Continuing to count God's sweet blessings...

4015. Thanksgiving week. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite days of the year.

4016. Cool, crisp mornings.

4017. A fun night of laughs with the ladies at church.

4018. Lazy Saturdays with my husband.

4019. Medical insurance. We’ve been working on our health and that has meant lots of doctor visits. 

It's your turn! Share something you are praising God for. I would love to rejoice with you.

BEAUTIFUL WORD BIBLE {GIVEAWAY}

There is something calming about coloring. As a mom and former children's pastor, placing paper and crayons in front of a child can calm them quickly. As a adult, I too feel that calm when sitting with colored pencils or markers and something to color in.

Coloring, any art, can even be a form of worship. When we pray and read the Bible, then linger in presence of God to illustrate our time, we are worshiping Him. The Beautiful Word Coloring Bible is the perfect option for someone who wants to worship in this way or who enjoys the slow paced and even stress relieving activity. This Bible features hundreds of Scripture verses illustrated in the margins, ready to be colored in and empty margin space to add your own.

The Beautiful Word Coloring Bible features include:

•Complete text of the accurate, readable, and clear New International Version (NIV)
•Hundreds of verses illustrated in ready-to-color line art
•Thicker white paper for coloring and enduring notetaking
•Lined, wide margins for notes, reflections and art
•Easy-to-read black letter text in single-column format
•Satin ribbon marker
•Leathersoft cover lies flat when open
•Type size: 8

The Beautiful Word Coloring Bible is a wonderful Bible. It is good for all ages -women, teen girls, and even older girls. It would also make a wonderful Christmas gift. Pair it with some colored pencils and maybe a Bible case, and you have a wonderful gift for any girl or woman.

REST, MY FRIEND

We are approaching the downhill race as we near the end of the year. Like a bicycle picks up speed on a decline, life picks up speed in these last weeks.

With the holidays and all the craziness that they bring and then trying to finish any goals or plans we made for the year, we can often be left feeling like our head is spinning. We are told to make the most of the holidays. Do it all. Don't miss a party! When you think you're done shopping, no, you need more! Decorate until your house looks like the North Pole! Send Christmas cards to everyone you know! Keep yourself so busy you don't even get to truly enjoy the season!

Then we are told to finish every goal we set for the year. All the goals we are behind on, all the ones we forgot about. Well, you only have a few weeks left so get busy! Finish strong!

CHRISTMAS AT THE CABIN

I love Christmas movies! Just this morning I was going through my memories on Facebook and saw a post from twelve years ago where I said, "I love the cheesy Hallmark Christmas movies!" The sweet romance, the friendships, and the joy of Christmas, it makes for a great two hours of entertainment. Yet, when you throw in the Gospel message, now you have two hours of not only entertainment, but encouragement and hope.

Christmas at the Cabin is a new Christmas movie you will love! It's full of all the Christmas movie magic we love with the message of Jesus, forgiveness, and friendship.

Michelle is craving a calm and peaceful Christmas at their cabin with her husband Josh. But now her sister Poppy is coming along. No big deal. Their trip hits snags from the very beginning. And much to Michelle's dismay, gets worse when Josh' college buddy, Guy, shows up. Michelle's peaceful Christmas is at risk and she is overwhelmed.

Christmas at the Cabin is a sweet Christmas movie you will want to add to your watch list this year! It comes out in theaters Friday, November 14th. To find out where it's playing and get your tickets, click HERE. 

Giveaway:
One reader will win a $10 Amazon gift card. To enter to win, leave a comment with your favorite Christmas movie, your name, and your email address. One comment will be chosen at random and emailed from jenifer@jenifermetzger.org on November 17th.
