SALT - abounding Grace

Here is the Salt challenge for the week...

This week it's my (Kim) turn to set the challenge and since I've had a song running through my head, "Grace by which I Stand", for the past few weeks, I chose:

God's grace

God provides us with a measure of grace each and every day, to face hardships, to grant us patience and forgiveness, to strengthen us in a time of temptation....but most importantly God's grace delivers us from the bondage of our sins by enabling us to trust in Christ as Savior. I am encouraged by this description of grace from D. Scott Meadows' booklet, "God's Astounding Grace" and pray that it might be a blessing to you as well:

"The word grace is a kind of shorthand for the whole sum of unmerited blessings, which come to men through Jesus Christ. Primarily, it describes what we, for want of a better expression, have to call a "disposition" in the Divine nature; and it means the unconditioned, undeserved, spontaneous, eternal, stooping, pardoning love of God."

Amen and Amen! Surely, God's free gift of grace can cause us to sing His praises each and every day!

This is a quote a friend gave me on a bookmark years ago. It has always stayed with me and is very precious.

Found this frame in a charity shop, it had some decorative flowers in it so I took them out, I like it because it's a boxframe, so the contents sit back from the glass allowing for 3D items.

Can you spot the mistake? I've since rectified it, but not taken new photos.

Do you like it?

I've even designed a "bottomer" as well as a header!

Inspired by Bety...

I love blog hopping, and one blogger that never fails to delight me with her creations is Bety.

My sister gave me the flowers, tag and thin ribbon ages ago, and whilst I was sorting some paper out today I found them, the flowers reminded me of Bety's creations so I've made something inspired by her work...

I added the sentiment "friend" to the tag.

Ingredients:
PP from unknown, flowers and tag courtesy of Esther. Friend stamp by Stampin Up! Swirl stamp by HOTP.
