Just Because Cards

Happy Wednesday. I hope you are ready for part two of our four part quilting series. I am having so much fun using up some of my beloved paper scraps. I know you will love these creations. It is such an easy way to turn our scraps into something beautiful. Download a free project sheet at the end of this post, but do remember, your cards will all turn out differently depending on your scrap bin. Have fun.

Challenge

Gather your favorite patterned paper scraps and cut them into 1 x 2″ strips. You will need between 13-14 strips to create each card. Gotta love the variety but they are all beautiful. Let me know how your turns out.

I think most Christians would agree that today’s gospel is a familiar one and yet it is so powerful.

Did you know today’s reading is the only miracle recorded in all four gospels? The narratives might be a bit different but they all ultimately recorded the same miracle. I think one of the important underlying messages is to that we don’t need to go away. When things become difficult, we too can stay. We too, can remain faithful. We don’t have to wait until we have it all figured out or until our life is neatly in order to run to Jesus because He is always waiting.

I think it is important to note that Jesus was filled with grief with the news of the death of John the Baptist and He while he just wanted to go away and be alone, He didn’t. He stayed and perhaps He even found comfort in doing what He was born to do.  

In this way, Jesus honored John the Baptist. Moved with pity Jesus remained in the present moment curing the sick and then feeding the crowd. He acted with compassion and offered hospitality to the crowd seeking Him. He will do the same for us. Oh I know the devil wants us to doubt, but we need to resist those lies and just stay.

Jesus did not abandon the crowd and He will never abandon us. He is never too busy to listen, all we have to do is turn to Him in trustful prayer and continue His legacy by caring for one another.
