Hello…
I hope you
remember me.
I am so far
behind in my blogging.
So many things
have been happening in my life,
but I want to get
back on track.
I have finally
started making cards again so I will
also be sharing
some of them on my blog.
Today I wanted
to share a poem that I think
expresses something that I hope
will be as helpful
to you as it is to me.
Speak Out
One never knows
how much
A little word
may mean.
How it may
heal a broken heart
Or still a
qualm unseen.
Someone may
be discouraged
About to turn
aside,
They might be
trying to be brave
And all their
fears to hide.
They may fear
to tell just how
Their weary spirit
feels,
But just one
kind, little word from you
Could be the
one that heals.
Their job they
may have tried to do
And yet they
feel so wrong
And just a thoughtful
word from you
May fill
their heart with song.
So friend,
speak out!
It won’t cost
you a thing,
But to some
sorrowing, aching heart
A ray of hope
may bring.
We never know
what problems
those around us are facing ,
but kindness and love will make a difference.
And be ye kind one to
another,
tenderhearted,
forgiving one another,
even as God for
Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
Ephesians 4:32
Here is the cards I made using Word Art Wednesday's scripture last week.
I would love for you to leave a comment!
Oh Mehrll~I was so thrilled to see your post in my inbox!
ReplyDeleteI just had to come over for a visit and say hi as I have certainly missed you.
Your creative cards are so beautiful. I admire those of you who share the beautiful work of your hands. The one with the sunflowers is gorgeous. Sunflowers have a way of putting a smile on one's face, don't they?
That poem is just lovely and so very true.
I was just talking with Stephanie this morning about this very thing. I tend to be drawn to those who appear lonesome, and maybe in need of a friend, and just yesterday I made a point to approach a lady that I really felt was in need of someone to give her some attention, and after talking with her for a good 25 minutes she thanked me for making it a point to stop and spend time with her.
I was blessed and I believe she was too.
Yes, May we stop long enough to care and love others.
Beautiful post, and so good to see you.
Much love~ Debbie

Thank you for your kind comments. I visited your blog briefly and have subscribed. I want to investigate it further when I have more time. Also liked you on Facebook. I mainly use my blog to be a witness for my Saviour. I make cards, but usually only to give away or send to those who need encouragement, birthdays, anniversaries, etc. I try to weekly use the Word Art Wednesday verses to make cards and use them as note cards. Thank you so much for visiting and hope you will be blessed and encouraged by what I post.
ReplyDeleteI don't know where my comment has disappeared to! So I shall say again how much your blog means to me and I am sure to many others. Thank you for this lovely poem and the depth of meaning it conveys. Your cards are wonderful, I love them all, you have much talent! TFS! xx
ReplyDeleteYou are so sweet. You have been a great support and encouragement to me. Your cards are so lovely. So glad that you are a part of our group! Hugs! Tell Daniel hello from me.
DeleteHi there darling sis, am finally over to comment on your wonderful post.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful poem, a reminder that we never should under-estimate what the Lord may do in using our thoughts, deeds or anything for His glory.
Three especially beautiful cards showcasing the Word, thanks for sharing,

Sis, I have missed you while you were gone. Glad you had a good trip. Thanks for the sweet remarks. That was a poem I wrote years ago and just am reviving it. Hugs.
DeleteBeautiful Poem and Beautiful cards! I'm just back to blogging too, the rest from it felt good, I hope yours did too!
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Looking over the comments of some of my sweet blogging friends! Love the commonness of falling away from the blogging for a time. Life gets in the way with importantness! (so to speak) This is a wonderful expression of the gifting God has given you. Your cards, too, speak to the heart of the Love of Christ! I am sure the receivers of the snail mail are pleased to open such a gift! May the Lord continue His blessings in your life!
