Unspeakable Gift

 Today's card features the NEW Lantern Light stamps and dies from Creative Worship Stamps. This was part of last month's release that I didn't get posted since I was away helping dad after my mom went home to be with Jesus. The background was embossed with the Moroccan Tile embossing folder and then I lightly rubbed gold ink over the top to make the design stand out.

Hope

Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope.

1 Thessalonians 4:13

“The glory of the Christian life is that we have a hope that overwhelms grief. It doesn’t eradicate it. It sweetens it.” (Tim Keller)

Life will never be the same without you here on earth, mom. I miss you so much, but I'll meet you on the other side one day.
