Unhappy PLEASE HELP...serious question!

I am 54 years old. I should KNOW the answer to this- but I don't. Here's the story:

Having recently moved, I was cleaning tonight, and came across a 'Prayer Cloth' that my daughter had mailed to me last year, when she was concerned because I no longer attend a UPCI church. (she did, at the time, she now attends a real conservative church) Now, I don't want to open up a discussion about the right/wrong of Prayer Cloths...BUT, I started to toss it in the trash, and was immediately concerned about tossing it out like last week's leftovers. This emotion took me by surprise, and led to THIS post. I need to know what to do with this cloth??? Would it be irreverant of me to toss it out? Should I just put it in my Bible and keep it? Store in a drawer? And the biggest question of all- in MY opinion- WHY AM I FEELING EMOTIONAL OVER AN OLD WHITE PIECE OF CLOTH??

Thanks, everyone who responds...I'm obviously being menopausal. Right??

I'm am not big on the prayer cloth doctrine. But God, individually just may use such to accomplish His will. I would pray about it, and place it in that drawer. God may be calling some good things of the past to your remembrance.

I am a firm believer in the Old Paths

Re: PLEASE HELP...serious question!

I have an "annointed dollar." A former pastor had us all bring a dollar up for agreeement in prayer that everyone in the church would have our finanaces blessed. I've had this dollar for over 20 years and can not bring myself to spend it .
I keep in in my underwear drawer, it doesn't take up much space really . . . a sentimental prayer cloth would not either.

Everything that I value in life is in my underwear drawer! Wonder why we DO that??!! And, you are correct- one little piece of cloth doesn't take up THAT much room....Thanks!
