I belong to the
BLISSFULL ATC SWAP.
Each month we have a new theme.
JANUARY'S WAS:
SNOW AND WHITE.
I can post my ATC now because Robin my
ATC SWAP Partner has already received her
card from me.
I loved this graphic when I saw it.
It made me think how God always has his
umbrella of love over us, even when it does not
seem like it.
I titled my ATC,
"SHELTER FROM THE SNOW!"
God, throughout the bible, talks about his
precious creatures.
He even says that he knows every time a
Sparrow falls and how much more important are
we to him than a sparrow.
This is the envelope that I made to send my
ATC card in. Try as I may I could not get
the snowman to line up at the pocket.
PRAYER REQUESTS
Before we go over our prayer needs I would
like to share something.
Just this week alone I have heard several people
state what a hard time they were going through
and didn't want to be a BOTHER...they did not
want to be a bother. That hurts me.
We all blog for different reasons: Art, Quilting,
Sewing, Home decorating, Candle making,
Cooking and on and on...
BUT
WE ALL CARE ABOUT ONE ANOTHER,
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE GOING THROUGH
A HARD TIME.
I love this quote:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"A friend is one to whom one may pour
out all the contents of one's heart, chaff and
grain together, knowing that the gentlest
of hands will take and sift it, keep what is
worth keeping and with a breath of kindness
blow the rest away."
~Arabian Proverb
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I thought that was the most beautiful quote I
have ever read.
I believe it is now my
"FAVORITE", as quotes go.

THIS IS A SCRIPTURE FROM THE BIBLE THAT
KEEPS SPRING IN MY HEART
~~~~~~
"The greatest love a person can have for his
friends is to give his life for him."
~John 15:3
~~~~~~
AND THAT IS WHAT OUR SAVIOUR,
JESUS CHRIST,
DID FOR ME AND YOU.

Hello Debbie...I love your snow and bird ACT...I miss the snow. It's all over the world, except here...but I also appreciate the sunshine we've been having and the honey bees that have been buzzing - reminders/messengers of the impending Spring.
That Arabian Proverb is very lovely indeed. No wonder it's your new favorite.
It's nice to visit with you again, Debbie, and I will pray for all those brave and precious lives that are battling the big, bad C.
Blessings to you and yours,
Doris

Hi Debbie,
Loved your cute lil card you made and the whole message behind it, and I thought the envelope was cute too!
Wonderful quote as well! We all go thru some sort of tribulations all the time, and it is good to have a good friend with a empathetic, non judgemental ear that will sift the things we say and know when or if
there is some truth we need to hear and also be willing to deliver it if need be or just listen and empathisize.
Prayed for everyone on the list,
there is just so many people everywhere that are afflicted in
some way, we have quite a number
on our prayer list with cancer as well.
Good News is we recently heard of a dear friend of 40 yrs. Monica who was healed by the Lord, we are so happy for her and her family, and so happy to see someone who has beat it, oh also, Kirk Douglas beat his too!!
You have a wonderful week hon,
Good to see you post,
Blessings, Nellie
DEBBIE,
THANK YOU FOR INCLUDING ME ON YOUR PRAYER LIST. I HAVE RECEIVED MY TREATMENT AND I AM DOING WELL. I BELIEVE THEY HAVE REMOVED ALL OF THE CANCER AND ANY FURTHER TREATMENT WILL BE MINIMAL. IT IS THE POWER OF PRAYER AND THAT GREAT UMBRELLA THAT SHELTERED ME.
THANK YOU MY FRIEND FOR BEING A PRAYING FRIEND.

Hi Debbie, Thank you so much for visiting My Dream Canvas and your lovely comment. I am so glad I discovered yours as well. Its really beautiful and touching. I don't think the umbrella would be too heavy...unfortunately I don't have one!! Take care, Anu
I hope that the people on your list know that there are many people that are praying for them, and I hope we all include a prayer for the countless numbers that we have not heard about.
Your card is soft and caring - I think the way you are.
