Crochet Prayer Cloth {X''s & O''x}

What better way to honor our Lord then to create a Prayer cloth with His love & Prayers to remind us always of the ultimate Love He gave for us.
I�ve created this Prayer cloth with the Cross filled with X�s & O�s {Universal sign for Hugs & Kisses} and am pleased to share this with you.

Prayer Cloths are Scriptural, {Acts 19:12} �Some people took handkerchiefs and clothes that Paul had used and put them on the sick. When they did this, the sick were healed and evil spirits left them.� (NCV) {I like the NIV & KJV as well}
