"I Can"

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.  
Philippians 4:13

Sometimes we might think we can do things by our own strength, but when we rely on ourselves to do everything... eventually those things will start weighing us down.  This often happens to me.  I think, okay Lord, I can handle this matter, no problem.   But it's when those matters and cares of the world start to weigh heavy upon our shoulders that it can get us down.   We are weak.  But God is strong.  He can take all the worry & issues of the day and whisk them all away.   All it takes is for us to be willing to come to Him.  And lay it all down at the foot of the Cross.   His yoke is easy and His burden is Light.   He says, Come.  Come to Him and lay every burden down.  
May you know the Love that He has for you!

Christmas Crafts All Year Round Challenge!

Hi! and a Happy New Year to all my crafty friends!  There's a new challenge going on at Christmas Crafts All Year Round!  
The theme for January is "Thank You" with a Christmas flair!   So, make sure you visit Christmas Crafts All Year Round to enter into the challenge!    Here's my card: 
I decided to go with House Mouse designs stamp.  Olive green card base; red cut out frame using my Cricut; image colored in using my prisma pencils; the thank you is a stamp; the poinsettia just happened to be from my stash; and snow flake washi tape behind the thank you sentiment.   I thought this looked sweet and cozy.  I also used liquid pearls in white opal and glitter to indicate snow.  

Thank you for visiting my blog, and I hope you'll let me know you were here by leaving some comment love!   Happy New Year!  Mary ♥
