Yeah! It is Sunday again. I love weekends even though it is summer vacation for me, I still love weekends. Time with my hubby is always a plus and it means a new
challenge based on scripture at Stampin' Sisters in Christ!
It is my turn this week to be the challenge hostess this week and I chose the verse from Matthew 5:13. Be sure to read my devotion for this week over on SSIC!
The challenge this week is; make it sparkle!
Don't forget to stop by my SSIC design sisters (listed on the sidebar) to see what they have to share this week.
"You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its taste, with what can it be seasoned? It is no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and be trampled underfoot."
I have been blessed in my life with 2 precious friends. They have been special in my life for more than 40 years and the really neat thing is that we all share the same last name! (we married brothers) We share many things other than our last names and family ties. We share our faith with each other. One lives her faith as a Catholic and the other as a Protestant. One lives in Wisconsin (far away from me) and the other lives about 2 hours away. But none of that matters - they are "the salt of the earth" each in their own way and they make me a better person. I made two of these cards and will send out this week.
The challenge this week is; make it sparkle!

Wonderful devotional this morning Miesje. It is one of the first scriptures I memorized when I got saved. Beautiful card.
Hugs :)
Meisje - What a beautiful card(s). I'm guessing your 2 "sisters" will be the blessed recipients this week! Thanks for hosting this week!
Blessings,
Michelle
Beautiful card. I loved reading your devotion this morning. I too am on a salt restricted diet and sometimes just crave the salty foods,..pickles, cheese, chips... I wonder if the world is on a high blood pressure diet too and is craving that salt. It only takes a little salt to make a difference. I find myself with that momma bear mask a lot. Thanks for sharing your heart!
Oh, an amazing scripture and devotion prompt this morning, Miesje! Love your card...and the contrast of colors. Makes the focal point really pop! Your devotional was so thought provoking...I'm so sorry your son was the brunt of prejudice. But what an amazing sprinkling of God's grace he poured upon that neighbor. Blessings on your week...and your son too!
Miesje I so enjoyed your devotional today! Love your pretty card as well, and how special that you have two such special friends in your life to send these to! Hugs to you and blessings to your son too!!!
hugs,
Grace
