NEW Red Angel Card
Quote reads: “Remember that no thought of sin and suffering, of the approaching scorn and Crucifixion, ever prevented My seeing the beauty of the flowers. Look for beauty and joy in the world around.
Look at a flower until its beauty becomes part of your very soul. It will be given back to the world again by you in the form of a smile or a loving word...Let it sink into your soul.”
- Russell, A.J., editor. God Calling. Barbour Publishers, Mar. 12
