Giving Back
God Bless This Home
God calls us to be generous givers . . . not only with our money but also with
our time and talents. Karla has wanted to use her talents to promote a few charities over the years and now she is.
The house was painted as a blessing for those of us who do have home in order to bless those who don't.
I am honored to announce that from now until December 1st, 100% of the profits from the sales of this print will go directly to Open House Ministries.

(The print is designed to be personalized with your last name
hand-lettered above the front door or you could choose to have it personalized for a friend or family member as a housewarming, wedding, or Christmas gift... a gift that keeps on giving.)
Grateful Heart Giveaway
Karla wants help to spread the word about her new book, Give Thanks!
I know the message in this book will not only be a blessing to the reader but the praise and thanksgiving that goes up because of it will bless the heart of God. As always, Karla's book is superb in its praises for God and your heart will be humbled and grateful.
As you meditate on the scriptures and dwell on God's goodness and grace, you're heart will be stirred to count your blessings . . . and you will find yourself thanking God and giving Him praise maybe even for some things you hadn't thought of before!
Check out Karla's book and her great art at her site.

Revising your opinions and beliefs is necessary from time to time.
Thought of the Day - 11/3/09
The person you might not have been counting on can turn out to be the real deal. This is the one who decides how she can help you and then just does it. She climbs over her fears and yours, and just shows up. One individual's selfless act of coming to your side without your having to ask creates an unexpected space for you to get a sense for how you feel.
If you have just one friend like that, you are lucky an you have a lifesaver. If you have several friends like that, you have a lifeboat.
