Another Greeting Card

Not long ago my sis was greatly moved by a greeting card that she received.  It was delightful on so many levels.  First, someone bothered to send her REAL MAIL!  Then, once the card was opened, she realized that they had taken the time to MAKE the card.  And after all that, the words written within were music to her soul, food for her spirit, and encouraging in every way.

I am attempting to take that to heart.  So today, instead of  picking up the phone or sending an e-mail, I sat down and drew out this card instead.  It is going in the mail pronto, and I pray God uses it to speak love.

Greeting Cards

On my desk I have an upright napkin holder filled with card stock and envelopes.   The card stock is blank, sturdy...just waiting for some kind of ink and watercolor artwork to be put on it.  For some reason I STRUGGLE to send a card that I bought from Safeway.  Sometimes, at the last minute, when I'm desperate.....out comes the boring Safeway card.  But I'd MUCH RATHER do something fresh and unique and specific!

I gave these cards, blank on the inside, to a friend who is a missionary, because she doesn't have the time to make her own cards, and she doesn't have the luxury of going to Safeway.

 

By the way, these are all "one-liners".  Once I started I didn't pick up the pen until I was finished.  Then I added the watercolor.
