I’ve heard the questions and speculations for quite awhile now. That little red bracelet on my arm, what does it represent? This one has been on for over a year and I thought it was about time to share the full story.
I like to keep my accessories minimalistic. There is a time to shine and make a statement, but on the regular, I love simplicity and my every day jewelry to be loaded with meaning. This little red piece of yarn strongly knotted around my wrist is no different.
Many have thought I was wearing a Kabbalah bracelet, however this string has no Jewish ties for me. The red string has actually been worn in various religions from Hinduism to Christianity, my faith, for centuries. In my family, the tradition was started by my grandmother. For as far back as I can remember she has been buying red yarn and praying over it before passing along to the intended wearer. She blesses the yarn with good fortune, and the belief goes that when it falls off great things will happen. The practice has been passed and now my mother sends the bracelets to family and friends and anyone who wants the protection.
I love that it not only has a positive energy, but that it’s a daily reminder of my faith. Aden wears one as well and has since he was born. When each of ours falls off (whether the right or left wrist), a new one is sent to ward off any misfortune. With a healthy, loving husband and son, an incredible career, unbelievable friends and a baby on the way, I like to think the blessings and power of this thin red bracelet are working.

The Prayer Line which is what it’s called represents the Blood of Jesus! Grandma Clo which is Tamera’s grandma gets Red yarn anoints it with holy oil, prays over it, places it in her Bible for days, and then places it on your arm or leg. When she places it on you she prays for you and let’s you know that the red line represents Blood of Jesus! When our lines fall of it does not give us good fortune… We actually try to find ours or we hurry to get another because we want to be covered by the blood of Jesus! Now don’t get me wrong we are not saying that if we don’t have the prayer line on we are not covered but we are just saying that it is a reminder of why Jesus died for US!
These comments are too much. Some opinion turn into arguments. Why can someone state their own opinion without someone being judgmental. Tamera make a decision on how you feel and don’t worry about other people. In life alot of people going to find a problem. You do good they complain you do bad they complain. God don’t know what to do to please mankind. Smh, some people really need to stop trying to tell someone how to live their life. Ijs…

I find it interesting that all of you who claim to possess “the power of Jesus” “Faith in God” “Belief” and “Bible knowledge” is NOT showing ANY manifestation of Him in your comment! Remember…Jesus IS Love!!
The bracelet is no different from wearing a cross around your neck it’s just a symbolic statement of your faith so if she wants to pray over red string and wear it let her do so the power is in the prayer and the bracelet is a symbol and also tradition in HER family. Love it Tamera
