The beginning..

This ministry was inspired during the last days of my Daddy's life in the ICU of Methodist Hospital. While my dad was on life support Maggie from pastoral care came and prayed with us and she later returned and placed a blanket over him. I was not present at the time when she left the blanket and when I saw it for the first time some hours later I asked my mom from whence it came and she said the prayer lady had returned and left it. She continued to visit us over the course of time daddy was in ICU and she continued to pray for us and my dad.  My dad spent a total of 5 days there. What a sweet sentiment I thought, daddy stayed covered in that precious prayer blanket til he passed away on December 19, 2013.  It was at that moment that the idea of giving back popped in my head. I said I am going to make one and donate it to the hospital in his memory with the intent of it helping to provide a sense of comfort to another family grieving for a sick loved one and as a reminder that they were not alone and that someone else cared about what they were going thru and was praying along with them. Where there is God there is ALWAYS Hope! I am working on my first blanket now and my plan is to continue to do so as well as collect them, embellish them with love and donate them to local hospitals in memory of my dad, Charles E. Gutrick. Rest with Jesus Daddy! I love you. <3
