If you’re looking for something sweet to give a teacher or friend, take a look at this craft idea from Country Living magazine.
We made these this weekend at a friend’s house, and I couldn’t believe how easy they were to assemble! I am not normally a craft queen, so I was pretty excited to discover that even I could do this!
Only 13 more days until Christmas!
Soak up every minute you can with special memories!
When moments of stress or anxiety creep into your days, breathe deeply and remember the first Christmas gift………….
While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger….
Luke 2:6-7
If a Mason jar, artificial tree, and fake snow can thrill my Saturday, what should the gift of the Savior do to my soul???????
Thank you, Lord, for the best Christmas gift idea EVER.
Your gift changed the course of history, and we are thankful.
Forgive us when our gift-shopping overshadows Your Gift-giving.
Keep our hearts focused on You.
In Your Gift’s Name, Amen
In December of 2007 as our youngest son, Nick, was fighting brain cancer, I began to blog. Writing provided a way for me to release all of my questions, fears, and doubts. It also allowed me to share the ups and downs of Nick's journey with people who were praying for him all over the world. When Nick went Home in November of 2008, my blog became my way of searching for God in the midst of my deep heartache. My heart was broken and grief brought to the surface every emotion imaginable. Being able to release those emotions through my writing brought a sense of purpose to my pain. Having already walked the road of grief in 1992 when we lost our daughter to SIDS, I knew I needed a way to keep from falling into a pit of depression and despair. I had walked close to the edge of a bottomless pit when we lost our daughter,and I knew I couldn't let myself get that close to the edge again. This blog has been and continues to be my tiny corner of the world where I can share My Heart as I journey through God's Word.......thus the name........ My Heart His Words. Thank you for taking time to share life with me. If we do not meet while here on earth, I look forward to hearing all about your life when we reach our final destiny.........Heaven! Email me anytime at 
Good evening Tammy.
Those look like really cute ideas, I might have to try something similar tomorrow.
This is a tough day for me, dryer went out, no leads on the job front, my husband is having shoulder surgery on Thursday, and it’s only by God’s grace I haven’t slipped down that slippery slope of depression.
Judi, I am so sorry. I will be praying for you and your husband.
Why do tough things seem to happen at the same time?
I am praying for an easy-to-fix dryer, a great job offer, and an easy surgery.
I love the Psalm that says, “I waited patiently for the Lord, He turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.”
Judi, God hears you, and He will take care of you. He will give you a firm place to stand.
Love you,
Those are so stinkin cute! Did you ever find the info on those crafts you all made at the church together not long ago?
