So... why is this card part of the Family Collection?
There is something delightfully safe about how direct and cheery this little bunny is.

This little guy knows he belongs.
Getting specific...
What's the occasion (or non-occasion)?
Accompanying a gift for a couple (anniversary or wedding)
Think about how the couple creates space for each other. Like the rabbit surrounded by thriving clovers, their relationship isn't just about surviving together but flourishing.
Consider how they:
- Make space for each other's dreams to take root
- Adapt and evolve together through different seasons
- Support each other's individual growth while strengthening their shared roots
- Create an environment where vulnerability leads to deeper connection
For an alternative take, consider how four-leaf clovers represent something precious and uncommon. This theme invites reflection on:
- The rare combination of personalities, values, and timing that brought them together
- The remarkable odds of finding someone who truly sees and understands you
- How they've invested in their own future through intentional choices and commitment
- The everyday miracles that happen when two people choose each other again and again
- The genuine treasure of having a witness to your life journey
Expression of friendship 'just because'
This card carries a quiet, heartfelt message: You are seen. You are loved. You belong. It’s perfect for a note that says, “I’m thinking of you,” without needing a big reason. Consider writing about:
- The comfort of their friendship. Like a rabbit finding home among the clovers, their presence makes life feel warmer, steadier.
- The rare gift of a true friend. Four-leaf clovers are unexpected and precious—what about their friendship feels like a rare blessing in your life? Write about that.
- A reminder that they matter. Even on ordinary days, even when life is busy, they are deeply valued.
Commemorating something fortuitous - blessing, providence or 'luck'
This card speaks to those moments when fortune finds us—not through striving, but through some invisible thread of grace.
Think about the gentle discovery that happens when something arrives not through force but through alignment:
- That moment of humble recognition: "This wasn't my doing" and the responsibility to honour the opportunity.
- How recognizing providence doesn't diminish your effort but puts it in context.
- The way certain blessings invite us to sit down and be still for a moment, and grateful.
For example:
I keep thinking about the quiet dignity in how you've received this unexpected blessing—neither dismissing it nor grabbing it too tightly. Some might call it luck. But I've watched how you've lived—the ground you've prepared, the space you've held open.
Arrival of a new little life...
A new life is a quiet miracle—full of promise, belonging, and the love of those who will cherish them. The rabbit in the card feels like a little one safe in a world of abundance, a perfect image for welcoming a baby. You might reflect on:
- The wonder of this tiny life. How incredible it is that this baby has arrived, bringing joy simply by existing.
- The way love grows. A new baby expands the meaning of home, reshaping what it means to belong. This family will never be the same—in the best possible way.
- The journey ahead. This child will grow, learn, and become their own person. What blessings and hopes do you have for them?
A mentor's message to a mischievous child
Encouragement from a mentor plants seeds that take time to grow. This card’s gentle imagery is a perfect way to remind a young person that they are supported and seen. You might reflect on:
- Their potential. Like clovers growing wild, they are becoming something beautiful, even if they don’t see it yet.
- Their belonging. The rabbit suggests safety and understanding—assure them that they are valued exactly as they are.
- The adventure ahead. They don’t have to have it all figured out. Growth comes with time, and they are already on their way.
Wishing someone good luck for a new venture
Stepping into something new is both exciting and uncertain. This card, with its abundance of clovers, feels like a reminder that they are stepping into something good—something that will grow. Consider writing about:
- Their readiness. Even if they doubt it, they have what they need to step into this next chapter.
- The unknown as opportunity. Life changes bring uncertainty, but also possibility—new joys, new learning, new ways to thrive.
- The people who stand behind them. No matter where they go, they are supported.
Humour is mankind's greatest blessing.
Mark Twain
Reflections...

Safety & Belonging
Belonging isn’t always instant or effortless. Sometimes, it’s a hard-won feeling—the result of years of learning who you are and finding the people who see you fully. Other times, it sneaks up on you, found in the middle of an ordinary moment: a deep sigh after a long day, a friend who doesn’t need you to explain, the warmth of a well-worn routine. Real belonging isn’t about fitting in—it’s about knowing you can be yourself.
-
Gifting & Abundance
Not every season of life feels full. Sometimes, blessings are easy to spot—other times, they’re buried under exhaustion, heartache, or the sheer weight of getting through the day. But abundance isn’t about everything going right; it’s about noticing what’s still good. A kind word, a moment of quiet, a deep belly laugh—small things, maybe, but real ones. And sometimes, that’s enough to keep going.
-
Mischief & Cheer
Life isn’t always lighthearted. Some days feel endless, responsibilities pile up, and laughter is the last thing on your mind. But even in the heaviest moments, there’s room for a little mischief—the kind that reminds you you’re still alive. A well-timed joke, an unexpected adventure, a rule bent just enough to make things interesting. Joy doesn’t have to be loud, but it does have to be noticed.

How I might use the planner for the Cheeky Rabbit Card....
Hypothetical Situation
A good friend is moving to a new city for a job opportunity that's both exciting and intimidating. They've accepted the position but are feeling a mix of anticipation and anxiety about the big change.
Planning Process Step-by-Step
1: See the Person

- Their current situation: Leaving the comfort of familiar surroundings and community
- What's important to them: Building new connections while maintaining their authentic self
- Role in my life: Someone whose courage I've always admired, even when they don't see it themselves
2: Check My Heart
- Genuine appreciation: Their willingness to take meaningful risks
- Something I've noticed: They often find their footing in unexpected places
- Truth in my heart: I believe they possess a natural ability to create home wherever they land
- Authentic feeling: A mixture of pride and a genuine belief that this move will yield unexpected blessings
3: Filter for Helpfulness
- Would this help them?: Yes - acknowledging both excitement and uncertainty validates their complex feelings
- Does it serve them?: Yes - reminding them of their capacity to create belonging would strengthen them for the journey
- Right context?: Yes - a card accompanying a small housewarming gift creates space for encouragement without pressure
Final Message
Sarah,
There's something wonderfully fitting about this little rabbit making a home in an unexpected teapot. I thought of you immediately—how you've always had this remarkable ability to create belonging wherever you land.
I know this move feels equal parts exhilarating and terrifying. Big leaps usually are. But I've watched you navigate enough of life's plot twists to know this: where you plant yourself, good things grow. Not because you're lucky, but because you're attentive to the soil around you.
The world needs more people willing to pour themselves into new places. I know you'll build something really wonderful there.
Rooting for you from here,
Cass
How I Applied the Method
This message is grounded in reality—acknowledging the genuine mix of emotions that come with major life transitions. Rather than offering empty platitudes about "exciting new adventures," it recognizes both the courage required and the person's specific capacity to create home in new contexts.
The card's imagery of a rabbit finding home in an unconventional place (teapot) surrounded by symbols of good fortune (clovers) provided the perfect metaphor for someone stepping into new territory. The message builds authentic connection by seeing both their courage and their vulnerability, offering encouragement that's specific to who they are, not generic positivity.
The earthiness comes through in grounding the encouragement in reality—focusing on their actual capacity to create belonging, rather than promising that everything will magically work out.
Young men, trust God, and make the future bright with blessing. Old men, trust God, and magnify Him for all the mercies of the past.
