Friday Favorites: Intentional Gifts

November 22, 2013

I love getting gifts and giving gifts that have a deeper meaning to them. Gifts that are wrapped in love, have Scriptural teaching, or support organizations that are changing the world in Jesus’ name. Yes, I treasure the rarity of finding intentional gifts to bless those closest to me.

And after getting to know you through the sweet comments you tuck away on my posts, friend, I think you feel the same way.

So, as Christmas approaches, I’m gathering up ideas for intentional gift-giving.

FridayFavorites11.22

1) Wool Blend Knit Twist Cowl – My friend Brittany makes these scarves to help put her husband through Bible school – they are truly an example of a couple who works together as a team. Every stitch she knits is such a beautiful act of love.
2) Truly Treasured Wallet – This wallet has a unique flair to it, not just because of the design, but because it has Scripture (Romans 8:28) embroidered on the other side. Each time you go to use this wallet, you will be reminded you are treasured and that God is working all things for good to fulfill His purpose in your life.
3) I Am His Medallion Necklace – I love this! It was given to me and I wear it often. The necklace proclaims that “I am His” with Scriptural affirmation on the back. (Jeremiah 1:5)
4) His Christmas Names Ornament Set – These special ornaments proclaim timeless truth as you trim your tree this year. Each set includes seven names of Jesus and a small book with stories to read about the significance of each name. This is a beautiful way to connect the wonder of Jesus with your children, family, and friends.

Leave a comment today with the name of one of your friends and which of these gifts you’d like to give her. I’ll randomly pick one commenter to win the gift you picked for your friend and an extra one for yourself.

So fun. Happy Friday!

    Lysa, I would give the I am his necklace to my good friend Jennifer Child’s…..on a different note I did not realize that the cover of unglued was a person until I finished the book, I thought it was a hatchet that wasn’t buried! How funny! I read it on my iPad mini. 🙂

    I would love to bless one of my friends with the “I am his” necklace. As I type this I can’t get a specific name to come to mind but I know God would give me a name if I was chosen. It could be my neighbor, co-worker, friend, I just don’t know yet.

    This is a wonderful idea. I enjoyed the necklace, “I am His”. I have a sister in Christ who has been going through a valley. It started two years ago and her husband has been through surgery after surgery. He has not worked in months and now she had to have surgery. She works in ministry and holding tight to Jesus has been hard at times. This woman opened a door that had been buried in my teenage son 2 1/2 years ago and helped my husband and I keep him from a dangerous path he was on. I am forever in her debt. Her love language is receiving gifts and I want her to have something to hold onto in her tough season. We were together in a Unglued bible study and we all adore you, so my thought was if it comes from you it would be a reminder light that Chris needs and would treasure. Blessings,

    I would give my friend Amy the beautiful Jesus ornaments because she is leading a school wide cookie ecxchange at our kids school and would like to have a tree decorated for the event and this ornament set would make great tree decorations. The cookie exchange is called “Cookies for a Cause” – women coming together in fellowship, with cookies and to support a local cause (homeless students in our County). Love the ornaments – Thanks!

She came alongside me and patiently waited 3 years while I questioned and stumbled and I ran…until finally I went running headlong into the Father’s arms just about 10 months ago.

    Lysa,
    Last Sunday I had the privilege to witness a former client of mine get baptized. When I say client, I’m referring to a program (post-abortion) that she went through with me being her mentor using the study “Forgiven and Set Free.” With her, like all the women, a relationship forms and we soon become friends.

    I would love to give my friend Beverly (Bev) the “I Am His” medallion. For a long time my faith was on the backburner. Bev & I became friends when we studied for our Certified Professional Secretary (CPS) exam and then for our Certified Administrative Professional (CAP) exam. While we were both members of IAAP, we would always share a hotel room at functions. Thanks to Bev’s unwavering faith, I attended a bible study at her church, and slowly began my journey in rediscovering how wonderful, forgiving, and loving God. Thanks to Bev, I have committed to daily Bible reading for the past four years. She’s the first person I call when I’m giving praise or having a crisis of faith.

