Hello, my friends! I am finally here with my Challenge page! Can you believe I was late with this one? It was the first time ever! I'm not going to get into all the reasons why it's late...I'm just happy to be posting it!
Okay, you know I have to say it, don't you? This is one of my favorite hymns! lol For my choice of Scripture verse I pulled from the third verse of the song...
Okay, you know I have to say it, don't you? This is one of my favorite hymns! lol For my choice of Scripture verse I pulled from the third verse of the song...
"blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus, hear, O hear us when we pray;
blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus, hear, O hear us when we pray."
What a wonderful assurance we have that God hears our prayers...not only does He hear them but He answers them...according to His will! I love to pray, and I pray for all of you that pop in and visit me! Max Lucado says..."Prayer pushes us through life's slumps, propels us over the humps, and pulls us out of the dumps. Prayer is the oomph we need to get the answers we seek." :o)
I had fun coloring this sweet image of the praying girl. It's actually a Christmas stamp, so it was a little tricky to ink it up without getting any of the background! It's another image that reminds me of my girls when they were little...saying their bedtime prayers! I'm off to say mine now! :o)
Here's a closeup of the Scripture verse:

Your page is very pretty. Thank you for sharing the youtube - a nice version of the hymn which I was not familiar with when Patter gave us the challenge.
Hope your health is okay. God Bless You

The best part as ever is the wonderful scripture ,how wonderful that your page reminds you of your girls, how blessed they are to be covered in your prayers.
Beautiful page Nancy! I love this song and the reminder that God always answers prayer in His time. Love the little girl praying!
Wow, all I can say is Beautifully done, Nancy. That image is so precious. TFS... Hugs!!
Lovely Nancy! Did you teach handwriting in a school somewhere or did they just use yours as the example on those posters they put up in the schoolrooms? LOL I've never seen such precise cursive. :-)
I know I'm sure thankful that you pray for me. I'm praying or you too friend. :-) Have a fabulous weekend!

Hi Nancy: This is so stunning and just plain beautiful! I really hope you can stop by and join us at Word Art Wednesday soon. We are always SO blessed by your gorgeous work. Have a great weekend, and we hope to see you soon.
God's blessings to you,
Karen L, Word Art Wednesday
simply beautiful Nancy!
Have a great Sunday my Friend!
Hi, Nancy! I'm glad to see you again :-)
Sorry, I made a mistake in my previous comment, I had to delete it.
Thanks for your kind comment in my blog. You know, I think that God "always" answers our prayers. Sometimes He tells us: "yes", sometimes He tells us: "no", and sometimes He says: "wait". But He always answers.
Your pieces is as always so beautiful! Thanks for sharing it with us, dear. I hope you have a very pleasant Holy Week. God blees you! xoxo
