Hello, sweet friends! I think everyone is super busy getting ready for Christmas, and I just wanted to share some news about Power Poppy's Christmas sale and the new digital image for the 5th. Power Poppy has a special "Holiday Sale" going on right now. Just click on the Power Poppy store banner to see the Christmas sets for sale, and be sure to enter HOLIDAY10 in the discount code box at checkout - sweet!
And today is the 5th, so here's the new and adorable Snowglobe Greetings that features Santa Claus trying to squeeeeeze down into the chimney, and maybe we can help him out if we give that snowglobe a few shakes? Hehe! Marcy has created a decorative base wth extra spaces for your personal touches. A simple seasonal greeting rounds out this globular set! Is this not a beautiful snowglobe? I just love the base with the holly and berries. Allison Cope posted a most adorable card using this new digi, and she's even included a great video here. Be sure to stop by and leave her some "blog love."
So you may wondering where my card is with this snowglobe, right? Well, I just could not get myself going this week. It's been a struggle, and I would surely appreciate your prayers. I am being treated for small-fiber peripheral neuropathy and slowing increasing the medication, and this week has been a bit hard - hence no card. But I will be making a card soon, for sure. God is so gracious in His daily strength, encouragement, and peace through it all.
I am always so encouraged by God's Word, and here are just two Scripture passages that I trust will encourage you this day.

...do not be anxious about anything,
but in everything by prayer and supplication
with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding,
will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7
Our soul waits for the LORD;
He is our help and shield.
For our heart is glad in Him,
because we trust in His holy name.
Let your steadfast love, O LORD, be upon us,
even as we hope in you.
Psalm 33:20-22

Oh Cheryl the last we talked it sounded like all was going well with the medication increase, you are still in my daily prayers and I will pray that these increases in the medicine doesn't keep you away from doing the things you love. Big Hugs to you my friend, May God bless you with strength and healing this week!

Cheryl, I'm sorry you're having such a difficult time that it keeps you from the things you love. I'm sure your tolerance of the meds will level off and things will get better. In the meantime, find strength in your faith and the beautiful, encouraging verses you shared today. Hugs!
Hello mf.
I am so sorry to hear you have been struggling again. It must feel frustrating to be down having a tough time at such a busy time of the year.
I think so often during the hustle and bustle of the holidays, we need to stop and think about what this holiday really is all about. We need to tell the people we love and care about that we are glad they are a part of our life. We need to show that God works through us to help others understand that He is there for us! I know that you already know that but I want to tell you again, how blessed and lucky I feel to have you as my friend in my life. We are connected over the miles even though we have never met and I feel for you when you are not well. Take care and I am sending extra prayers that you feel improved and able to show us that talent that the Good Lord has given you through your cards and the kindness they evoke.
hugs and love mf,
Karen