My sweet daughter has had some really rough seasons in her 22 years (one of which she is just coming out of). Each time God has revealed Himself to her and shows her how He is working in her life. It is so tough to stand on the sidelines while she is in the thick of it, but oh, how heart-stirring to see Him work in and for her.

After 10 years of trying to have a baby they quit fertility treatments only to find out 2 months later that she was pregnant. 1 of her church ladies knitted her a prayer shawl for her high risk pregnancy. Now that little boy is 6 years old and to the surprise of everyone has a 1 1/2 year old brother. When she wears the cowl it would one a reminder of how God comforts us at all times.

    Lysa: thanks for always leading us in the adventure of faith with your words, actions, and gifts (spiritual and physical ;-).

    Hmmmm… it’s hard to pick between 1 and 3 because I have 2 friends (intentionally) in mind for each of these…

    Tell you what:

    For Gift #1: Could you pass along the info to order straight from Brittany? I’ll buy 2 from her to support her husband and give one to my friend Andi.

    For Gift #3: This is the one I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to give to my friend, Beth Wright. She saw the spiritual gifts in me I couldn’t see and encouraged me to be a writer/speaker… hired me for my very first women’s retreat… told me about She Speaks… and helped send me my first year. Here am I, 4 years later (published, writing, and speaking for God … doing ministry). Beth often gives me jewelry for birthday/Christmas and I want to give her something special this year.

    The “I Am His” necklace is PERFECT PERFECT PERFECT!!!! Please consider my Sister, Friend, and the woman who raises me to higher standards, Beth Wright, when you consider who might receive this beautiful piece of art.

    I have an amazing friend, as we probably all do, that has been a treasure to me for over 22 years. We rode the bus together, we went to college together, we served in the armed forces together (though in different branches), and now by God’s design (I have no doubt), we are back in our home town raising our kids together and holding each other’s arms up in the process. She truly is a picture of Jesus like no one I’ve ever known! I would give her the ornaments because she is an unbelievable mom of 4, soon to be 5, children – three of which are adopted from China and two of those are special needs. She pours herself into these children daily – teaching, discipling, serving and loving them. I have no doubt she would LOVE something like this to proclaim Jesus’ name to her children and all who enter her home.

In this time of waiting for her abundance to come, this necklace would be a reminder to her that she is not alone, and as long as she has Him she has everything.

    I have a friend, a sister in Christ, who is going through a tough time and needs affirmation from God every day. She has a chronic illness, and after 25 years of marriage, her husband has left because he is “tired of having a sick wife” and “tired of having to pay her medical bills”. The wallet would remind her that God is working all things for her good, even as her life changes drastically. The necklace would reminder on the most lonliest of days that she is His and she is not alone.

    The “I Am His” necklace is the sweetest gift I can give to my girls this Christmas. My own daughter, who at 14 has had to go through a very tough time recently, and to my stepdaughters, who at the ages of 14 and 17, lost their mom to cancer. These young ladies mean the world to me and I always want them to know they are dearly loved. They have blessed me in so many ways and I adore each one of them.

    I love the His Christmas Names ornaments. I teach Sunday School for 3rd-5th graders. I have a small class – 7 kids. What a wonderful reminder the ornament would be for them during the Christmas season of the true meaning of Christmas. I would use the ornaments and the booklet to teach the kids each Sunday before Christmas about each name and how it applies to them. Then the last Sunday before Christmas send each child home with an ornament as a reminder of who Jesus is to them.

