May 'Carriers Of Faith' Blog Hop

We are a group of ladies that chat and papercraft, and have another common bond- we are all Christians.  We have a monthly themed Blog Hop : )

Kelly is our Blog Hop Hostess- our May Theme: : Tell your story!

Scripture: "Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story- those he redeemed from the hand of the foe..." ~ Psalm 107:2

  This is one of my favorite times of year, celebrating this time of Christ's resurrection! On Easter morning when the tomb was empty, the gift to all of us was the assurance that we will live again and be given eternally glory. As Christians, of course, we hope to know Christ and accept him as our Savior and share the gospel with friends, family, those we fellowship with. Truly when God died on that cross for you, for me, for all of us, he paid the price for us to worship at his feet and redeem ourselves.

 On this hop today, we all unite to share our creations with you as well as a letter on each stop of the way. *Please remember the letter on your host's blog and at the end ( Kelly ) will ask you to write the word from all the letters in order*! What's more fun, there is a prize for one lucky winner which will be given at random from all those leaving the Guess the Word comment! ♥ Blessings to each of you! ♥

My Letter Is E

  Easter is a time for renewal- it is a time of year where I feel on fire- full of the Holy Spirit! I am blessed to have a Father that was just 3 months shy of being a priest, and a very faithful Mother too.  My Dad was a Catholic hospital administrator, so we were always surrounded by religious people at home and when we were out and about.  My parents sacrificed to send all 7 of the kids in my family to Catholic schools as well.

 I also have a fabulous Godmother- who spent alot of time and effort passing on the faith to me! So, for my Blog Hop Project, I decided to make her cards she can send out to friends.  My Aunt Patty is 89 and lives in assisted living. She is also on a fixed income and focuses on living a simple life.

 My cards are CAS reflecting how my Aunt lives a simple life- with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit as the focus. Also, so she can mail them without additional postage : )  I also used flowers as the focus on the cards- reflecting on the season of renewal and spiritual growth that occurs during the Easter Season and beyond!  With my wonderful allergies- flowers on cards are the best way for me to enjoy them........
