CREATiVE artist trading cards (ATC)
What’s nice about ice?
Are you imposed by illness, imagining intervention, ignored, insulted, infested by insects, or in a self-inflicted meltdown?
Have you ever wondered how long cold or warmth will last? The off-and-on slow drips of an icicle may have a purpose: to remind us to reflect on God’s steady patience—a fruit of the Spirit. At times, ice helps relieve pain and aids healing; yet, other times heat works best. Gradual repetitive nature—such as the transition of February to August—indicates that each step is a gift to cherish, yet not idolize or immortalize. An individual’s conception, infancy into infinity, each season of life interacts with the next, ignited by the faith which impacts incredible improvement of integrity.
Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; Psalm 37a (read/listen to entire chapter)
Front 6-of-20 in series of ATCs

| ATC inspired by FreshRetroGallery Prompts under the “I” column, made from crumbled aluminum foil formed into icicle shapes reflecting inky darkness and white light upon angular, blended, messy splatter bordered with a shredded edge of a spiral bound paper. |
Life’s order of creation isn’t in human control.
Winter adjusts to summer by way of spring. Icy snow thaws to streams of water washing away dirt that’s been transformed to mud. Thankfully, the mercy of our interceding Creator has made everything beautiful in its time for a purpose (Ecclesiastes 3). I pray you invest time to immerse yourself in the infallible Word which will increase the faith and influence how you intelligently impress its importance to illuminate others.
