Getting back to...

...penning words of encouragement that

occupy a little bit of space in that mail bag to...

in-turn, occupy the heart spaces of another.

These past few weeks have a been a wonderful reminder of how the words of

another can so greatly uplift, encourage, and put salve over our weary and torn hearts.

I have been so greatly blessed by the actions and words of others here on-line 

and in the paths I walk each day!

A kind act in the gift of a watermelon.

The handmade card in the mail.

The words scrolled across the twitter feed and straight into my heart.

I've decided...

I'm getting back to sending words of encouragement,

little notes dropped into the slot of our quaint post office,

to travel the miles and sometimes entire states to those I love.

It is something I used to do... all the time.

Without hesitation.

Full of love.

That is why I was so excited when Dayspring sent me a pack of their 

Redeemed All Occasion cards to review.

They are full of inspiration, encouragement, and they are cute!

This being my favorite one...

I've decided that I'm going to send these cards out to those 

who have encouraged me through this change,

and to those who may need encouraging.

These cards truly are...

salve for the heart and soul.

This Thanksgiving I am reminded of The One who holds my life in His Hands.

The One who walks with me each day...

He who promised He will never leave nor forsake me.

And, as I slow down this Thanksgiving from the gift of teaching young lives day by day,

I will remember to 

"Give Thankfulness to God."

It is in the giving of thanks that we see the joy, the love, of our Father over us.

I love to fill my home with meaningful items and words that point me to the One who is.

Words that remind me to Give Thanks.

Give Thanks In All, For All.

I love this beautiful Ever Grateful-Reversible Table Runner from DaySpring.

The colors are gorgeous and will match any decor.

The Flowers and Ruffles on the side are perfect.

The message...

ever-lasting.

I love how it works on a table where we gather to give thanks and break bread.

 

It also works great on a buffet for a get-together with family, friends, or a small group.

One of my favorite places is in my living room draped across my coffee table.

A daily, constant reminder to give thanks.

It goes perfect with my Ever Grateful Vase.
