"I supply the obedience, and GOD supplies the abundance." ~ Anissa Stark
Our daughter Carissa is the kid founder of our Kids4Kids Super Hero Program where kids help other kids in need who live across town, across the nation, and across the world.
This week's mission is to make hand-crafted Compassion Cards for children living in a homeless shelter. The Challenge for us was to gather the art supplies needed to complete our mission.
This Monday I gathered my personal stock of art supplies, yet I had zero card stock for the children to make their Compassion Cards. On Tuesday I attended my first Monthly Card Club at Collective Journey which consisted of talented artists that make hand-crafted cards. I introduced myself to the ladies and told them about how we are making hand-crafted cards for women & children living in homeless shelters, and that I was here to learn from them. Not only was I inspired by new great ideas for hand-crafted cards, but one of the ladies blessed me with more than enough card stock that is already cut and ready for our kid Super Heros to decorate and turn into Compassion Cards. Not only did this angel bring us card stock, but she also gave us stickers, and another angel gave us ink pads, and a couple of rubber stamps. Today Carissa's teacher gave me some color paper for the children to use with our assorted decorative figure punches.
If GOD tells you to do something for Him -- just do it! Do your best, and GOD will do the rest. Even if you have no resources GOD has unlimited resources that arrive in unforeseen ways.
Well I got to go and get ready for tomorrow's Compassion Card art project. I will post pictures of the kiddos Compassion Cards as soon as I can.
