Our Changing Times and the Power of Thankfulness and Gratitude & a Freebie

 Hello readers, what crazy times we live in.  Have you noticed?  35 years ago, I prayed for my kids, and now I am praying the same prayers for my grandkids.  Lord keep them safe in this present world.  

I am also doing the same thing I did 4 decades ago, Staying in the Word, praying, fasting, and giving thanks for the many blessings He has showered my life with. There is a great staying power in being thankful and understanding that The Lord has my life and those I love in the safety of his hands and heart. I trust The Lord.

I came across this cute stamp on Christian Cardmakers Face Book Group done up by my friend Cynthia O.  It is a digital stamp from Polka Dot Orchard .  I printed this on 130lb watercolor paper and used colored pencils and Gamisol to color. Using this technique the image worked up pretty quickly and I found it very relaxing.   Because inkjet printing is not waterproof, my go-to for digitals is pencil and Gamisol on watercolor paper for a painterly look. On smooth finishes, I prefer alcohol marker and pencil for highlighting.
