Anna – Ella it was you who first started this action with scarves, because you came to me, we talked, we met, you came to me and said – I have scarves for you. That was your thought.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Ela: I meant that I knew that you help other people, those who need help, care, love, support, listening, and it was such a time that these scarves could come in handy. I had some time, some skills, some yarn of some kind, and I started to make and brought it to you and said that you will definitely come up with something. Surely something will come out of this. Anyway, do you remember that you even said, it was in church, if I remember correctly, that, whoever can, to bring you the yarn for these scarves.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Ania: Well, yes, the yarn for the scarves. But later when I got those scarves I’m thinking, well, just like that, what now, a step further, what should I do with those scarves? And you say, I won’t go with you, but scarves I can make. I think to myself – Lord Jesus You will show me what I should do with these scarves.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Ela: Well, that’s exactly the point. Because I couldn’t go, I was organizing from the other side. I had time then I made scarves, I encouraged other people.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Ania: And you found, even more people.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Ela: Yes I found, a friend and her sister helped me. They made beautiful scarves, so professional, you could say. Because mine are such, I’m not saying that they were ugly, but….<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Ania: Well, you know what, but the principle was with these scarves, that you not only made the scarves, but you told me that you would pray for the people who would wear them, so they were not so much wonderful, beautiful, pretty scarves, but they were to be scarves for a special occasion, that is, for the right person at the right time in life.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Ela: That’s right. I’m laughing, because it’s a matter of taste and you don’t discuss it, but I agree they were for a special purpose and you, when I talked to you about these people and you also mentioned that after all we pray for them, well that’s how I sat down and thought about how to actually pray for these people, how to put it, and I came up with, well I probably didn’t come up with it\u2026<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Ania: Such a prayer came to you, found suddenly<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Ela: Yes a prayer came, Do you want to listen?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Ania: Sure<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Ela: God Heavenly Father through Jesus Christ Your Son I thank You for my home and family. I thank You that I have never been homeless and lonely like those for whom I make these scarves. Through Jesus Christ I ask you Father bestow upon them, wrap them through this scarf with Your love. Let the coldness that surrounds them and is within them depart from them. Father may their hearts see the light of Your Spirit that invites them to You. May Your glory be revealed and endure forever. Amen<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anne: Amen. Ella beautiful prayer, because I actually had these scarves when I was making an appointment with someone, someone called and was looking for help. Or, for example, we were going to a photographer, because there was always a need for a photo for an ID card, because most often every homeless person just doesn’t have an ID card, because they lost it somewhere. It was always at such a time that she would get a scarf and I would say that this scarf was from a special person who was praying for her. And I would take this scarf and wrap it around her. And that’s what I used to say – You are now being wrapped by the prayer of that person who made the scarf. It was such a special moment for me, too. This scarf I’ll tell you, they were given to homeless men who were on the street, they were given to people who were in a shelter, Women were also given this scarf. However, she was pregnant and did not know what to do and was indeed in a very difficult situation. She was given the scarf by her boyfriend. She got these scarves, admittedly, they were not homeless, but two priests who performed works of mercy for these people. Well one I know that he wore this scarf of yours, and the other I think for sure, rather I’m sure, it gave it to the needy, also I think that both scarves that these priests received also with this prayer were used and all these people and it touched me just that such a small scarf and there was joy extraordinary. Even some people wanted to have their pictures taken just in these scarves. They said – Oh this I have a scarf from you, and I answered – yes you have a scarf from me, but also from the person who wanted to do them and prayed for you. This is so unusual for me, that by doing such a small thing, something that everyone can do, you can so touch these people who were getting these scarves and it was extraordinary. Later, after the scarves, someone started making hearts, from paper wicker, and on crochet, someone started making bows, someone started eggs, someone started postcards, and this sort of string of people who wanted to do something, as their work for these people, maybe not directly for them, but just in the way that you are with them, it expanded, and it started with these scarves. It started with those scarves of yours.  Anyway, I got your scarf myself. In the end I said- well, make me one, I’ll also ask for such an prayed-over scarf. It was beautiful, because even a year ago in January 2021, well I just got such a scarf from you with such colorful tassels.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Ela: Well I remember I made a scarf with such tassels before and you liked it very much, it was supposed to be a gift for some woman<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Ania: Yes, for that pregnant woman. A young pregnant girl,<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Ela: And then you wanted it and I made it for you, but as you say it wasn’t that long ago.