We're approaching the gift-giving season and the enchanting season of Christmas. When I was a little girl Christmas was wrapped in happy moments and tied with magical memories. I was blessed to have parents who also valued the beauty of Christmas. Present day, and as an adult I still have those Merry Christmas feelings like I did when I was a kid. Don't ever lose that. It's an important foundation for your adult life meant to share with your children and grandchildren. It's not always about the gifts either, but rather your unique way of sharing your love that only you can do. God made only one of you; don't ever lose sight of that.
I'm having some issues with this platform posting pictures and my patience is thinning. So with that thought in mind, I will chat about and share some visualization words.
A dear, dear, friend is coming to visit for a few weeks, and I'm excited beyond excited to spend some time with this exceptional human. The past month or so has been filled with blessings that I can't even begin to describe, but I will share how God sends me gifts that are unmeasurable and filled with so much love that I find myself pinching myself sometimes.
I find myself sharing a lot and would say that I'm an open book, but sometimes those pages are best kept private. Ha! I've got you wondering, right? Good things come to those who wait. This can't be closer to the truth, and I often ponder who on earth thought these types of saying up? Believe it or not, most of those sayings come from the Bible.
Switching to the shop and the goings on. This is going to be without a doubt the fastest in twenty-seven years that our Holiday Soap has disappeared, and in fact, I don't believe that we'll have any left soon. I've made twenty-four weeks of soap for eighteen days of shop is open, so that's a lot of soap! I'm appreciative of the demand for Bittersweet Soap and products, but I also know that the nature of the way that it's made, handmade, and the curing time, etc. translates into once it's gone, it's gone. The nature of handmade. It's unlike anything else. It's a good thing! We're selling much higher numbers of bars which also translates into more soap being sold.
I've put in my third order to the publisher! There's nothing that compares to my feelings and the joy that it brings to my heart when you purchase my books and then return to the shop to tell me how much you enjoyed reading them. Nothing! My Faith book was written with the idea of entering into unknown territory while all along knowing that God was my guide so I did not doubt that the book would lead me to spiritual wholeness, but I couldn't imagine just how strong those blessed feelings would be.
I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
Philippians 4:13 NIV
What a glorious gift! This gift surpasses all earthly gifts!
Keep the faith.
