I'm putting this inside the card:
No tears past the Gate. Someone new has entered our eternal home above - the heavenly gate has opened to welcome one you love. We cannot help the tears that fall - our hearts need time to grieve when earthly life has ended and a loved one has to leave. Yet even in the saddest time, we know our Savior lives, and we can trust completely in the promise that He gives - that in a glad reunion with the Lord our loved ones wait to welcome us in joy with no more tears beyond the gate!
I found the above verse at Split coast stampers in a thread in their forum, where you can find a link for card sentiments.
On a Happier note, I found out that my card that I have posted below. Made the favorites thread for this week. I needed this happy news right now. Thank you so much...
While it's been not my favorite thing to do...Make Sympathy cards...it has been therapy for me this week. My husband lost his oldest sister to cancer on Friday. It has helped me to take my mind off of some of the sadness. I only have a few more to make, and then I hope to post Happier cards again.
Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers,
and for stopping by my blog today...
Blessings,
Jill

ReplyDeleteOh Jill it is always difficult to loose close family - may you know God's peace during this time. The card is so peaceful and the verse so appropriate.

Oh Jill, I'm so sorry about your sister-in-law. We have lost so many people to cancer in the last few years, and know so many people who are going through treatment now. It's such a terrible and scary thing.
ReplyDeleteI know she is watching over you as you put so much love into these beautiful cards, and is smiling down on you.
Congratulations on your Favorites for the week. Your card is also one of my favorites!
That's a great card with a beautiful sentiment. The stream of sympathy cards is long for me this month.....I found out another close friend lost her mother last week too. Congrats on the making the favs list - it's very pretty
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done (both cards) - I so see why the bottom one made the favorites - is it super beautiful. Love the path card as well - both showcase your talent and heart. Hugz!
