The Mercy of Our Lord is For All!

Sunday Wisdom /

Today’s gospel is all about forgiveness and mercy. “Should you not have pity on your fellow servant, as I the Lord had pity on you?” (Matthew 18:33)
Our dear friend Peter started it all with a very simple question, Lord how many times must I forgive? Jesus then shared a parable and we hear of a King who was moved with compassion because one of his servants begged for more time to pay off his debt. The problem was the man who was forgiven refused to forgive and show mercy to his fellow man, which is exactly the kind of mercy our Lord calls us to. We are called to show mercy, compassion, forgiveness and gratitude.

If only the servant whose debt was forgiven had been grateful enough to practice the same kindness he would not have been handed over to be tortured and pay his debt in full. Unfortunately we can often be like this very servant, failing to be grateful for the mercy and compassion shown to us.

Today, let us imitate Jesus and not only forgive others when they hurt us but show them compassion in giving them a second chance. God forgives us again and again and He never holds our sins against us but instead wipes our soul clean. Let us ask our Heavenly Father to strengthen us in showing mercy towards others.

Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Medley Mix-Favorite Things Friday!

Favorite Things Friday, Just Because Cards /

Well, I am continuing my week of tribute to my fellow crafty demonstrators with two cards created with the Medley Mix Bundle featured on page 57 in the Holiday Mini catalog. My cards today are brought to you by Sally Nusbaum and Julie Weber. Thanks girls for sharing your talents with us.

Medley Mix Bundle

Sally used Moody Mauve ink and a Blending Brush with one of our decorative masks to create a fun background. We used the punch to crop the star from the Moody Mauve and Very Vanilla before adding these layers to the card. It is a great way to minimize your cardstock waste.

Julie used Very Vanilla and Pretty Peacock to add a bit of texture to her card. I believe she used the Glorious Gingham 6 x 6 Designer paper to punch out the X’s. I hope you have fun creating with all of these card ideas.

Friends and Christmas Inspiration!

Christmas 2023 /

Nothing says Christmas like a hand-stamped card, especially if that card was designed by a friend. Today I am sharing three more cards from my Shoebox swap and yes, they were all designed to get you in the Christmas spirit. If you are like me, that won’t take much, but I do so enjoy decorating for fall, Halloween, and Thanksgiving too!

My first card was created by Marilyn Jones and she used the new Night Divine stamp set and the Stars at Night Dies pictured on page 16 and 17 in the Holiday mini catalog. Thanks Marilyn for sharing your talent.

Night Divine and Stars at Night

Our second Christmas inspirations comes to you from Ornetta Williams. Ornetta used the new Merriest Tress Bundle featured on page 12 in the Holiday mini catalog. Thanks Ornetta!

Merriest Trees Bundle

Finally our last card was created by Cheryl Gerloff and she used the Joy of Noel Bundle found on page 29 in the Holiday mini. Thanks ladies for sharing your projects with us. I do hope these cards inspire you to create something beautiful for the holidays.
