It is our wonderful Patti's turn for the scripture and challenge choice. She chose Hebrews 13:5 - wonderful choice Patti - a great reminder to all of us.
"Keep your lives free from the love of money, and be satisfied with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you." - NIV
I believe that we, as a generation, are very much into having the best and the newest. I too fall to that. We (Stampin Sisters in Christ Design Team) recently had a discussion about that. How do we decide how many new stamps, new DP, new embellishments, and now the fabulous new nestabilities do we need? All of you fellow stampers know that dilemma! And I have to be honest - I am very guilty of wanting more! I think the difference is that if our budget would not allow it I would not be buying it. These days too many people have gotten themselves into financial difficulties with bigger houses, nicer cars, fantastic vacations etc. My DH and I know that God has never left us nor forsaken us. We always seemed to have just enough money to pay for one more adoption, one more child in Catholic school, food on the table and a house that kept us safe.Trusting in God is the ultimate challenge!
The challenge this week is to create a KISS (keep it simple sisters) card or project - a one layer card.