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Ania: A year ago<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Ela: And with this scarf there is just such a story connected, because when I was making scarves for other people it was difficult for me to imagine this person, so I chose colors according to my own choice, my own idea, etc. And when I was making you well I thought that the colors must be so much more vivid, bright, because you are so cheerful, full of ideas, and in general you go into action when necessary and try to embrace everything, organize.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Ania: And where did these colors come from for you?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Ela: Well these colors. I mean I just thought to myself that it could be – I’ll read what I wrote to you – I started making a scarf for Ania. She is colorful, so I chose vibrant colors. At some point I realized that I didn’t actually ask what colors you like. I took red, yellow and emerald with some pastel colors. I began to wonder if they fit Ani and whether to change to others. And then I heard, well yes you can say, it wasn’t my thought, because I didn’t ponder it for unknown how long, that Ania is like fire and water. Fire when she rushes to save someone. water gentle when she listens and comforts. They stayed, so the colors I chose. Red and yellow are the shade, and emerald is the beautiful, calm sea. I wondered whether to tell her about it, but after all, it was for her. I wouldn’t have thought of it myself. There are unexpected things in our lives, and only the Holy Spirit knows everything and works to make God’s will come true. And a smile.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Ania: Ella, that’s how it was. I’ll tell you with such joy I walk with this scarf, in different places I put it on. Well recently even in the orphanage I was in this scarf, well in different places, well soon I will probably start walking in the summer in this scarf. It’s going to be very funny with these tassels that you made me somewhere I’m waving for everyone’s enjoyment and actually someone would say, what are we talking about here and what kind of testimony are we giving to scarves here. Because it may seem trivial or ridiculous to someone, and yet! And yet, when, as I can tell you, seeing the faces of those people who received those scarves that I handed over to them from you, your scarves with these words, with this prayer, I saw that for them this moment was very important, and just as I myself was happy with my scarf really, because actually every day this scarf is with me, because I have it on my chair. So for those people that moment when they received it, I don’t know what happened later with those scarves and with all the people who received them, but in that moment when they received and with those words, it was such a moment for them to be wrapped in your prayer, seriously. I always remember that moment when I gave them this scarf often after a photograph or some special moment. For me it was an extraordinary joy to see in their eyes also such joy that they have such a scarf, which is impossible to buy. Well, you can’t buy anywhere a scarf with a prayer on it for such a person for such sadness, for such joy. That can’t be bought anywhere, made from leftover wools, a scarf made up somewhere, well that can’t be bought. There are things that cannot be bought. This is also intercessory prayer, this presence, such joy, even if it lasts this moment, needed for now, when it happens.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Ela: Well, yes, but you know, that moment in the case of some people was the beginning of a new life.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Ania: Well, that’s right, and at that moment they were wrapped in that prayer like this scarf, so tangibly, because someone is saying 'I’m praying, I’m praying for you’. Well, but they got such a scarf with such a message, a scarf with a message. And that, Elu, is wonderful. God be glorified that He came up with these scarves for you, although at first I really didn’t know what to do with them, although I had a similar thought myself, but the realization later came on its own, and you were also an inspiration to other people who started to do something with just such an intention. I can’t go to evangelize directly, I can’t go out there, I can’t do it, but I can well do just such a beautiful thing. May Jesus be glorified in you, your family, your children, and in all those who wore these scarves,<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Ela: And in you, and in all those who minister in your Work<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Anna: In all of them, Ela, who after you also made these hearts, bows, and all these different kinds of work you could say handmade, and it started with a ball of wool.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Ela: And the most important thing is that they felt the love of God. Did they?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Ania: Yes<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Ela: And it’s just wonderful, because this God’s Love revives, guides, gives encouragement, is irreplaceable<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Ania; And this love was knitted. Amen. You know, Ella, and these people actually, in general they needed a scarf, because I gave them when it was cold, so I could buy one, such an ordinary scarf, or I could give from this suitcase of scarves making for you. And when you have to choose, I know that the other scarf is better, because it’s from the heart, because it’s from the heart.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Ela: Well, yes, because they were specially made for those very people. And my friend and her sister who helped me also knew what the purpose of these scarves was. Not that they made ot scarves and gave them, they just knew who you were helping, who you were going to, and who these scarves would wrap around and give warmth to.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Ania: And so may it continue Hallelujah and keep knitting for the glory of God.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Ela: Yes for the glory of God, that’s right.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
