How is 2012 treating you so far? We've had a good "last" day of vacation together today, and all went to see the movie, Adventures of Tin Tin (fun!). Tomorrow it's back to work for my husband and I. For me, I'm able to work at home tomorrow while the kids are still home, but my husband has to head back to the office.
A new year is a wonderful time for new starts isn't it? I'm not a big New Year's Resolutions person, because let's be honest, most of us fail at that. But we do sit down with the kids before the new year and ask them what kind of things they'd like to set goals for in the next year. Things they'd like God to help them with in the year ahead. So each of us set one personal and one spiritual goal. What I like about this is that it's something to help motivate us all, but we recognize it's not by "willpower" that we'll be accomplishing it, it's with God's help and we're depending on Him. And the beautiful thing is, each day is a new day filled with Grace. Morning by Morning new mercies I see. :)
This card is with this weeks Mojo Sketch and the SCS Color Challenge this week too. I've done some repeated stamping with this pretty Verve set New Mercies. And then added a little sunshine for the new day with some Copics. Sweet and simple and still classy!
I hope you see New Mercies today as well friends!
