Pancake Tuesday

The youth group that I attend, had pancakes today because today is Pancake Tuesday, also known as Shrove Tuesday. Here is a quick peek at some of the beautiful food that we were blessed with.













 


I am  thankful for gift of different tastes, the sweet and sours, the vibrant colours, and for the community that was made while we made the pancakes. I am also thankful for what Pancake Tuesday leads to,... lent, Easter, but as the bigger picture here, that...

 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16.

Take A Second Glance

You see them almost everyday, but step back and to take a second glance... they are little gifts that God gives us to show us how much he truely loves us. All made by Him, here for us.

Snowflakes, so small, each comes down seperatly, but together they create something much more. 


When a snowflake falls, nobody can tell it where to land, and it becomes that piece of decoration to something else.


Plaid... Stripes.... Adds design to your day.


Each and everyone is different.



Made by a creator, as were we, intricately woven together.

Peaceful Comforts

This is a new journey that I am branching out on. I am starting a blog. But this blog has meaning to me, there is a reason behind it, and a reason to pursue it.
First I'll give a bit of background. I am teenager, and I go to a great youth group that is filled with people that have helped me become the person that I am today, because of their words, their faith in God, and their faith in me to grow and advance in my walk with God. Our youth group had a S.H.A.P.E. weekend and it was for us youth to learn about our Spiritual gifts, and one of my top ones is Creative Ability. Then we were challenged to do something with our gift, and I have decided that I want to take pictures or draw pictures of where I see little gifts from God, then instead of keeping them to myself, I plan to post them here
Now I come the the name of my blog, "Peaceful Comforts" I like to look at it this way... When I am given a gift from God, I also see it as little pieces of God's grace, and to me that strikes a relaxing and soothing feeling. So that makes me feel comfortable and peaceful, therefore I combined them and Volia!, now you have Peaceful Comforts!
So all in all, I hope that you enjoy these gifts just as much as I enjoy them!
