Sacred Hope-Sunday Wisdom

2 Comments / Sunday Wisdom / February 6, 2022

The main characters in each of today’s readings, Isaiah, Paul and Peter, all have a sacred encounter with the Lord. Praise God there is something captivating by His holy presence. When we truly encounter our Lord, something miraculous happens, Jesus cuts straight to our heart and offers us all sacred hope.

In the midst of our everyday, ordinary lives, we are a mixture of good and bad. Sometimes our faith is fervent and pure, other times, not so much. And sometimes in the midst of God’s holiness, we can only focus on our unworthiness, but the good news is that God is not going anywhere. Of course God’s holiness should stop us in our tracks and fill us with awe, but it can also bring us hope.

The Lord is always walking with us. He is always in our boat, even when we turn away from him or try to run from his love. He is always willing to cut straight to our heart and remove any doubt and/or fear. The real question is how will we respond to His love and mercy.

Will we respond with love, mercy and thanksgiving, or will we reject His sacred grace? We are all unworthy, but the good news is that when we stand before the Lord empty and little, with open and humble hearts, he can fill us with the grace of His love, mercy and sacred hope.

So don’t let your feelings of unworthiness keep you from Jesus. Go to him, empty and little. I promise you he will fill you and bless you with more goodness than you could ever imagine.

Winter Snow and Sunflowers-Favorite Things friday!

2 Comments / Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Thank You / February 4, 2022

Well it has been snowing here in St. Louis for the last two days. One of my favorite things is a fresh snow, shoveling, not so much. I think we accumulated at least 9 inches of snow yesterday and was out shoveling twice. Needless to say that was my exercise for the day. Today, I am hoping for sunny skies and although we are a long way off from sunflowers, we can always craft them right?

Today’s card begins with a Early Espresso card base and a little hope for sunshine. I added a piece of the Sale-a-bration DSP Afternoon Delight to the left side and dry embossed another piece of Early Espresso with the Hammered Metal Embossing Folder.

The flowers are colored with our Stampin’ Blends. The tag was created with the Double Oval punch and embellished with some linen thread. This stamp set, Jar of Flowers, is available in the 2021-2022 annual catalog. Happy Stamping!

Sweet Conversation-Happy Valentine’s Day!

1 Comment / Anniversary & Love-Weddings / February 2, 2022

Happy February! If you love Valentine’s Day, love and romance, you are going to love today’s card starring the Sweet Conversation Bundle that is part of the Sweet Talk Suite featured in the January- June 2022 mini catalog. Also, be sure to check out the end of this post on how you can win a pack of Pastel Pearls this month. Now that is SWEET!

Here is a closer look at some of the products in this suite.

For today’s card I used the Sweet Conversation Bundle and started with a Blushing Bride card base and created a panel of DSP by stamping the XO stamps from the bundle in blushing bride ink on the panel of white cardstock. The hearts are stamped in Mint Macaron, Blushing Bride and Highland Heather. I flagged the end of the greeting using my paper snips.

Just layer everything on the card front and add a few basic pearls and you have a perfect Valentine for your sweetheart! You can add this sweet to your stamping collection and take advantage of the FREE Sale-A-Bration products.

SWEET CHANCE host code drawing- February 2022! All month you can earn chances to win a pack of Pastel Pearls.

Sweet As A peach-Thank You!

Thank You / February 1, 2022

Today’s project features the Sweet as a Peach Bundle and the You’re A Peach Designer Series Paper in the 2021-2022 annual catalog.

I began with a Calypso Coral card base and two pieces of the You’re A Peach DSP that measures 3 x 4. I choose the floral and the polka dot. You will also need a few pieces of Basic White cardstock.

I stamped the peaches in Calypso Coral ink and cropped them with the coordinating dies from the bundle. I stamped the leaves with Pear Pizzazz ink directly to the white cardstock panel and then added the peaches. The greeting is stamped in Memento Black and all is layered on the card front.

I also added a strip of Designer Series Paper to the inside of the card. I had fun creating the layers for this card and hope you will too. Plus it was super easy and went together very quickly.

The greeting is from Blessings of Home. I am bumming because it is a little crooked. I knew I should have used the Stamparatus. Oh well, I guess it has that homemade look.

Real Love-Sunday Wisdom

Sunday Wisdom / January 30, 2022

In our world today success seems to be the primary goal. We set goal for ourselves and when we fail to attain them, wonder what is wrong with us. And yet we hear in today’s readings the only real goal is love. The questions we should be asking ourselves is how well do we love and are we loved by others?

After all loving and being loved is the only accomplishment we can take with us to our life in heaven. Sure working and being successful at our job is good, but love is the greater good. Good news we can do both!.

The Presence of God’s eternal love is something Mother Teresa knew well. Her example of ordinary and extraordinary acts of kindness changed the world. How can we be that light for others? How can our ordinary acts of kindness change the lives of those we will meet today?

To live in real love is to think of others first. It is to live in the present, not dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. Living in real love is not easy, but it is rewarding because love without sacrificing is empty love .However, in order to live in real love we have to love by God’s standard and not our own and that can be hard.

Jesus is our supreme example of how to continue to move forward in love despite opposition and rejection. Sure sometimes we fail to recognize Jesus in our lives, but He is there, always with us, always protecting us. Our lives are for but a moment, so take some time in prayer today and allow Jesus to rekindle your fire of love for others.
