Jesus Is The Reason: Resurrection Challenge Winner





Hello, dear friends!


Firstly, let me apologize again for not having my card ready to share with you. It is coming, I promise! Secondly, let me apologize for the delay in announcing the Jesus Is The Reason Challenge Winner! I'm so grateful for all 4 entries, which each spoke so strongly of the Lord's love & mercy, and so beautifully celebrated Jesus's sacrifice on the cross and the great cause for joy we as believers have because of it! He IS Risen! And because of His payment for our sins and victory over death, we can all experiences forgiveness and eternal life with the Lord! Hallelujah!



I hope you will also join me in celebrating God's grace and power, because He is able and I have seen even more proof: my mother accepted Christ as her Saviour on Sunday! I and many faithful friends have been praying for her heart to be softened and her eyes opened to the Light, and ever so faithfully, the Lord has answered this prayer! I can't even begin to describe for you the feeling I had watching her respond to the altar call. I was overwhelmed with joy and gratitude, to the point of tears and shaking. And to see my church family rejoice with both praise & hugs, was so touching. God is so great and I am so thankful for his loving grace! I pray that many more will have this amazing experience and know the peace and joy of eternal salvation!



Now, without further delay, the winner of the challenge is: SHELLY



And she has won this red rubber stamp called "A Gift for Ewe" (retired) from Victoria Case:




I love this stamp because it's so cute, and it can be used for Easter (the Lamb, Jesus, giving the greatest gift - forgiveness and redemption) and other occasions.


Shelly: Please contact me at ***catherinethepaperaddict (at) yahoo (dot) com*** with your mailing address, and I'll get this in the mail to you right away!



Thanks again to everyone who participated in this hop. I hope that for those of you who have not yet accepted the Lord into your heart, we have helped shine the Light of the Lord into your life and that you will take this opportunity to think more on what it is we are celebrating this Easter season. God bless you! (((HUGS)))
