With Heartfelt Grief

Hello! Today I have a card that I'd like to share with you that I've made for my husband's Aunt and cousins. This past weekend they've laid to rest his Uncle. Even though he was in his 70's, it was a phone call we weren't expecting. This was a man that if you met him you'd never forget him.
I'm not very good at sympathy cards and then when I discovered this image by Dee's Designs I knew it was the right one. You can find it HERE!
It is so hard to say goodbye, but knowing that he believed on the Lord Jesus Christ for his salvation, I will see him again. Praying for his wife and their children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren as they get used to living without his tangible presence.

This sentiment is also available at Dee's Designs and can be found HERE!
Sorry for the "bright" pictures. I am having a hard time getting them just right.
Take Care and have a great day!
I'd also like to share this card with Word Art Wednesday this week.

Salvation FULL & FREE!

"But God commendeth his love toward us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life."

Romans 5:8-10

So what does this mean?

God proved his love for us, sinners, through the death of his sinless Son. This death was not accidental. It was sacrificial and necessary for the reconciliation of sinners. The penalty for sin is death. However, there is hope in Christ! His death on the cross paid the price for your sins and mine and brings forgiveness from and peace with God. Christ's resurrection and present ministry in heaven keep us saved. Once you have accepted this precious gift, you can never lose it! AMEN!

Have YOU repented, believed, and been reconciled? I pray that you have!
