God’s Goal Soccer Thank You Card

Some people have a wonderful way of aiming straight for the heart.

Our Hearts Are God’s Goal combines soccer-inspired artwork with a playful expression of faith. It’s for the player, coach, fan, friend, or thoughtful person whose kindness and generosity deserve to be cheered.

The design began with an unexpected gift box from a friend, filled with red, white, and blue celebration gifts. I could feel the joy he put into choosing everything, and that thoughtfulness stayed with me.

The phrase isn’t a quotation from Scripture. It’s my playful reflection on love, generosity, encouragement, and the way God works within our hearts.

This flat 5 × 7 micro art greeting stands on its own when the lower bookmark section is folded underneath. There’s space on the back for your message. When the recipient is ready, the greeting can be separated into 5 × 5 frame-worthy art and a 2 × 5 tasseled bookmark.

You’ll Receive

• One 5 × 7 flat micro art greeting card gift
• Hand-finished by Joy
• Printed on textured watercolor paper
• One coordinating 2 × 5 detachable bookmark with silk tassel
• One coordinating Scatter Joyfulness vinyl sticker
• One hand-embossed envelope
• Space on the back for your handwritten message
• U.S. shipping included in the listed price

Only 12 cards of this design will ever be made.

Three Joyful Uses

1. Greet

Write your message on the back and thank someone for their kindness, encourage a player or coach, or share a playful reminder of faith.

2. Display

Fold the lower bookmark section underneath so the complete greeting stands on its own for display.

3. Keep

When the recipient is ready, cut along the designed division. The top becomes 5 × 5 frame-worthy art, while the lower section becomes a 2 × 5 tasseled bookmark.

Gift Pairing Ideas

These ideas are for shoppers creating their own coordinated gift. Pairing items are not included and aren’t available with direct-to-recipient mailing.

• Ask teammates to sign a soccer ball or write short messages about the difference their coach or player made
• Create a “Goals Scored in Kindness” jar filled with notes naming ways the recipient has encouraged others
• Pair it with a personalized water bottle, soccer socks, equipment bag tag, or cheerful sideline blanket
• Add favorite game-day snacks or tuck it into a red, white, and blue care package
• Include tickets to a soccer match or an invitation to watch a favorite team together
• Bring treats to a team gathering and stand the card beside them as a tribute to someone worth cheering
