Easter Inspirations

As soon as the sun came up this morning I knew it was going to be a magnificent day!  The sun is shining, it's a bright Spring day, birds are flying around singing their songs, the trees are budding, the grass is green, and I look out on my doorstep towards the East and I can see fields and fields of crops that are getting ready to grow.  A few puffy lazy clouds in the sky help to complete the perfect Spring picture. 


These cards were made with Easter in mind, but they would work through out the year.  The Easter sentiment on the teal one would need to be changed, of course, but they would still work.

The Power of Prayer

The Power of Prayer 

Good morning! The power of prayer can be an amazing thing! My father-in-law was taken into the hospital for a collapsed lung. He has OCPD (lung condition where patient has problems breathing). It seems a hole formed in his lung and all the air he was breathing was escaping out of that lung & filling his chest cavity with air. They put a hose through his ribs to suck out the air. At the very least, they were expecting to pull the hose by no earlier than this Friday. Well, they did a cat scan and it revealed the hole is just about all healed and they are going to take the tube out by today as it should be all the way healed. That's 4 days sooner than they had anticipated!!!

When we got the news about Dad, I quickly turned to those I love and care for and asked for their prayers. I asked God to make my dad comfortable and to help my mom, mother-in-law feel un alone and unafraid during this trying time.

Well obviously there were a lot of prayers because both my Mother-in-Law and Father-in-Law are doing just fine!

I am dedicating these cards to the power of prayer and I hope who-ever ends up with them will experience the same kind of blessings, serenity, and comfort that I felt when I was making them!

Have a beautiful day!
