Not to get too deep - but I wanted to share a quick thought I had while making my card : ).
Life sometimes gets a little crazy and this year I feel like I have lived 20 lifetimes. When things have gotten hard I have tried to remember back to when times were easier and more carefree and to remember that those days will come again. : )
This simple little card kind of speaks to me of the hope of brighter days with the shadow of hard times growing dimmer. I was going to make this a Sympathy card but I realized it isn't with Sympathy that I look back on this year. Actually many blessings have come to me as a result of my trials and growing stronger and closer to Jesus and the Hope He offers is, by far, worth it all!!
I hope you will look beyond the clouds that may be covering your happiness and find rest and peace in Jesus too : )
BIG (((Hugs)))

Beautiful card to go with your beautiful post. Hope the coming year continues to bring you many blessings.
What a glorious background you've created for that pretty little bird! This is a lovely card Patti. I'm happy to know Jess has gotten you through the difficult times. He's done the same for me. I try to live my life with him in my heart and thoughts everyday. I pray he continues to get you through the good and the bad that life brings, Hugs!!
Your card is so gorgeous with that wonderful background you made. A perfect card for many times when we are thinking of someone. And, I like how your attitude about your life happenings this past year is so positive. Sometimes we need these trials in life to bring us closer to our Lord. These trials tend to shape us and we never got through them alone as our Lord Jesus is always with us. I hope you can continue to have this positive outlook in the future too!
Beautiful card Patti. I love the soft colors and the simplicity. Thinking of You is the best sentiment because he can be used for any/all reasons.
