Life is tough - Masculine Card

Hello Friends!   I hope everyone is doing well and staying warm.  Although, some of us are staying too warm.  The weather is so crazy in US right now with cold freezing weather and snow on the East coast and hot weather on the West coast.  

I created a one layer card for a friend of mine who is going through a really rough time.  I would appreciate prayers for Jason, for those of you who are willing to pray for him.  He really needs all the prayers and support he can get right now.  At times like this, I feel so helpless.  It is hard to be in a situation where you cannot help a friend; but I always turn to prayer when that happens.

I would also like to ask for prayers for my 15 yr. old grandson, Jayden.  He is a really good kid; but was living in an apartment where there were a lot of rough kids and he got into some trouble.  He is the only boy they are going after for something he was bullied into doing. 

He has to go to court sometime in the next month or two; and was required to have an attorney; so that doesn't sound too good.  He lives in FL and they are very tough on everyone in that state.  He needs to learn to make better decisions going forward.  He has been a diabetic since 4 yrs. old and has always had trouble fitting in at school.  He is bullied and made fun of all the time.  I am not making excuses for him; but it explains his behavior of following the leader and wanting to be part of a group.

Here is the card I created.  I watched a video from Jackie Bolhuis; which is where I got the idea.  Here is the link to her video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMEryedtKTE&feature=youtu.be.
