For a Child

Hello everyone! Happy Sunday!
With Sunday comes another Stampin Sisters in Christ Challenge! Our hostess this week is the sweet Miesje! She has chosen the following Scripture for this week's challenge:

Luke 18:17
"Amen I say to you, whoever does not accept the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it."

Miesje's challenge is to make a card for a child.

Why would Jesus say this? I believe it's because children accept with complete faith. They don't question every little detail, doubting that which they cannot understand. If a parent or trusted person tells them something is true... they simply believe and accept it with all their heart. God wants us to accept Him this same way. It's strange but sometimes as people grow up.... they let the things of this world, and confidence in their own abilities and understanding become the things they trust, and it's harder for them to accept the truth of God's love for them and the so simple way they can come to Him. They want to complicate it... turn it into something it's not. It's so simple... even a child can understand it! God loves you. He provided the way for your sins to be forgiven and for you to enter His Heavenly kingdom. Simply believe and receive Him like a child.

My card today is made with a Sugar Nellie digi! Her name is Joy. Isn't she sweet? I colored her with Copics and used this week's sketch from Bearly Mine. The dp is Prima Annalee (thanks to a so sweet friend) and Prima Fairy Flora. The image is printed on Gina K Pure Luxury White. The lacy punched work is Martha Stewart, and I wove some sheer pink ribbon through it. I used the Floral Doily Accents (Spellbinders) for the flowers and the hand made crocheted flower is also a gift from my dear friend... one I treasure!
