This story is about a scarf that was bought by a woman as a gift for her mother. The name of the scarf is Life. The colors in the scarf are white representing victory, emerald green representing healing, spring green representing flourishing, and yellow representing joy.

The verses that went with the scarf are from Psalms 92:12-15:

12The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

13Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.

14They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;

15To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

The daughter shared the story in her own words.

My mother is in a very difficult time in her life with health, marriage, and financial issues. While visiting me, she asked me in frustration and discouragement, "Will I ever have a life?"

We proceeded to talk about having a life. The next day, mom received the scarf that I had ordered for her a few weeks before as a gift. The only instructions I gave on the scarf were the size of the scarf and "let God lead you" regarding the style and colors. Meg knew nothing about my mother or her life, but God did.

When mom opened the scarf, she was in awe. She had received a word straight from Heaven through the scarf.

The scarf was named “Life” and addressed the questioning of her heart. It reminded her of God’s great love for her. Through the scarf, it was as if God had given her back her life.

She cherishes the scarf and plans to frame the scriptures as a reminder of God’s love for her.

The daughter also shared about her mother's love of flowers, but she suffers from such strong allergies she can't be around them (I even had to anoint the scarf with straight olive oil - nothing scented). When she saw the scarf she felt like Jesus was bringing her a bouquet of flowers that she could enjoy.

The Lord loves the details and to whisper sweet nothings to us... He knows right where to get us at that will tickle us the most... He is so good!
