Friends of Faith - SNR Blog Hop

Welcome to Scrapbook News and Review Magazine's A Faith Perspective Thankful for Friends Faith Blog Hop! Today, we're out in force on the internet -- showing our faith and giving the glory to God. United, we stand as Christian paper crafters and blog owners to make a presence on the internet for all to see. We're celebrating the theme of friends and we're happy to share our projects with you based on the verse:

"Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: If one falls down, his friend can help him up. " Ecc4:9-10a

The card I'm sharing today is all about friendship and fellowship. Over the past 2 years, I've realized that God places specific people in our lives at specific times according to His purpose. It may start by sharing a cup of coffee and opening our hearts to one another, or through papercrafting. Through these friendships, He teaches us and draws us ever closer to Him. Before long, we discover that friendship has become fellowship, and where there is fellowship, there is God. What a blessing! Thank you, Lord!

The next stop on this blog hop is: Angella and you will not be dissapointed with the work of art she has to share with you.

Thanks for hopping and God Bless!

How true this is. God has so blessed me with these friendships and has surrounded me with friends He knows can either help me or I can help them on their walk. Whatever the case may be, I know these people have been put in my life for a reason and I'm very blessed to have them.
