Nine years ago, my spouse and his father made a prayer loom for our Maundy Thursday dinner and worship (for more on that experience, see this blog post). That summer, I used it for Vacation Bible School (this blog post tells about it and gives pictures). Eventually, we moved the prayer loom to the back of the church sanctuary. I liked seeing it and occasionally someone returning from communion might touch it, but I imagined it had been thrown away by now.
This morning, I woke to the happy news that the prayer loom has found a new life. One of my friends at my Florida church used it for a class project and posted pictures on Facebook, along with a shout out to me. Here's the picture:
I look at it and can see parts of the original, still there. It reminds me of how our prayers build on each other, weaving a web, weaving a net, keeping us from falling into the abyss.
