New Art, A Car Accident & A Giveaway

"The husband must fulfill his duty to his wife, and likewise also the wife to her husband." 1 Corinthians 7:3

As we continue our journey of The Love Dare, today will discuss a sensitive area of marriage, sex.  We already know that men and women are completely different in how they view intimacy.  Sex with our spouse, although just one aspect of marriage, is very important.  It creates that oneness with our husband that we can have with no one else.  To read more, please head over to Woman to Woman Ministries for Marriage Monday.

Review & Giveaway:
I am so excited about today's review and giveaway!  Awhile back I stumbled across a website called Show Offs Art and fell in love with their work.  Scripture and inspirational message across a bright canvas that catches your eye, they are beautiful!  I LOVE the piece in my kitchen, it is the perfect addition to our home.  My only trouble is deciding exactly where I want it!  What do you think?  Hanging above the breakfast table or leaning against the wall on the little corner shelf?  Hmm??

Show Offs Art wants to provide fun, funky inspiration art and gift products to help you "Show Off" a little of who you are and what you believe.  Show Offs Art began a few years ago with one piece of art.  The "Heart and Globe" with the text of John 3:16 was actually created following the inspiration of another similar painting.  The painting was originally painted by then 11 year old Madison, a mentally and physically disabled girl.  Right before Christmas, Madison was painting a picture of a heart as a special gift for her Dad.  Just as she was finishing up the heart painting, Madison turned and picked up a big brush cover in turquiose paint and added her own final touch.  The last minute addition to her painting was the large circle painted over top part of the completed heart.  Although the final painting was quite different from the original plan, Madison's dad loved the gift.  Then as he looked closer to the painting, with the big heart and smaller blue-green globe, he said, "this is a cool visual of John 3:16, for God so loved the world.  We think of the world being so big, but God's love is much bigger than the world.


The winner will receive a free standard size canvas or a $50 gift certificate to use toward their order.  To enter, go to Show Offs Art, browse around, then come back and leave a comment telling me which piece is your favorite.  The winner will be announced next Monday (10/15).

***Remember, for entry to the giveaway, you must go to the Show Offs Art website and come back to leave a comment telling us your favorite piece. 

Sweet Blessings~
