Just as Christ was raised
from the dead
through the glory of the Father
we too may live
a new life.

He is Risen!
Decorations are hung. Twinkle lights everywhere.
Temps still in the 60’s. Merry Christmas!
How is it in your corner of the world?
At the moment, I’m working on getting everything most things (who am I kidding?)
finished by the end of the week so I can spend some
happy restful time with the family
minus my usual and ever-present “to-do list.”
Wouldn’t that be nice?
Let’s make it happen, shall we?
So, first things first …
We have not one, two, or even three, but four winners to announce
from all the hope ink giveaways!
1. Visalia Christmas Boutique: Katie B.
2. Bridge Mops Boutique: Elizabeth P.
3. Hope Ink Blog #1: Jen (comment 10)
4. Hope Ink Blog #2: Maria V. (comment 6)
Congrats, ladies!
I’ll be emailing all of you, unless you beat me to it 😉
If you missed out on these, Beth over at Red & Honey
is hosting another hope ink giveaway,
but hurry –it’s only open till Wednesday!
Secondly, the hope ink shop will be closing its doors this Sunday
for the rest of December.
So, yes, this week is your last chance to order Christmas gifts
or something hope ink-ish for the rest of the year.
All orders received by Sunday will ship in time for Christmas!
{ And you can use code SHIPFREE for free domestic shipping }
Thirdly, I have had so many of you ask about these plates
and I promised I’d let you know when they finally made it into the shop …
I only have a limited number of them, so when they’re gone, they’re gone!
Each one is lettered by hand,
which of course is my favorite thing to do.
(It’s the finding time bit that’s always a challenge.)
So, if you can’t live without one, snag it now (before Sunday, remember?)
Finally, here’s a two free Christmas printables just for you …
Merry, merry Christmas, friends!
May the Lord richly bless your celebrations of Him.
Thanksgiving is coming, Thanksgiving is coming!
Are you looking forward to a time to rest and reflect and just be. thankful.
For everything He’s blessed us with?
I know how easy it is to get caught up in the busy-ness (nay, full-on stress –or is that just me?) of preparing for a holiday. Thinking everything has to be just-so. Worrying about the million and one urgent items that seem to pile up on the to-do list.
And even skipping over the thankfulness and contentment part and moving straight on to strategizing for the next -bigger- holiday where we all must buy more things. Jumping right back into the whirlwind of crazy (or never leaving in the first place).
So, here’s the cure. Ready?
Come before Him. With true thanks-giving.
Bow down in worship.
Kneel.
Before the Lord. Your Maker.
Because He’s the great King.
He owns the earth, the sea, every single mountain peak.
We’re His sheep. His flock.
And don’t miss those last little three words …
“under His care.”
Be content in that. Give thanks that He is the great God above every crazy thing.
And you are in HIS care.
So, so much to be thankful for.
PS: I got downright teary illustrating this Scripture -thinking about how amazing He is and how loved we are, as His children. I would love for you to take some time with your kiddos (or just you) reflecting on these words as you color one for yourself.

Then print one -or ten- and remember how great He is. And how loved you are.

Thankful today that God’s Words are eternal.
That we don’t have to wonder if He means what He says.
Or that He’ll suddenly go back on His promises.
His Word is secure, solid, unchanging.
Forever.
