My church as been without a senior pastor for over a year. We have been blessed with a few great interim pastors over that time, but it’s not quite the same. This past week our congregation called a man who will be a wonderful addition to our church family. The new pastor and his wife will be here Palm Sunday, and we are THRILLED! Tomorrow’s his birthday so the church family is showering him with cards. Mine is a Thomas Kinkaid, the Forest Chapel. Kinkaid stamps combined with shimmery cardstock, inks and ribbons make for an instant classy card. The sentiment is a new CHF release Script Essentials by Mona Lisa. Full supply list at the bottom of the post.
So that’s my good news….here is what made me cry:
See that huge, gaping hole where the cutest little toothy grin used to be? It’s the end of the baby face, and since this is my youngest…it’s the end of all baby faces, isn’t it? Not really, I still have a few year’s with my brother’s precious children. But somehow, it’s not the same… So, my girlfriend laughed at me (in love, I’m sure…) and you can too, but I am sappy like this. . . almost all the time.
I’m off to run Meals on Wheels. Tomorrow is Beate’s Sketch challenge…I can’t believe I’ve made everyday this week! See you tomorrow!
