IF EVERYTHING WERE A PERFECT WORLD THAT WOULD BE GREAT. I BELONG TO A SMALL CONGREGATION(12 WOMEN) THAT HAS NO CLUE HOW TO MAKE A PRAYER SHAWL. THE IDEA BEHIND THE SHAWL IS NOT PERFECTION, BUT THE THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ALONE. WHEN SOMEONE IS IN NEED AND YOU GIVE THEM A SYMBOL THAT YOU LOVE THEM AND ARE PRAYING FOR THEM PERFECTION BECOME THE LAST THING ON THEIR MINDS. YOURS IS A GOOD THOUGHT AND I AGREE BUT JUST NOT IN THIS INSTANCE. MAKING THE SHAWLS WITH THESE LADIES WILL DO TWO THINGS. THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS FOR THE PERSON IN NEED AND GOOD FELLOWSHIP AND GROWING LOVE OF ONE ANOTHER.

Aren't these two ideas at odds with each other? It doesn't sound exactly like "When you care enough to send the best."
