My cousin had a horrible pregancy complication that required early delivery, and has kept her in the hospital for months. She’s had two liver transplants and now faces months and months of physical therapy. Fortunately, there has been no brain damage, but she has a very long and wearisome recovery ahead of her.
Her mother is reading devotionals to her, to help comfort her and help her deal with the difficulties she is currently facing. I’m not a religious person, so I’m unfamiliar with devotions and am not entirely sure what they are, but I’d like to do a needlepoint pillow or framed picture with something short and inspiring to help give her strength and courage while she recovers over the next several months. Obviously, I won’t be doing anything really long, because of the time it will take and the space allowed. I suppose a short inspirational bible verse would work too.
Any suggestions?
Tigris, I appreciate the suggestions, but I should have mentioned that she is in Florida, and I’m in Iowa. I was just thinking of something I could send to her in the hosptial there. Her immediate family is there to help with everything else.

are you sure your cousin would appreciate the gift? My mother would be much happier with a stack of cross-words to while away the boring time. I’d be much happier if you would offer me to bring me books from the library once a week which I couldn’t get myself. Offering to run errands for her or baby sit or clean house may also be more what she needs.
Sorry, but I am a bit more practical inclined. Even an ice cream delivery may be welcome. If she is in hospital, their food is usually not great…
