Stampin' Sisters in Christ

This is for Challenge #101 over at Stampin' Sisters in Christ today. I bought 3 or 4 packages of these cross brads and have been pretty stingy in using them. Do I do the same thing with my faith and the truths I know to be true? Do I keep it to myself instead of sharing it with others? Another thing I do is keep little left over pieces of ribbon. They are just too pretty to throw away. So today I am going to share some truths I know. file://we/ are much like these little remnants of ribbon to God. We are too beautiful to Him to not see our usefulness in His Kingdom. So He weaves us together not only to make us even more beautiful as a body together, but to make us more united and stronger. And in the awe of His glory and the great things He has done with us, for us, and through us, we still honor Him as our God, our creator, our all in all. Have a blessed Sabbath, renew your spirit, and refresh yourself for a new week.

Liz, your card is so uniquely pretty with your ribbon weaving...and I so enjoy reading your parallel to believers being remnants of ribbon woven together in the body of Christ. A wonderful thought and thanks so much for joining us at Stampin' Sisters in Christ this week!!

I love your card. So pretty. I had to smile when you mentioned small pieces of ribbon. I have a ziplock baggie next to my stamping area that is stuffed full of pieces of ribbon or lace too small to use, but to pretty to throw away! Those cross brads are really pretty. Thanks for joining the Stampin' Sisters in Christ challenge this week!
