Blessing

Tonight I was able to attend the baby/belly blessing of my dear friend, Jen.
We made yarn bracelets that felt together as you wear it.
As you wrap the strands around your wrist you share your lineage as the Hebrew women would do.
The bracelet is a reminder to pray for this new baby and the family.
Traditionally, you cut the bracelet off after the baby arrives.

We discussed connection and womanhood.

I was the only single/childless woman present, and it was an honor to be include with this group of beautiful, Christ-following ladies.

We prayed over Jen.

Her tummy was decorated with Henna.

A special time of celebration, wonder, and anticipation.
