Inspirational Sunday Post

For today's Inspirational Sunday Post I'm sharing a card created by Julia Bettencourt who does a lot of women's ministry.  I thought this card was too cute not to share!  This would actually make a really cute mini notice board to put on your fridge or other place you like to post scripture memory verses you are working on. 

This card uses the Tart & Tangy stamp set which is very appropriate for scripture memory projects.  It makes you think of the Fruits of the Spirit!

When making scripture memory projects, make them pretty to look at.  You will look at them more often, enjoy looking at them, and be inspired to make scripture memory a greater part of your life.  Strengthen your life by hiding God's word in your heart 

By your words I can see where I'm going; they throw a beam of light on my dark path. I've committed myself and I'll never turn back from living by your righteous order. Everything's falling apart on me, GOD; put me together again with your Word. Festoon me with your finest sayings, GOD; teach me your holy rules. My life is as close as my own hands, but I don't forget what you have revealed. The wicked do their best to throw me off track, but I don't swerve an inch from your course. I inherited your book on living; it's mine forever-- what a gift! And how happy it makes me!
(Psa 119:105-111 MSG)

Possibilities

For today's Inspirational Sunday Post, I'm sharing an inspirational card we made in my card clubs this week.  I love several things about this card.  I love the sunshiny Daffodil Delight color, so aptly named.  I love the Greenhouse Gala Designer Series Paper, featured here front and center in all its lovely boldness.  And I love the greeting, "Imagine the Possibilities" from the new stamp set Wordplay.  It's a bold statement that is perfectly underscored with bold colors and bold designs in this card.

Jesus makes a very bold statement in the book of Luke in the New Testament.  I'll give it here in several versions (translations):

But he said, Things which are not possible with man are possible with God.
(Luke 18:27 BBE)
And He said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
(Luke 18:27 MKJV)
Jesus answered, "What is humanly impossible is possible for God."
(Luke 18:27 GNB)
Jesus replied, "There are some things that people cannot do, but God can do anything."
(Luke 18:27 CEV)



Anyway you look at this verse, in whichever translation, the meaning is unmistakable.  With God, all things are possible!  So go ahead.  Meditate on the words of Jesus today.  Think about them.  Ponder them.  And do what the above card boldly encourages, "Imagine the possibilities!"

For my inspirational post today, I'm sharing a children's version of my Beatitudes bookmark.  These are simple to make but so cute and so special.  You can tell this was not made by a factory.  It was made by my hands, warmed by my heart.  You can make these, too.  They are quick and easy.  The Beatitudes bookmark would make a great little gift for a Sunday School class, AWANA group, or other children's group.  If you would like the file for the Beatitudes bookmark (they are already formatted for a bookmark, 6 to a page), simply email me at candy@sweetstamper.com, and I will be happy to send that to you.  Here I have used Cameo Coral and Glorious Green, two of our retiring colors, that make a bright combination for children's projects.

Help the children in your life to hide God's word in their hearts by giving them a bookmark with God's word.  This little bunny will hop into a book to keep a child's place while giving him/her a chunk of scripture at the same time.  For a more mature version of this same bookmark, click here.  It was in my May 30th post.  Scripture is good for us at any age!

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
(1Th 5:18 KJV)
People often wonder what the will of God is for their lives.  One thing is very plain, simple, and spelled out in black and white.  Give thanks!  This is not just a holiday exercise in the fall of each year.  This is to be a way of life!  Give a card like this to encourage someone in your life to give thanks.  And then thank the person you are giving the card to for being a blessing in your life.  Giving thanks to God and giving thanks to others:  a winning combination!

This inspirational post is a weekly feature, posting each Sunday.  It highlights inspirational cards and projects and seeks to bring a little inspiration to you and your world.

Today's inspirational share is a Prayer Journal I made. This journal is in the prayer room at our church and is used for a specific ladies prayer group that meets several times each month. It helps us keep track of our prayer requests list at each meeting. At subsequent meetings, we can look over previous lists and see the many answers to our prayers. Our faith soars! Keep track of your prayer requests with a prayer journal, and watch your faith grow as God shows His faithfulness to YOU.

This inspirational card, made by another stamper using the Refuge and Strength stamp set, is lovely in its simplicity of design as well as its message.  Life is, indeed, precious--each and every day.

If you are having a rough time, take a moment to thank God for your life.  Even when life is difficult, it is precious.  If you are in a sweet season of life, when times are good, and the colors are all brighter, send a hand-stamped card to someone and remind them that life is precious.

How about making it to send someone special? This is simple to put together but conveys that handmade, heartfelt feeling that you want to share...beautifully! This card features the Refuge and Strength stamp set, a punch, and an embossing folder and is made by Daria.
