Hello everyone,
It's been a month, a long month.... which has changed the way I think and all that I take for granted. My grandmother would always say, "whatever happens ..happens for our good"...so I shall believe ..always...
Feb 26th...a grey icy winter day, a day I shall never forget as long as I live..my husband was in a car accident. It was a long seven hour drive before I could see him . The rest is nothing short of a miracle. By the grace of God, he has slowly recovered and is now back to work, albeit with certain setbacks that usually come with such an incident which only time can heal. This event has taught us a lot and shown us what mental strength and will power can do. It brought to light a side of me that I thought never existed and most importantly it reiterated my belief in miracles..... because anything can happen!
Just two days after he got home, I started to feel under the weather and unfortunately am yet to get out of it completely, but then I thought it was time I posted an update.
I had made this card right before all of this happened and had not gotten a chance to share it here, there is no better day than today to post this card. I would like to thank all of you who sent me wishes and emails...they were deeply appreciated.
This card was supposed to be a tutorial with stepped out pictures, which I, unfortunately, am not in a position to share today. If anyone is interested, do leave me a comment and I will add those pics later this week. It has been colored using Spectrum Aqua, Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and Spectrum Noir colored pencils. The sentiment is gold embossed.
Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope to get back to my regular posting soon!
oh my goodness, how terrifying for your family! but God is so very good, all the time. yes, miracles do occur. so thankful healing has taken place! prayers that you will be back to feeling better soon. shouting Hallelujah over here! :)
ReplyDeleteand such a lovely card you have featured today, too!
Oh Sanketi.....do take care & praying all will be good soon, yes miracles do happen!!! Thank you for sharing such a beauty with us today!
ReplyDeleteOh no! I'm sorry to hear about it, but glad to hear
ReplyDeletethat he is doing better! It's funny how much adrenaline
and necessity can make us into people that we never
had to be before! Once the necessity is done, our bodies
sometimes have a delayed reaction to all of the stress
that we experience and we get sick.
Take your time, relax and breathe.
Your card is pure loveliness, as usual :-)
Thank you so much for sharing your story and your stunning card! Glad that you and your husband are recovering from his terrible accident. Take as much time as you need.....we'll be here.

Thank you for sharing this tragic event with us. We admire your work and for you to have us share in your pain is a blessing to us to be included. Praise the Lord that he is recovering.Prayer is the most comforting words we can give to each other and that can bring you comfort and encouragement. There is a wonderful Christian song writer and singer named Laura Story. After she was married, her husband was in a horrible accident and suffered brain damage. She wrote a song called What if Blessings came through tear drops. She performed this in concert and told her story. From this accident and good recovery, she now has an adorable little girl. I would hope that if you heard her song, you would feel her encouragement.

ReplyDeleteThis is a very elegant and beautiful card.
I'm so sorry to hear about your hardships. Wishing you and your husband all the best . . .
ReplyDeleteJust now getting back to visiting blogs since I started working. Not a whole lot of time, but I meant to check in to see if you had updated your blog letting us know what happened. My goodness, life is full of challenges isn't it? I will be lifting you both up in prayer to continue to see miracles which really is the hand of God. What a praise your husband has lived through such a challenge and for you as well. Thank you so much for sharing your intimate life with us-I thank you for the testimony! And how I have missed your beautiful handiwork...so nice to see it once again!
