Theme: It's all about love...His love
Dates: Feb. 9-13

 Jesus loves us the same as his Father loves him!  What a wonderful promise.  The greek word there for love is agape.  It means unconditional love. Doesn't matter what's in our past-when we ask for forgiveness-it's gone. God doesn't hold grudges.  Sometimes we cant "feel" his love. There may be some obstacle in our love walk keeping us from feeling his presence like we should. Examine yourself & ask him to show you wants holding you back. I want to experience God's love every day.

I used 8x10 canvas to paint vines growing-just like our love grows for God. He loved us so much he sent his son Jesus to die on a cross.  He gave his all for us. We only have to give our love back.  I printed out our word art verse and mod-podged it onto the canvas. I stamped a heart in distress ink. Coated the entire thing with more mod-podge.


Prize: Stampin' Up Set
Winner for Stampin' Up Set will be announced Feb. 14
Several of our team will be having a giveaway of their own.

HAVE FUN!

Hi Karen,

Isn't it funny, I JUST bought some canvas paper too - and I've been trying to think how I'd use it - so your card is great example.

This is so beautiful and will surely grace someone's wall!

Thanks for your encouraging post

I'm using this opportunity to pray for each of you as I visit and also for our visitors!

Traci S. said...

Hi Karen~

What a beautiful piece of art. There are so many references of "vines" in the Bible. I love the way you thought of it and then portrayed it. His unconditional love is amazing and I am still just shocked when I think that He can love me...and has forgiven me unconditionally for anything that I have done wrong. Praise His Name! The Name of Jesus!

Thank you for offering such generous candy! It is wonderful, and so very generous! Do we need to look on every blog on The 14th or will the winners be announced on the WAW and SSIC sites?

He IS Able!
