It has been a very busy time. The funeral of my MIL took place last week - it was a beautiful good-bye to her, although very sad, and the thought of having to miss her.. just for who she was, is hard. I have visitors staying in our home until tomorrow for meetings for the Missionary work we do here in France. A time of sharing and prayer but also enjoyment and laughter... for everything on earth there is a time, says Proverbs in the Bible.
I did manage to make a quick card from the scrap basket that I can share today.
And I was very lucky that this butterfly stayed sitting on this flower without moving while I took a shot.
I will try my best to visit the blogs in the coming days!! Hope you are all well!

ReplyDeletehi Jacqueline,
ReplyDeleteI really thought a lot about you and your family.
For me it was a hard week too.
my really good friend lost her mother .she had cancer, and the end was so quick.
she asked me to sing 3 pieces at the funeral.
this was one of the hardest things to do in my life, because i knew the mother also.
But i had the strength to do it, and was happy that the family was so grateful.
tha day after (yesterday ) i sang another concert.
today i will have to rest and search for new energy.
Sending warm thoughts and prayers to you!!
Franziska
