I Am Never Alone!

There it stands, one lone little yellow tulip, all alone and standing tall. I have no idea how that tulip got to where it did in my garden. I have lived here in this house for over five years. It wasn't there when we got here. I didn't plant it there. How did that one, lonely little tulip get to where it is? It is beautiful, but looks so lonely all by itself.

I am so happy that I can say I am never alone like that little tulip. That is one thing I am never thankful enough for. I can say without a doubt that Christ is always with me. He promised that. Matthew 28:20b says. "lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Hebrews 13:5b says, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." I can't think of another person who I know that without a doubt will be able to say that and keep it. We all have good intentions towards our friends and families, but none of us can promise we will be there always. Way too often things happen and get in the way and we let each other down. That is something my Lord will never do. He never has. He never will!

So when I made this card a while back I had no idea what it would mean to me when I pulled it out to use it. There it stood, one lone little yellow tulip on a simple card I intended to use for a birthday. The Lord speaks to us and reminds us of things in some amazing ways, even through our stamping.

The background is done with the Cuttle Bug Swiss Dots embossing folder. I stamped the image with Stazon and water colored it. The pearls on the side are some brads I found in a clearance bin and have been saving to use on just the right projects. I think they worked.

The dear sweet 83 year old lady I gave the card to was thrilled to receive it. I was blessed by her reaction when she opened it. She has shown it around and around. How sweet!!

I am so thankful that I can be reminded of a very basic fact, I am never alone. Never!! I hope you can say that and mean it. Thanks for stopping by.
