Recently I attended a daylong women's conference. At our plates for lunch, we each had a card from the "YOUR ARE..." campaign. A box of 25 cards was available for purchase. I bought a box and am sharing the writings a couple at a time with our Sunday School class each week.

Here is a card which I am sharing with Karen's Korner readers today:

"You are incredibly valuable to the Lord's plans for a nation. He has poured into you aspirations to improve the lives of those you see. You have a compassionate heart and a creative spirit that can make bad things good and good things great. Do not underestimate your abilities....what you think is insignificant is extremely significant to your purpose. Those things that you enjoy are those things you are to pursue. Keep your eyes focused on what's right and turn from the nay-sayers who want to discourage you. God has a purpose and a plan for you that is SPECTACULAR!!!"
