GROWING IN UNITY - DAY 5

Today is my final entry for the UNITY STAMP COMPANY.  It has been my pleasure to show you some of my creations and I thank them for allowing me to do so.

However,

It is with sadness in my heart as my wonderful uncle passed away on Wednesday night and he will be buried tomorrow - Christmas Eve day.

I can't imagine what my cousins are going through right now or my dad who lost his youngest brother two years ago at Thanksgiving. 

My dad is the oldest of three boys.  They all served our country during WWII.  My dad - MARINES; uncle Richard - NAVY and Uncle Rodger - ARMY.  It still amazes me that they all served overseas in three different branches of the military and they all made it back alive.

Well...here's my card for today.  I knew I had to use this wonderful stamp (Almighty God) for one of my projects this week....a reminder of what CHRISTMAS is really all about.

BLESSINGS to you and your family.
