Giving Thanks for His Word

This card contains pieces of scripture, vintage design elements, mixed papers, ink, paint, and a miniature painting of Jesus speaking with his apostles during his earthly ministry. He left us his word, the Gospels, which we can pick up at any time and find endless sustenance, comfort, and peace. He is always with us, we are always within his gaze. But he is humble and gentle and he waits; lovingly, patiently, and mercifully he awaits us to approach him first.
