Monthly Inspiration-What To Write In A Card-Send A Card To Those In A Nursing Home

Hello, and welcome to a new week. Someone in a nursing home may have no visitors, and sending a card could brighten their day. A solution would be to contact a nearby nursing home and tell them you are interested in sending a message to a resident who needs a note of cheer. Here are a few suggestions as to what to write inside your card:

• Start with a brief introduction about yourself and something you have done recently.
• Include a Scripture verse or poem.
• If you feel comfortable, send a photo of yourself, so they can see who is writing to them.
• Let them know you will send a note again soon.

Today's Scripture reading,

"Cheerfully share your home with those who need a meal or a place to stay." 1 Peter 4:9 (NLT)

May you have a blessed week.

Terrific Tuesday-#103-My Creating Process

~Hello, and welcome to Terrific Tuesday #103~

This month, I'm sharing my creative process is a little different. It's actually about a painting class I attended with my three daughters. Although I have little experience with painting, the venue where the painting class was held did not require any painting experience, which I really appreciated. An artist-led us on the steps to take to create the painting, and he gave suggestions on how to use the paintbrushes and mix colors. Overall we were free to paint as we chose. I found the painting very relaxing and enjoyed visiting with our family. It was so neat to see how each of our paintings was different and unique to each of us. Below is the result of my painting:

Terrific Tuesday #98-My Creating Process

~Hello and welcome to Terrific Tuesday #98~

The indoor Farmers Market came to a close for the winter season on Saturday, March 12, 2022. It's always nice to see people come and support the Farmers Market. As vendors, we sure do appreciate it.

I had received a special request to make a recipe album for a customer. She was happy with the final outcome, and her plan is to write some recipes for her nephew and give them to him as a gift.

My daughter and her boyfriend stopped by to see me, and I was pleasantly surprised as I did not know they were coming. Her boyfriend found a card from my display to give to his sister, that will be having a baby girl soon. It was a great day.

For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory.” Deuteronomy 20:4 (NIV)

 ~Hello, and welcome to Terrific Tuesday #94~

On Saturday, February 12, 2022, was our local indoor Farmers Market. The weather was a bitter ten below zero here in Minnesota; along with five other vendors, we anticipated a small crowd. However, we were very thankful for the fantastic turnout of people who stopped by to support us. I enjoyed visiting with people and helping them find a suitable handmade greeting for their needs. Indeed a blessing, and I'm very grateful.

Terrifc Tuesday #89-What To Write In A Card To Give Someone Some Encourgement

 ~Hello, and welcome to Terrific Tuesday #89~

We are in our second week of 2022, and perhaps some of you might be feeling overwhelmed trying to accomplish goals, change new habits, exercise more, eat healthier, and the list can go on and on. The truth is we don't have to do it all at once, and we can choose one and work on it for the first quarter of this year. In the next quarter, we can choose another one throughout the year.

There might be a family member or friend that could use some encouragement. We could send them a little card. I have compiled a list of ideas of what to write inside the card:

• I'm sending you a card instead of a text.
• A note to say hi. I thought of you today.
• God loves you, and so do I.
• You are loved today and always.

Today's Scripture reading:

"Wisdom's instruction is to fear the LORD, and humility comes before honor." Proverbs 15:33 (NIV)
