAGS FOR NEWTOWN

My time with my grand daughters has always been precious to me

and now that we've decided to move back to the States - away from them...

it's even more precious.

I can't imagine the heart break of the families who have lost children.

Well. I don't want to imagine it.

And when Diana Trout put out a call on Face Book for people to make prayer flags for Newtown,

I thought, I hoped, maybe I could help relieve some of the pain with my prayers...

with my flags.

Diana has since teamed up with Leighanna Light

who has begun a facebook page entitled The Hope Flag Project

My understanding of the "new version" of prayer flags

is that after they're made

they're hung outside in the elements

where they eventually disintegrate.

And as they fall apart over the weeks, months...

the prayers are carried by the air

to bring comfort and solace

to those in need.

Because we don't have a yard, 

mine are hanging outside my apartment door.

Create your life...
