This one is for one of my dearest friends who lost his father this week. His dad was a man who had a big smile and such a warm heart; a man who has left an incredible legacy of faith, not only for his family but for the faith community. He was deeply loved and will be missed.In pondering the process of making cards, especially under these kinds of circumstances, I realized that the greatest gift I can offer are my prayers and thoughts while I create.
It's therapeutic for me in that I begin to process my own grief during these moments. But perhaps more importantly, I am able to use the time to lift the family - my friend in particular - in prayer.
May the God of all comfort be especially close to him and his family during these days of grief and sorrow.

This is a very nicely made sympathy card for a man.
You are right...these are always cards that are difficult to make...and I need to make one this week.
I found your blog through the "Daily flutter" group at Split coast!
This is beautiful! I do the same thing, I pray for the recipient while I create a get well or sympathy card. I like the flourishes holding the sentiment! Beautiful!
I find it comforting that creating cards can also be a way to offer prayers and support.
