HOPE HULL, Ala (BNc) — Kathryn Loftin has found a unique way to use her talents and serve the Lord. For 20 to 25 years she has used paper, sewing machine, ribbons, glue, buttons, scriptures, and a personal message right from her heart to produce the most beautiful greeting cards you may ever see.
Kathryn is a very quiet and humble Christian who grew up in the Cedar Grove Church of Christ in Andalusia, Alabama. Today, she attends the Liberty congregation in Hope Hull, Alabama. When I expressed a desire to write an article about her beautiful card ministry, she stressed she wanted no praise for her work because she does it for the glory of God. For that reason, she has no desire to sell her work to big name card companies. Instead, she always listens for someone’s name who is sick or needs encouragement. Then she lovingly spends hours creating her one-of-a-kind cards. She pays for her own supplies and postage and spends a lot of time in the Bible, looking for just the right scripture to include in her cards. People who are fortunate enough to receive one of Kathryn’s cards are often hesitant to discard it and keep it for years.
What a beautiful ministry, and what a great example of Ecclesiastics 9:10 which says, “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might…”
