If it wasn't for the lighthouse...


Have you heard the song "The Lighthouse"?  Here are the words...

There's a Lighthouse on the hillside
That over looks life's sea
When I'm tossed it sends out a light
That I might see
And the light that shines in darkness now
Will safely lead us o'er
If it wasn't for the Lighthouse
My ship would be no more

And I thank God for the Lighthouse
I owe my life to Him
For Jesus is the Lighthouse
And from the rocks of sin
He has shown a light around me
That I could clearly see
If it wasn't for the Lighthouse
Where would this ship be?


Praying you have a blessed Easter and that you know that faith Jesus death, burial, and resurrection will give you salvation!!

We all need God's guidance daily, but this card is for a friend who especially needs it right now...


My DP is 7 Gypsies Journey.  The image is FTHS Lighthouse and colored with my Spectrum Noir markers.  It's cut out using Spellbinders A2 Matting Basic B.  Behind it, the brown was cut with Spellbinders Tile Works.  Offray ribbon, twine, and a basic button are my embellies.

Your card is so beautiful, Debbie! What a perfect sentiment to go with the image! You've coloured it so wonderfully well too.

Thanks for sharing the song. I've not heard it before so went on a hunt and listened to it on YouTube.

Happy Easter to you and your family!
