I have a young WW member who lost her mother a week ago to pancreatic cancer. She was only diagnosed the week before Thanksgiving. My member is the most remarkable young person, and has a faith that is to be admired and embraced. I want to send her a card to let her know that she and her family are in my prayers, and what better image to use than this image from the Sassy Cheryls Digi Store called Praying For You. I've colored her Copics.
The papers I've used are from a digital kit, appropriately named Serenity from Just So Scrappy Too, and met the blue and brown challenge to a T. The sketch is from this week's Inspirational Card Challenge. I fell in love with it and love the way this card turned out.
I want to share my members remarkable faith by sharing with you words that she wrote on the Caring Bridge Site after her Mom passed.
"I am reminded of a verse from Psalm 30 - my grandma actually read it yesterday afternoon at Mom's bedside - "Weeping may last for a night, but joy comes in the morning." What a mighty God we serve Who NEVER breaks His promises! We are in mourning, but Mom is IN her morning. Praise the Lord."
