Wisdom From Above
Dear Friend,
Several years ago I did a Bible study of the book of James. Being a visual learner, I wrote out each verse as I went through the study. I found that writing out each verse really helped me to “hide God’s Word in my heart.” (Psalm 119:11) This month’s theme verse is my favorite verse from James: “The wisdom from above is first pure, then peace-loving, gentle, compliant, full of mercy and good fruits, without favoritism and hypocrisy.” (James 3:17) Have you ever thought about connecting “wisdom” with “gentleness?” Or how about with “peace-loving?” (I have to admit, it can be quite challenging to be a peacemaker when I like to be right all the time!)
There is so much value in our theme verse…just like this month’s Box! So let’s jump in…
Speaking of the book of James, you can imagine how excited I was when I recently came across the book, Word Writers: James by Denise J. Hughes. I dove right in and loved the book of James all over again! And I think you will too, as you go through this very manageable 25 day study. It’s really going to bless you as you grow in the knowledge and love of Christ. It even has a ribbon bookmark! (Don’t you love ribbon bookmarks?!)
There’s something about listening to a recording of live worship…maybe it’s knowing that you’re not alone and that you’re a part of something bigger than yourself. Included in this month’s Box is a live recording of Planetshakers, titled, Legacy. Here’s an added bonus: Legacy also includes all the words to all the songs and a DVD!
Do you know someone who could really use a smile today? Debora Coty is a humorist and award winning author of numerous inspirational books, including, Too Blessed to be Stressed…Inspiration for Every Day. In this 365 day devotional, Debora touches on everyday life topics in a way that will make any stress you’re feeling disappear. And yes, the devotional has a ribbon bookmark!
Also included is Too Blessed to be Stressed…Creative Journal. It’s creative because it not only has space to write down your personal thoughts, but also has beautiful art pieces to color as you journal. It also includes inspirational thoughts and prayers. Best of all, the two books come in a gift box to make a truly meaningful and fun gift. (That’s if you can part with it…and if you can’t part with it, just think of it as a gift to yourself!)
As we head into a new year, it’s always good to be ready for those very special times in your friend’s and family’s lives. Enclosed in this month’s Box is a Celebration Package of Christian Greeting Cards. Whether it’s a wedding, an anniversary or a new baby, you’ll be ready with a card that says just what you want to say. The best part? Each card includes a Scripture verse that relates to the celebratory event.
This HUGE blessing has retail value of $85.17 for only $29.99 plus S&H! It's a great deal to start off the new year with. However, an even greater deal is starting off the new year with Wisdom From Above.
Praying you are full of mercy and good fruits,
Bette
