Thankful for friends! 2 Are Better than One!


Welcome to Scrapbook News and Review Magazine's A Faith Perspective Thankful for Friends Faith Blog Hop. If you are just checking in on me you are in the right place LOL! I am participating in a blog hop!
Today, we're out in force on the internet -- showing our faith and giving the glory to God. United, we stand as Christian paper crafters and blog owners to make a presence on the internet for all to see. We're celebrating the theme of friends and we're happy to share our projects with you based on the verse:

"Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: If one falls down, his friend can help him up. " Ecc4:9-10a

If you came to my blog first, you can find the start of the train here: http://www.scrapbooknewsandreview.com/index.php?option=com_wrapper&view=wrapper&Itemid=100783. First, we would like to take a moment to thank our generous co-sponsors: Layers of Color Stamps, Gina K Designs Stamps and Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. Together with Scrapbook News and Review Magazine, these companies have donated some wonderful prizes for today's blog hop.

Prizes? Oh, yeah! There will be three lucky grand prize winners for today's event.

To enter, simply hop to the blogs of all of the participating staff members of Scrapbook News and Review Magazine, take note of the staff member's name, and leave a comment on their posts. Then send us an email atgames@scrapbooknewsandreview.com listing each of the staff members who participated in today's hop. It's that easy. All entries must be received by Monday, November 16, 2009 at 12 noon, EST and three winners will be randomly chosen to win.
What are the prizes?

One $100 gift certificate from Layers of Color Stamps AND a 6 month subscription to Scrapbook News and Review Magazine.
One basket of goodies -- four stamp sets from Gina K Designs and a 6 month subscription to Scrapbook News and Review Magazine.
One set of digital stamps from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps and a 3 month subscription to Scrapbook News and Review Magazine.
In addition, every participating staff member of Scrapbook News and Review Magazine will offer a free one-month subscription to the magazine to one of their lucky visitors by simply leaving a comment on their blog. That's a lot of chances to win, so let's get to the Hop!
Page one of two!Page two of two!!!Close up and journal ... If you can't read it it says:
Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work:
If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! Ecclesiastes 4:9-10


I cannot imagine where I would be without my friends. I have been blessed many times over by the generosity of my friends. Anybody who knows me knows that I have many acquaintances but few I call friends. It is an honor to know these friends and be a part of their lives. Over and over they share their hearts, time and possessions not only with me but with countless others. They truly understand what it is to be a friend and give with their whole heart. Their support has been immensely comforting in the tough times and it has been a pleasure to share their joy in the good times. I am continually overwhelmed with gratitude when I think about the people God has placed in my life.



This is from the Generosity kit at Scrapbooking From the Inside Out ! I couldn't just pick one friend so I made this lo about several friends...I hope that you come back and visit soon! Have fun on the Blog hop!
Next stop, visit Teresa Kline !
