Today Patti is the challenge hostess and the scripture she chose is from the book of Ephesians 4:29.
Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.
Everything that I say should be nice and good. Not easy to do for most of us. But so very important especially this time of year. The kids are trying to be on their best behavior (Santa is coming) the parents are a little more stressed than usual and even those of us who are not raising children yet or anymore are a little more on edge. We make our lives busier with social engagements and shopping and a list of things that have to be done. Now is when we should be trying to be good and helpful - I tell the younger students at school "Use your nice words". Maybe we need that reminder too.
So the challenge this week is to create a card or project that will compliment, encourage, or cheer someone in need of uplifting. Like the little girl who needs a tree to decorate. :-)

Good morning Miesje;
I love this! This is adorable and love the pink flowers with the heart buttons, how cute..
See...this card sure encouraged me..:) Get some rest.
I think you totally rocked this challenge! How much fun, reading your story this morning!!! lol...thanks for being such a sweetie. Your card is so adorable, how could it NOT be uplifting to someone??? You rock!
She is totally adorable! Thanks for playing along with SSD!
I think you did pretty well working your way out of that tangle. And you are so right about using our 'nice' words. Why is that so much harder than just letting emotions fly off the tongue? Cute image and very nice card.
Just a darling card and I think decking the halls will be just fine. I love that you tell your students to 'use their nice words'.
Very good lesson.
Oh gorgeous card it so cute.
Thanks for joining us at Simon Says Stamps Challenge.
luv
