I know that sometimes I fail miserably. I try to make the most of each day, but sometimes. . . . I'm just plain lazy. That's not a good use of my time. We're supposed to make the most of each day that God has given us - and we're supposed to do things that matter - things with eternal value. I keep this verse in my mind when I start to feel lazy, and God gives me the "push" I need to accomplish things for Him. Psalm 188:24 "This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoive and be glad in it."
I made this card last night based on a couple different challenges I wanted to enter. I needed it to fit the criteria for the various challenge requirements. I would love to hear your thoughts on it.

My goal for today is to make the most of this beautiful day God has given me. By the way, our precious Lily is home from college for Spring Break (for a whole week - yeah). I hope you are having a great day as well. Thanks so much for stopping by.
Blessings to you,
