Happy Spring Flowers of Friendship!

4 Comments / Thank You / May 6, 2021

Spring if finally here and it has been very rainy in St. Louis. You know what they say, April showers bring May flowers.

For me becoming a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator was a great decision because I have made so many new friends. If not for my love of stamping and crafting I may never have met these wonderful ladies.

I am very blessed indeed. And because our world has become so virtual, I know have stamping friends across the United States and beyond! Today’s card celebrates spring flowers and friendship. Enjoy! Feel free to leave me a comment.

I Am The True Vine-Sunday Wisdom

2 Comments / Sunday Wisdom / May 2, 2021

I don’t know about you, but I do not have much of a green thumb. I love crafting and making cards is therapy for me, but a master gardener I am not. I like flowers and gardening and although I am not great at it, I do know that in order for anything to bear fruit, the branches must be pruned.

This is also true with our spiritual lives. We must be pruned to bear great fruit. Jesus said, “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. ~John 15:5

Pruning can be difficult and we don’t always understand suffering, but the one who created us does and works all things for our good. All we need to do is trust. We can receive strength and life from Jesus because He blesses our efforts and makes us fruitful, but we need to stay connected to Him. We cannot do it alone.

So let us attach ourselves firmly to Jesus through prayer, prune anything that separates us from God and let go of whatever is blocking us from connecting to Jesus, the true vine. Then we will receive life more abundantly.
