Daily encouragement for Christians
Are you a crafter or an artist? I have a friend who created a fantastic mosaic out of scrap paper to be the image of her two boys. It turned out to be a very realistic resemblance that she painstakingly put together one tiny piece at a time. She posted pictures so others could see. […]
