When Little Things Become Big

For the current giveaway click : Take Time to Enjoy the Little Things

I have to admit this has been a rough week.  Not only did we pass the 11th anniversary of 9-11, but were also reminded that evil abounds by the tragic death of 4 Americans.  Perhaps you have had other things that have discouraged you.  I know that I have.  I've been angry and I've been sad.  All I could do was cry out to God and I know He heard me.  Do you know that He hears you?  He wants to give you hope.  If you missed it, you can learn about that hope by clicking here.

Sometimes I think we forget that God is not only great.  He also delights to remind us that He loves us.  Sometimes He shows that in big ways and others in the the little things.  That happened to me today.  I was discouraged and God sent me a gentle reminder of His love.  It was a little thing to Him and He used a very special lady.  How?

Today I opened my mailbox and there was a package from this sweet lady in it. Even when there are evil people all around, there are still good ones too.  This was a BIG reminder on how much my God loves me.  He used her hands to send it.  So thank you my sweet friend (and you know who you are) for being a BIG encouragement to me today.

Welcome to my little contribution to the Operation Write Home Blog Hop.  I am so happy that you stopped by today.  This is the first time that I've participated in an OWH Blog Hop, but I have hopped to other blogs during these hops before.  I can't wait to see all the inspiration out there. Today, I have chosen the Bonus Sketch #12 to use with this hop.  It is a sketch that my daughter chose to have me make her thank you notes for graduation before I even knew the hop details.  What perfect timing!  Be sure to scroll down to the previous post for a full tutorial and to see my daughter's thank you note.  Same technique and sketch, but a totally different card. I used the following supplies: Operation Write Home Bonus Sketch #12 K and Company - Ancestry.com paper Memento Tuxedo Black ink OWH / Hero Art stamp Stampendous - Happy Messages stamp set Thanks so much for stopping by today. Remember to take some time to enjoy the little things.  Have a
