A Royal Treatment Card---It's Anything Goes at our neighborhood 613 Avenue Create...Join Us!

Hello everyone, this is coming out pretty late for our Challenge that started yesterday.  Sunday was such a busy day for me so, I apologized for the delay.  Anyway, we are enjoying such a wonderful weather out here...Yesterday was a bit chilly but the sun was out so, a perfect spring weather, I should say.  I don't know with you but I do wish there's more hours in a day.  Recently, I made 3 cards (which is not usual due to the amount of time it takes for me to complete a project) spending close to 18 hours.  Oh yes, I didn't get much sleep...LOL.  Though I needed to make them due to DT deadlines, I enjoy the creative process on each card that I don't feel the time quickly passing by.  Aside from Cardmaking, I have other Craft projects I wanted to start or learn.  If I can only grab the hours that other people (who claimed to be bored) would not care having and add it on my hours, I would be happy to do so...LOL

Anyway, it is evident that "Time" knows no status...Whether we are rich or poor, big or small, young or old, each one of us is given the same amount of time in a day.  We can choose to waste our time or use it for the good.  The key to spending time wisely is to start the day communicating with the One who gave us time in the first place---our Almighty God.  Jesus told us in Luke 10:27 in response to the question of a man whose a teacher in the Law (Torah), "He answered, "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'"  Jesus summed up the Ten Commandments into these two greatest commandments.  Before we can even do good to our neighbors, we must know who is love and what it truly means.  To love and to be loved in the "Agape" (unconditional and selfless) love that stems our from the heart of God.  Hence, we must inquire from the Lord Who is Love (Himself) and  our ultimate Source for every good thing.  He has given us His Word (His written revelation) and His promises are declared in every precious page of the Scriptures.  God didn't leave anything unanswered when it comes to man's need.  Since He does not change (always faithful an true), we can be confident in  relying  on His every promise.  Moreover, Matthew 6:33 tell us, "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."  You see if we start the day inquiring of God, He will bless the work that we have for that day.  Nothing on earth happens by accident.  Everything is mandated by God to occur in its perfect time and place according to Ecclesiastes 3:1.  So as a child of God (redeemed by the precious blood of Jesus Christ) we are to start each day by reporting to our Big Boss/Big Abba (Daddy) for guidance each day. Ask Him to bless the work of your hands, relationships and encounters daily for His glory.  I want to share a few inspirational verses to ponder on:

"The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left."  (Ecclesiastes 10:2) 

"He will be the sure foundation for your times, a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge; the fear of the LORD is the key to this treasure." (Isaiah 33:6)

"For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come." (1 Timothy 4:8)

I made 2 cards for our Anything Goes Challenge with a Twist (2D/3D Flowers) at 613 Avenue Create, each one to highlight a stamp from our 2 sponsors this week.  This one comes from Scrapper's Delight called "CU Princess Digi 4" which I colored using my ProMarker/Prismacolor markers.  The Kraft card base is cut and scored to make a 5.5 inches square card.  The DP's are from Recollections and American Crafts.  I use an MS Border Punch to shape the sides of the panels and included a sentiment I got for free from Create with TLC.  Added some glitters (Stickles-Crystal) to the clouds and some fancy stitching.  Came out pretty good!  If you want to see my other card, it is HERE.
