... be a peacemaker ...

 Hello everyone ...

Wednesday 21st September is International Day of Peace and also World Gratitude Day.

Be the change you want to see in this world ... be a peacemaker ... show the world a better way of being and advocate for peace and gratitude and all things founded in Love.

Be someone whose actions speak louder than words.

 The LORD bless you
   and keep you;
 the LORD make his face shine on you
   and be gracious to you;
 the LORD turn his face toward you
   and give you peace.

... JOY and GRACE postcards ...

I am really liking my new postcard series ...JOY and GRACE.

This series is all collage ... with text and colored letters ... all individually collaged by hand ... layering up ... but after making this series I am seriously considering doing the next lot digitally ... just to see how it looks?? To see if I can achieve the same look using Photoshop or Illustrator.

I will let you  know how the experiment goes ... 

VERY EXCITING ...

... count your blessings ...

Hello everyone ...

I am officially calling today 'Count Your Blessings Day'

Everyday should be count your blessings day ... because I belong to God ... and His abundant awesomeness abounds.

"so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,  may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,  and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God."

Ephesians 3 : 17 - 19

This verse would be my hearts prayer for me and everyone ... it is my deepest desire to know God better ...

That all things are possible with God.

There is so much to discover about God's love for us ... let get into it!

Think of someone who needs your love and encouragement ...maybe it's someone who catches the bus everyday ... maybe it's the petrol station cashier ... why not just give them a smile or ask them how they are?

Lakshmi Pratury on letter-writing

Hello everyone ...

I am a big fan of sending a handwritten card ... and the possibility of a resurgence in handwriting does excite me ... the personal touch of caring words and seeing someones personality on paper ... so when I saw this Ted Talk, I was  ... Yes Yes Yes!

Lakshmi talking about leaving a legacy of handwritten letters and journals ... precious memories.





What a great idea ... something for your family and friends to cherish.

My grandmother sent me a letter many years ago ... talking about her life and her grief over my husband dying, it was an amazing gift of insight into her personality and was the first time I actually saw her as a woman and not just my grandmother.  Years later when she died ... I would read the letter to remember her ... and feel her voice through the pages.  She was a big influence on my life.  I am very thankful for that letter.

Don't waste any time ... start building relationships while you are still alive ... send a handwritten letter.

Be a blessing

... Don't give up ...

Hello everyone ...

Everyone has an amazing gift to offer the world.  What is yours?

One of my gifts is encouragement!  I love to uplift ... while I am on the journey of life, there has been many opportunities to come alongside people and encourage them.

Life is all about keeping the momentum going and resisting the urge to give up when the going gets tough.  The trick is not to stop but to slow down ... take time to rest while taking small steps ... take time to recoup while putting one foot in front of the other ... keep looking up ... keep looking forward.

Don't give up ... congratulate yourself on coming thus far ... be kind to you ... seek God's voice and hear His whisper ... hear His roar ... hear His heart for you.

Be encouraged ...

"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!  Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.  Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

Philippians 4 : 4-7

Feel the smile these bring to your face ... now think of someone who needs your love and encouragement ... send them this verse ... Now you have just passed on God's Love ... it's as easy as that ... DONE!

"Even youths grow tired and weary, 

and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the LORD 

will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles; 

they will run and not grow weary,

they will walk and not be faint."

Isaiah 40 : 30-31
