Fill your mind with good things!

I made four of this masculine style card using one of my favorite stamp sets, Rooted in Nature.  This set has the wood slab and tree in it.  I used a different set for the sentiments.  I made this for an order I am working on and have three available.  :)

I was in my stamping room this afternoon and was thinking about listening to something while I worked.  I was reminded of the bible passage Philippians 4:8.  Finally, brothers, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things. 

 To me that sends a clear message that we are to be focusing on the good, and I feel that we need to do that now more than ever as the world feels so uncertain.  Our hope is in the Lord.   It reminded me to listen to The Next Right Thing with Emily P. Freeman on Google Podcasts.   I  have it downloaded on my phone.  I thoroughly enjoy her soothing and calming voice as she tells examples and stories about making decisions and doing the "next right thing" in your life.  I have had a peaceful four hours, stamping and listening to her Christian messages.  She had a couple of other women as guest speakers in the podcasts I listened to today, they also do podcasts.  I really enjoyed listening to them on her program, so I am going to check those gals out too!

How are you keeping your inner peace!?!  I would love to hear what you are up to!  You can leave me a message in the comments.  :)  Make it a great day!!!

You always have a way of making my day

 

This blueberry paper is so gorgeous.  I just love it and this beautiful sentiment.  :) 


Wishing you the berry best!


I just finished 4 of this sweet card and I have three available.  Such a happy cheerful card, sure to brighten any one's day.

I am back! Choose Love, choose kindness!

 


It has been quite awhile since I have used my blog, so bear with me as I figure out to use the functions on it as it has changed. 

 So very many reasons I am leaving the face book platform, that I won't share on here, but I will share one, and the quote above expresses it quite well.  I hope no one will take this personally but I am so tired of the division in our Country and that we are not allowed to have opinion.  We live in the greatest nation in the world, and have freedom of speech which is one of the things I love the most about it.  Yet that freedom is being abused.  If one has an opinion different than someone elses, you either need to stay silent or risk being slammed.  Enough is enough....I am sharing this as I really want people to think about this, is your opinion so right, so important, that you are willing to destroy a friendship!?! An opinion worth more than a person?  So many don't even realize what they are doing.  

Choose kindness.  Choose People.  Choose LOVE!   This is what will heal our land.   

Thank you for taking the time to read my post.  This will be a safe place, and tomorrow, I will go back to my regular posting and show you some hats I have finished.

Writing in love.... Elaine
