Count Your Blessings {and a GIVEAWAY}

Encouragement.

What is it like to find encouragement just when you need it?

Refreshing. Amazing. God-Ordained.

Encouragement is a Powerful Thing.

So powerful that it comes through your life and rips apart the hurt and lonliness you feel until it is no more.

This year has been a year of ups and downs. The first few months, I was struggling. Then I picked up a book. I read gentle reminder, after reminder. I started looking for blessings, gifts.

And guess what? I found them. I found them all over my life.

Slowly as I counted gifts {and still continue} I am finding more and more encouragement.

God has been giving me Grace through my journey, and grace to find healing and a hope. This counting, has been a great exercise in teaching me that God never left me. I was never alone.

I am blessed. And I count my blessings. It helps me to keep my vision clear, my focus right, upward. This process has been an enormous source of encouragement. Powerful encouragement in the midst of suffering.

Congrats to Debbie who won the Love & Respect for a Lifetime giveaway.

Love & Respect for a Lifetime :: GIVEAWAY

I received a copy of the following book, and a copy to give away to one of YOU, from PR by the Book for the purpose of this review and giveaway.

I have heard great things about Dr. Emerson Eggerichs book Love & Respect. However, I’ve never been able to get my hands on a copy to read.

So, when I learned about this new gift version, Love and Respect for a Lifetime, that is simplified and easy to read, I jumped right on the opportunity to get it in my hands!

This is a very casual book that you can just pick up, read a few pages, and continue later. It also looks beautiful, so it would set nicely on a coffee or end table.

The idea of the whole book comes straight from Ephesians 5:33:

However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

Women need love, and men need respect. The back of the book says it wonderfully, “Love and respect. Just two little words. But they have the power to transform any marriage – from chaotic to calm. Or from shaky to steady ground.”

I truly think that this concept is life changing to marriages.

Thanks again to PR by the Book for sending me a copy of this book to read and review.

Introducing :: Fixx My Lipz

THIS SHOP IS NOW CLOSED.

You can find Fixx My Lipz here.

Anyone else out there suffering from chapped lips? The wintry weather has come and with it I am plagued with dry and chapped lips.

Well, this summer when I found My Mama’s Love, I noticed that they had some lip balm too! I loved the Complete Skin Ailment Curative so much that I thought it would be worth while to try their lip balm out and see if it would give me some relief!

And, guess what? It did!

As soon as I put this lip balm on my lips, I felt immediately relief! It’s like being in the freezing cold and stepping into a warm bath! Then, the Vanilla Mint fragrance reaches my nose…and it smells so good that I cannot withhold a smile when I put it on! It makes me in a better mood (smells can do that, you know?).

lol…As I just read over that last paragraph, I laughed at myself describing this…but, it is true!

When I put this lip balm on…it’s like therapy for my lips and my mind!

And…it’s only $7 in the Putting God First Place Shop!

So, go ahead…try it out!

One tin is the equivalent of 3 roll-up tubes. And it is Preservative free, fragrance free, gluten free, dairy free, soy free, corn free, nut free, petroleum free, chemical free & free from anything artificial.

*I received a sample of the lip balm from My Mama’s Love for the purpose of doing this review. Also, if you choose to purchase from the Putting God First Place Shop, I will receive a small portion of the purchase price at no additional charge to you.

**UPDATE AND GIVEAWAY**
