It's the Prayer That Counts

Oh how I love to working walks to Emmaus.  I am working on the prayer team this time and I am creating a prayer calendar.  So, this is what I have been doing for the past few weeks.  It doesn't look like much but there are a lot of steps involved because I like to do things the hard way, that's why. 

So, here we go; the concept


The pretties {some of them}



The tools {most of them}


The fuel.

um, yummy, I think I get me one now.

The finished folder. 

Cuuute.  
Kind of a bright shabby chic thing, I think.

Anyway, it is the prayer that counts in a thing like this.  I have been so blessed to be pouring over scripture these past few weeks.  If I had to say what the one common thing is, it would be Christ.   I mean of course, but He is the common thread that has been woven though-out this thing.  His sacrifice for us and God's grace towards us.  He is the center of everything, who all things were created through and all things created for.  

Zephania 3:17
The LORD you God is with you, he is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you, he will rejoice over you with singing.
