The scripture verse this week was chosen by Chris. I do think that it is one that all of us have heard more than once, and that we can all relate to!
Ecclesiastes 3:1 "To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven."
Last night my husband and I were sitting out on the porch watching a baseball (TB RAYS) game and talking about life in general. He mentioned that we were in the Autumn of our life. All of our children are on their own and it us just us. We enjoyed our years of raising our 8 children, the toddler years, the busy years of running them everywhere, the worrisome teenage years (kind of), we really liked every "season". I do believe that we remember them all fondly because we never were alone - God was with us through every one of those seasons and is here with us now and when we get to the winter of our life - He will still be with us. There is a season for everything and those seasons have a purpose. I love the saying on my card from Mother Theresa - Yesterday (spring and summer) is gone, tomorrow (winter) has not yet come, we only have today (autumn), let us begin!
Chris asked us to use fall colors (green, yellow, melon mambo, red, orange, brown) or leaves on our creation. This challenge is being sponsored by Our Daily Bread Designs! - they have one of the best selection of Christian images and verses, in fact my card was made with one of them, so be sure to stop over.

This is gorgeous Miesje, love the colors and beautiful design paper.
I can't help it but always think of the Movie Footloose when I hear or read that verse LOL, your card is beautiful!!
This is so beautiful Meisje, your words on the verse and your card. Stunning sentiment to match todays verse and so appropriate. Your card is exquisite with the shading around the verse, the colors, the ribbon and leaves and the beautiful layout. Have a great Sunday!

Miesje I just love the sentiment you chose to use today with the fall colors... and your thoughts on the seasons of our lives. You are so right... just because the hair grows white, or the branches become bare, doesn't mean there isn't something to do today! Thanks for the reminder! Have a wonderful week!
Hugs,
Grace
