Just Because Cards

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.

A Closer look at today’s cards

On the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me, Two Tatoos and a purple parrot in a palm tree. Too bad my cards don’t match the words of this song, although I am pretty sure you get get a tatoo of anything these days! LOL I think I would pick the baby lamb. Have a great week. Join me next week for Day #3 and #4 for some snowflake fun. Until then, Happy Stamping!

Hey all, happy Monday. Today I am excited to share a few cards that I received from an Inking Royal card swap. Thanks to my upline, Brian King for organizing. Thanks to the many talented team members who participated in this swap. The cards I received this time did not include the stamp set used or instructions on how to create, so hopefully you can figure that out if you are wanting to reproduce some of these gems.

So let’s take a look:

I hope you enjoyed these beautiful cards. Happy Stamping!
