Brrr... It was unusually cool this weekend here in sunny Florida - I loved it! Thanks for joining us at Stampin' Sisters in Christ for another challenge based on scripture!
This week sweet Traci is our hostess and the verse she chose is from 1 Thessalonians 5:18. Be sure to stop by our home page to read her devotion.
Giving thanks, do we remember to give thanks for everything? Yes, even the storms that pass through our lives. Some are small little rain showers that slow us down a bit, and others are hurricanes or blizzards that can throw us into a tailspin. We do still give thanks, for it is the storms that make us stronger and help us to cling to our God even more! So, thank you Father for the ups and downs and for standing with me through them all!"Give thanks in all circumstances for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."
The challenge this week is to create a card or project that depicts gratitude...it can be an image of something you are grateful for, a scripture that evokes your gratitude, or it can be a card made especially for a person you would like to thank this time of year. I love this image from TCM, she is really holding spring flowers - but with the magic of fall colored Flower Soft it became a fall arrangement. Perfect for a fall thank you card.
Our sponsor this week is Simon Says Stamps with an adorable stamp set.
