Happy Mother's Day!

 

This is a free card from Little Birdie Blessings.

I think it is so pretty.

I am very grateful for my mother.

She is a woman who fears God.

 She has taught me much in so many ways.

 She is devoted to God,

 her husband,

and her family.

This picture of  Mom and I was taken a "few" years ago.

 

Have a very blessed Mother's Day!

 

 

Easter Blessings!

I pray that you all have a most blessed Easter weekend.

 

I will always be so grateful for the price that was paid for my sin

by my precious Saviour Jesus Christ.

 

I have the awesome honour to share a devotional weekly with ladies in a residential treatment program for addictions.

I've been making postcards of the devotional shared.

 

I wanted to share with you the postcard for this week's devotional.

I use postcard (4 per page)cardstock from staples that are pre-perforated from Staples.

I love the words to this song.

I printed this on the back of the postcard.

I remember when I first heard the words,

I was so touched by them, "why did they nail His feet and hands,

His love would have held Him there".

 

Jesus suffered first emotionally, then physically, mentally, and spiritually.

For me, for you.

 

There is nothing that you go through that Jesus does not understand.

He died and rose again to set you free.

I pray that you have a deeper revelation of the love of God for you

this Easter weekend.

Here is the song sung by Michael Card.

Be Blessed

  

A Touch of Hymn

 

One of the many things that I enjoy doing

 is transforming an object from one state to another.

Kinda like when God gets a hold of us (or we let Him!)

We are transformed from glory to glory. 

 I guess it's in the genes!

 

 

So when I'm "thrifting",

 I'm always looking at something to see if there is a use or a potential for use.

When I saw this "candle box", I saw potential.

I just needed some paint, some modge podge, and some pages from an old hymnal.
(I get my Modge Podge from Michaels)

I painted the box black.

 I like to have pieces of black in my home

 because it stands out and also helps to show up everything else.
I  purchased some old hymn books last summer for 25 cents each.
You can read that post here.
I ripped a few pages out and pre-arranged how I was going to display them.
I applied a coat of modge podge first and then put the first sheet down. I covered that with modge podge and applied the next sheet and so on and then gave the finished look  a few more coats.

This is what I put in the box and it doesn't look too bad.
But it's a candle box right?
And how pretty would the words of the hymn look
with the glow of candle light!

Still have the fake snow in the jar. Looks good with the black.

I chose the words to this hymn to remind me
 of the price that was paid for my salvation.

A little touch of purple for spring?

It doesn't take much time or money to create a unique piece.

Once I start I want to keep going. So I did.

But that is for another day to share.

Have a wonderful weekend!

 

Blessings,
