A friend of mine asked if I could make a card for her brother, who needs some encouragement. She saw an earlier
card of mine with a sentiment she thought would be perfect.
So, here's take two with the same sentiment stamp...
I'm also playing along with
Stampin' Sisters in Christ's Challenge #67. How true that life is often filled with so many challenges. In the past week, I've heard sad news of friends' loved ones with cancer, passing away, etc. My father has been having not-so-good days too, and often when he has days like such, we will pray with him, encourage and reassure him that God cares for him. Despite his condition (Alzheimers) he finds this comforting. I'm also learning to understand him, and to seek for wisdom in caring for him. Even meal times can be trying, but I guess I'm learning to just love him as he is. There's always something
good in all the difficulties/challenges we face.
May you experience God's grace today. Thanks for visiting ;)

Love your card Kary, and thank you for your thoughts on caring for your father - they are precious, and an encouragement to me, although my circumstances vary to yours.
