The first time someone commented that one of my cards was "CAS",
I truly didn't know if that was a good thing or not.
Clean and Simple ~ it is a good, especially when the need for
get well wishes, expressions of sympathy, or other immediate
card needs are at hand.
Today's card fits the CAS category, as it wasn't a card that took hours
to build the layers, cut out the details, or find just the right embellishments.
It is simply an image from Hunky Dory Crafts, a beautify scripture from the Bible Files on Christian Card Maker cut with a simple
oval shaped die, a couple of layers of matting and a matching bow.
What makes the card special is that it is in the mail.
On the way to brighten someone's day, to let them know that even though I don't know them, they were listed on a site as needing
a prayer and a card of encouragement and someone responded.
Just over three years ago, my Dad was severely burned in a unfortunate accident, one we as a family try to forget the months of pain that followed and the many times we didn't think he could ever recover.
However, we are so very grateful that he survived, and is still with us today. The outpouring of cards he received from the vast areas of the world, not just the United States, was simply overwhelming.
The prayers that came were even larger, and Our God listened.
Gratefully we continue to serve a Risen Savior!
