The Lord Hears the Cry of the Poor ~ Sunday Wisdom

1 Comment / Sunday Wisdom /

Today’s gospel is a story about wealth and how unimportant it is to God. Remember, you can’t take it with you!

God calls us to care for those less fortunate than us and we are to be caregivers to those whom God puts in our path. We are all called to see in each other the face of God.  This same God, who has given us everything, only asks us to share with others, and to be concerned for those who have nothing. When we do this we not only live more simply, but we walk humbly with God.

Not only did Lazarus live near the door of the rich man, the rich man know Lazarus’ name but did nothing to help him. Are we guilty of looking the other way when we come upon someone in need, perhaps someone who is homeless, or begging at an intersection?

When we enter the next life, we will be judged by not only our words, but our actions. I encourage you to at least pray for those you see begging at the side of the road. Everything we have is a blessing from God. Without Him we can do nothing and without Him we would have nothing.

The good things we have been given in life are callings or opportunities to be a blessing to others.  When we share with other what God has given us, we become an instrument of His love. When the Lord calls us home, let us stand before Him with honor knowing that we helped the least of our brethren.

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

Hand-Sanitizer Gift Pouch-Weekly Wed. #67

Christmas 2025, Designer Series Paper, Weekly Wednesday Videos /

Happy Wednesday all. I am in the midst of preparing for a craft fair this weekend and I thought I would share with you a fun project that I created to gift a small hand-sanitizer from Bath and Body. This project is super quick and does not require a lot of supplies. You can make a gift pouch with just two small pieces of either cardstock or designer series paper. Check out the video for three different versions of the same gift pouch.

Project Supplies

  • 2 x 10″ strip of cardstock or designer series paper
  • 2 x 5-1/2 piece of cardstock or designer series paper
  • Tag Topper Punch, ribbon of choice for closure
  • Optional: 1-7/8″ x 3-3/4 (2) strip of cardstock for support (see video for details)

This really is a super simple project and will make great holiday stocking stuffers or a small gift for your co-workers. If you don’t want to gift hand-sanitizers, I am sure you can find a fun size candy bar to fit into this pouch. I hope you give it a try. Happy Stamping!

For God So Loved The World ~Sunday Wisdom

1 Comment / Sunday Wisdom /

“And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life. For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life…” – John 3:14-15

God is a giver. He made the ultimate sacrifice for you and for me. His love and mercy is for everyone. Loving the world through Jesus’ name is where true life and true love begins. Notice how our hearts are more open to Jesus when we experience love. Well, Jesus has the love that surpasses all understanding. His love is stronger than death. God did not come into the world to save a few, He came to save all of us, regardless of our race, our status in life, or the gifts we have. He loves us despite of what we have done right or wrong. He came to save us and give us eternal life because He loves us.

God is a giver and by His grace, we can become givers too!

Heavenly Father, we thank you today for your unconditional love. Help us to live that love, speaking the truth, and always giving the glory to Your name. ~Amen

Merry Christmas ~Five Minute Friday

Christmas 2025, Five Minute Cards /

Happy Friday all…..I know it is not even Halloween yet, but I can’t help myself. This new Merry Christmas stamp is so great. It will allow you to create quick and easy Christmas cards. I am pairing this greeting with a pack of our new holiday designer series paper, Elegant Pine Snowflakes-Item #166066.

Today’s card did not even take 5 minutes. I know, right! I began with an Early Espresso card base and added a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of the Elegant Pine Snowflake DSP. I stamped the Merry Christmas on a 2-3/8 x 4-1/8 piece of Basic White. I added a 2-1/2 x 4-1/4 piece of Early Espresso. I added a strip 1/2 x 4-1/8 piece of Shaded Spruce the top and to the bottom of the greeting.

I hope you enjoyed today’s holiday card. It is never too early to start designing your Christmas cards! Have a blessed week and Happy Stamping!
