Welcome to the World!

How incredible it is to welcome a new little life into the world! I have had the blessing to have four precious new souls and I joy in news of others. What a precious gift from God they are!
Today I have a card that I've created for the Baby challenge over at Card Crafter's Circle!
For my card I've used an image from our sponsor this week. A precious pre-coloured image by Pink Gem Designs called Moon Baby (I did add a touch more yellow to the stars).

I cut it out with my Creative Memories circle cutting tool and layered it on some cardstock from The Paper Company. I placed him over some fluffy feather paper and patterned paper from DCWV and the embossed (Cuttlebug- Baby's Breath) card base. The wonderful sentiment is from Dee's Designs and the star flourish is from Forever in Time.
Now is your turn! We'd love to have you share with us your baby cards at Card Crafter's Circle! If you hop on over to the challenge blog, you can see the other incredible creations from the Design Team.
Have a wonderful day, and joy in the gift of new life!
This week during our family Bible time we've been talking about the second birth. The one that happens when one believes on the Lord Jesus Christ and is saved. How precious that is! Then that individual is just as new and precious in the faith as a newborn baby of flesh is in the world. For each I pray that they may grow and flourish. Each day I marvel as the Lord Jesus is teaching my girls and watching them grow in their faith is such a joy! I continue to pray for my boys that they to may have a new birth.
Love and Prayers,
Jennifer

Thoughts and Memories

This card I've made because of a tragedy here in my city. It happened not far from my home, just about 3 blocks away. A whole family is believed to have died of carbon monoxide poisoning. How tragic, and sudden. My daughter's best friend is friends with one of the relatives of the family and it has touched them deeply! It is in times like these that I pray that people will turn to the Saviour Jesus Christ, for hope and comfort.
I have used Mel Jen's dandilion mouse since to me blowing dandilion seeds into the air are one of my most favorite memories as a child. The sentiment is from Dee's Designs. I have used blues and cream paper from Stampin' Up and misc buttons from my collection, plus a rhinestone for the dandilion.
I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
LittleMissMuffet- Blues and Creams
Dutch Dare- Buttons Galore

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!
