Purify My Heart-Sunday Wisdom

Sunday Wisdom / August 29, 2021

Jesus continually calls us to act on His word, to be a doer and a healer. Today’s gospel is not a ticket to stop following the rules of our faith, but a call for a deeper understanding of what we believe. When we follow the rules only out of obligation and do not pay attention to what is going on in our hearts, we run the danger of becoming shallow.

If we are only going through the motions our hearts can become bitter and hardened. It is not enough to honor the Lord with our lips, we must respond to His word with love and compassion for everyone. Jesus asks us to look inward, to discover those things that are within us that may be distracting us from his love and mercy.

So today, let us ask the Lord to search our hearts and give us the grace of self-knowledge so we can love one other and build up the Kingdom of heaven here on earth.

Jesus, purify my heart today.

Until next time, be blessed, Renae

The Beauty of Trees

Christmas 2021, Masculine Cards / August 26, 2021

Today’s card features the trees from Evergreen Elegance and the Designer Series paper from Beauty of the Earth. I love how these trees can be used for a variety of cards, not to mention how calming a tree scenery can be.

You could easily change the sentiment to be Thinking of You, With Sympathy or even Happy Birthday for a more manly card.

Cutting Measurements

All Measurement=inches CS=Cardstock DSP=Designer Series Paper Landscape Position=Long side Portrait Position=short side

Supplies

Crumb Cake CS-5 ½ x 8 ½ (card)
Garden Green CS- 4 x 5 ¼
Early Espresso CS- 3 ¾ x 5
Garden Green Ink
Early Espresso Ink
Stampin’ Seal Adhesive

This was a super simple card with several layers of cardstock. I stamped the fatter evergreen tree in Garden Green ink and then stamped a second generation stamp without re-inking directly on the Beauty of the Earth DSP. The Merry Christmas from the Evergreen Elegance stamp set is stamped in Early Espresso Ink.

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