Terrific Tuesday #106-What To Write In A Card-Adoption

~Hello, welcome to Terrific Tuesday #106 
Do you know of anyone that will be or has adopted a child? If so, here are a few ideas of what to write inside a card:
  • Congratulations on your adoption, we/I are so happy for you.
  • Your dream to become parents has arrived. 
  •  A beautiful win/win for you and your child.
The new parents will appreciate your thoughtfulness whatever you decide to write in your card.

Today's Scripture reading:
"May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God." Ephesians 3:19 (NLT)

Have a blessed week.
My next blog post will be on Tuesday, June 7, 2022.

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:

Today's Scripture reading:
"He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death' or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." Revelation 21:4 (NIV)

May you have a Terrific Tuesday and a blessed week.

Terrific Tuesday-#102-What To Write In A Easter Card

 ~Hello, welcome to Terrific Tuesday #102~
Easter Sunday will be here soon, on April 17, 2022. Sending a card for Easter is very special because it is the day Jesus rose from the dead, giving us the promise of eternal life. I would like to offer a few ideas to write inside of an Easter Card:
  • Happy Easter, and God bless you.
  • Jesus is alive! We have eternal life!
  • May you rest in knowing God loves you enough to send His Son Jesus to give eternal life.
  • To a special (friend, sister, brother, niece, nephew, mother, father, aunt, or uncle) Happy Easter!
Today's Scripture reading,
"He is not here; He has risen!" Luke 24:6 (NIV)

May you have a Terrific Tuesday and a blessed week.

 ~Hello, and welcome to Terrific Tuesday #100~
March has an extra Tuesday; I usually like to share a photo I have taken when I'm outside. However, the weather in Minnesota has been frigid, and I have not been outdoors at all. However, I would like to share a Bible verse graphic I have created:
