With the celebration of the birth of our Lord Jesus it is time to reflect on the path we are on in our lives. For some the journey is only begun. For others it is half over or possibly in the twilight of life. The future is never known or guaranteed. My dear wife shared with me that the word for this year for her is "hope". (Rom 8:24-25, 15:13) It is where we all start not only in our physical endeavors but, most importantly, our spiritual endeavors as well. In most cases hope does not hold any promises but for those in Christ there are assurances. As long as our faith and beliefs are centered on Christ we are promised a place is prepared for us in heaven. (John 14:2-3) It is not ours to say who is or is not among those who will be called. It is our place to be sure we are the ones being seen as belonging to Christ. How we are seen may be the difference with someone who has been turned off by those pretending to be Christians that have appointed themselves as judges over others. Jesus was our example of how to conduct ourselves. Yes will be pain and trials in doing so at times. Yes you may even be persecuted for it. It is what Jesus said it would be for Him but it could very well happen to us. (Matthew 20:28)(Mark 9:12 & 9:31)
Today I would like to share 2 cards I made for two very special people. The first one was sent to Darnell. The second was sent to Em. They were both done slightly different one from another. The image was a die cut from Hunkydory Moonstone Die Set "Peace on Earth". I considered doing both as a clear window but didn't have the required clear plastic. Maybe a later project. First Darnell's Card.
