Hope and Prayers

Hope and prayers - At this time of year, I often think about the Hope that the birth of the Savior means to all of mankind. For me the promise feels me with hope and joy; but for many this time of year makes many going through pains of this life sad and depressed. It is hard to see joy in the world when you are in acute pain. For these people, they need more encouragement more now than at any other time of year. My Aunt who lost her husband last year, told me how she cried all day on Christmas last year, as she missed having my dear Uncle at her side. So this card is for all those people feeling pain and sorrow.
The image is Angel of Hope by Michelle Perkett. Michelle's images are so beautiful and can just touch your heart. The DP is Rustic by DCWV. The sentiment reads. Give your trouble to God. He will be up all night anyway. The ribbon accents and the flowers are Jolee stickers.
