Last day for GROWING IN UNITY - Miracles Happen

Wow, can't believe this week is over. I have been having too much fun sharing GROWING IN UNITY with you. My last project has special meaning to me. The image I used was Phyllis Harris image. MIRACLES HAPPEN 
When you look up Miracles in the dictionary you should see a picture of my niece Abby. She is truly a miracle. Shortly after birth we found out that Abby was going to be different from most children. Drs. weren't sure if she would be able to walk and they weren't very hopeful that she would learn to talk. But by persistent work by my sister and by Abby, and especially with God's help she is proving the doctors wrong. She can walk, and she can talk. She will probably have severe struggles the rest of her life, but there is one thing that you can say about her, is she has a heart of love. She loves people and she loves God. She gets super excited just to get to go to church. This image reminds me so much of Abby so I had to make it into a card to send to her.

I hope it is a reminder to all of us to be thankful for the little miracles that we have in our lives that we might not even be aware of or that we might so easily take advantage of.
Thanks for visiting my blog this week. You have until the end of today to leave a comment on my cards to have the chance to win UNITY stamps. I will pick the winner and announce them tomorrow on my blog.
