A precious thing to know that you are loved. This well known Bible verse, John 3:16 captures God’s love for all of us completely. His love will never be changed or taken away.

Encouraging words for the new year!
Print a copy {Here}
A new year’s resolution … or not? Personally, I tend to stay away from doing that because the chance of me sticking to it will be short. As a result, I decided to create a mini bulletin board full of encouraging words to share. I first thought about making this for my kids to have and post it where they could see it often. The messages they hear and see on the internet, television and other medias can be negative and discouraging. This is my little way to lift their spirits and let them know that they are special to us.
Start the new year with a fresh positive attitude!
.
Here I’ve slipped the printed paper with inspiration words inside the 3-ring binder plastic cover.
Print a copy {Here} for yourself or to share with others.
I hope this will be encouraging for you in 2014!

Christmas is the celebration of the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
“For God so loved the world, that He gave his one and only Son, that whomever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)
Wishing you and your love ones a Merry Christmas!

I was a little surprised to see some retail stores decorating for Christmas in October {just a bit too early for me}. Now that December is upon us, I am ready to move forward and into the Christmas season. The first thing our family decided to do after Thanksgiving was to go and get our Noble Fir Christmas tree. It’s now in our house with lights and decorated with ornaments. Our house will be in the decorating and cleaning stage for awhile longer. Here’s a little glimps of what’s going on.
.
I always look forward to opening the Christmas bins and rediscovering all the things again. To see my kids find excitement and talk about what they uncovered was great to be a part of. The picture of the pine tree and a bible verse, “For unto us a Child is born” was a printable I created last year for a blog post, Christmas quotes. I reduced the size of the image to fit the matte and frame for the display. {to print, click HERE}.

A simple felt wreath. (diy, here…}
.
One of my favorite methods to wrap presents is by layering the gifts and using clear cello wrap to tie all of it together. The cello adds a little sparkle to the gift and gives a sneak peek of what’s inside.
.
The morning temperatures have been low and cold enough to put a blanket of frost outside. These beautiful little berries looked quite delicate with a layer of frost on them.
.
Homemade cranberry relish with pear & orange is a favorite of our family. This year I decided to preserve the relish and give it as gifts for Christmas. The packaging was easy and fast using what I already have around the house {brown lunch bags, rubber bands, double sided tape and labels printed from the computer}. continue reading…

How are you preparing for the Christmas season?

It’s wonderful to see on Pinterest, Facebook, Tumblr, and other websites of what people are thankful for. Somedays are harder than others, but like one quote I’ve seen again and again, “There is Always something to be Thankful for.” So true. This is my November inspiration board with pictures, quotes and found objects that I’ve gathered together to remind me of the wonderful things in my life.
Have fun using these printables of thankful thoughts, quotes and Bible verses. Post them on a bulletin board/ refrigerator, hang it on the wall or attach the little tags onto packages.

I find myself here at my desk almost everyday filing things, updating the family calendar, or sorting through mail. And every now and then I will glance up at the bulletin board and be reminded of what I am thankful for.
.
I am thankful for my loving, unchanging mighty God, my Counselor, and above all He is my heavenly Father.
Share with us what you are Thankful for!
