Over the past few years, I’ve learned from many of you that God hears our prayers and His answers usually come from ordinary people who choose to listen to His promptings. One of the most common e-mails I receive is people asking for ideas on how to help others. I’ve learned most people want to help, they just don’t know the best way to go about it.I LOVE this idea! it's brilliant. And of course I felt pretty humbled that she came to me for help. So we set up this service index, and now along with reading these inspiring (and insightful) stories, I get to create beautiful designs for you to enjoy and hopefully bless the lives of others with. that seriously fills my heart with joy!
After struggling to respond to every single e-mail, I realized there must be a better way to respond to a greater amount and people, and this is how the service index was born. I collaborate with people who have experienced the different trials listed below and create a post with what I learn from their experience. It's been eye opening, life changing, and made me a believer that no matter what the situation is, We Can Do Hard Things.
Today Ashley is featuring a post about losing a spouse (you can read it here). Besides being extremely touching (and making me sob-have your tissues ready!), it opened my eyes to ways that I wish I had helped one of my close girlfriends, when she went through something similar a few years ago. In the interview, Lisa mentions that she loved getting cards on particularly hard holidays such as Father's Day:
I also have wonderful friends who would remember that Father’s Day (and also Mother’s Day) is now particularly hard and would send us a card to let us know they were thinking about Aaron and what a great Dad he was.so Ashley thought it would be great to have two cards (one for Father's Day, one for Mother's Day), that you can print out and give to someone who may be needing it on those special days.
these are the quotes i came up with. they were special for me to design (all hand drawn), and i really hope they bring a smile to someone's face, and warm the hearts of your loved ones when they read your personal message inside.
