Mail Box Delight

I was honored last week to find out that I was one of the winners at 
Prayer Notes By Cynthia
http://prayernotesbycynthia.blogspot.com/
This lovely coaster arrived in my mail box.
It is too pretty to set a cup of coffee on
 and hide it, so  decided to make a stand of it.

I used a block of wood from a 4X4 fence post.
BINGO  balls for feet.
Shapes cut from scrap wood.

 

After a little paint, some rubber stamping and glue this is what I had.

We all know the Lord's Prayer.
A few years ago it stopped me dead in my tracks.
The part about God forgiving us as we forgive others.
I realized that I truly did not want the Lord to forgive me 
as I had forgiven others, 
I wanted Him to forgive me much more than that.  
That was the day that changed my life for the better.
That was a day that I touched the heart of God.
I have known some very mean people in my life,
people that have hurt me . . .and on purpose.
I have also had people that have hurt me, 
without ever realizing what they had done.
But, that day was the last day that I held on to that hurt.
That day I completely forgave them  . . .each and every one of them. . .
And I was set Free.
And it feels so GOOD:)

That is why I did not what to hide this prayer under my coffee cup.
Instead I will set it in a place to remind me of the 
joy we find, when we listen and obey.

Thank you Cynthia . . . your little work of art is a treasure.