    The “I am His necklace ” I would give to my precious daughter in law. This year has seen such change in her- she knew about Jesus, but didn’t Know Him. Through a turbulent time in their marriage-they have been through a lot, and somedays the only thing that’s held them together is my son’s love for her and the determination God placed in him to make it work. They’ve been married almost 5 years, have an 8 year old daughter and a 2 year old son and have a little one on the way. They are currently living solely on my son’s income from being a musician at church and other church functions with several churches around our area. They were on the point of breaking- she was about ready to leave the marriage and the children, when it came to a head one night and she arrived at our door after a phone conversation with her mother where her mom said “Just leave him” and hung up. She stood there, in the doorway, saying I’m so sorry and crying non stop, we brought her in, she stayed the night with us, we talked a long while, and through the orchestrations of God her heart was changed and the Hand of God in her life was revealed clearly to her. Shortly after, she gave her heart to Jesus. Now she and my granddaughter attend BSF with me and I am clearly reminded of the joy of the wonder of learning about Jesus through her eyes. As we left our class one evening she said to me: “I never knew that the Bible is the story of Jesus, that it’s one story start to finish. Now it makes sense.I just want to read it all now, start to finish.” None of her family are believers, her parents have divorced and both remarried, their value system is far removed from ours and they are in conflict over this change in her (their advice was to leave my son and start over and do whatever she wanted to do with her life). She still has baggage and things to work out in her head (don’t we all!) and It’s a struggle for her some days to trust that Jesus has her in the palm of His precious nail-scarred hand. I think the necklace would serve as reminder to her on those days it gets tough.

She’s struggled with the emotions of this obviously, yet has also seen God’s hand so much in providing for them right now. He is constantly assuring her that He really is a husband to the widow and a father to the fatherless. This would be a great reminder of how much God loves her.

    I love these gift ideas. I always have such a hard time buying my sister-in-law gifts because she doesn’t wear jewerly and has most of what she wants, but the truly treasured wallet is just her size and style. I would love to get her one of those for Christmas. It was through her and her friends that my husband and I found Christ. I still turn to her with questions and answers and she always finds time for me to answer them. She and my mother-in-law are the two people I love most of all, after God, my husband, and my kids. We spend every holiday with them and she does so much for us. I don’t know what I would do without her and this wallet would make her a wonderful gift that would show just how much we treasure her and how much God treasures her. Thanks for this post.

    I have a friend who has been such a blessing to me. Her name is Joelle Taft. We attend the same church and are going through somewhat similar circumstances. We have just recently finished your Bible Study book, What Happens When Women Say Yes to God. Through the book she has shared the story of her calling to adopt 2 little girls from Ghana. Her and her husband have met the children and have been declared their legal parents in Ghana but because of some issues all forward progress has been halted. I too have been in a period of waiting for direction from God as to my desire for a child. I have been married for a little over nine years and we have been unable to have children even through fertility treatments. Joelle has been such a support and friend to me. We have cried together and prayed together. Recently, I have received an answer to a very long prayerful time of waiting from God in the direction of adoption. Although I do not know exactly know what avenue He would have us pursue yet, I have a peace that He is definitely pointing us toward adoption. I just want to nominate Joelle as that very special friend to receive the scarf because she has truly been a blessing to me as well as an answer to prayer for God to send me a friend that could understand what I was feeling. Someone that I could trust will pray for me and love me. She doesn’t judge me when I share my feelings, but also is willing to be truthful with me and hold me accountable. She saw the adoption calling on me before I did, but instead of pressuring me, she just prayed for me. We were talking the other day and I totally had a light bulb moment! We were talking about her adoption and the adoption of one of our other friends that was just completed from Ethiopia. I shared with her that I was open to any direction that God had for me, but that I wasn’t willing to move until I had total confirmation from Him. I told her that financially it was not in our grasp to pursue adoption at this time. I realized that with that statement I was saying that it was BEYOND ME and that the final confirmation of the 5 ways you can know if God is calling you to something from your book had been realized in this journey. She was totally excited and supportive of the realization and I am confident that she is going to be there for me through every step of this new journey that God has set before me and my husband. I am just overwhelmed by her love and support and very thankful for who she has become in my life.

    I am constantly thinking of my 18 year old daughter. The constant reminders that I must give her about God. Every Wed and Thurs she calls me at 5 pm. She knows I’m heading for bible study but wants to know. Lately she has told me, “you’re not in such a good mood. Did you go to Bible study”. I have to giggle at that. In itself I hope this gives her an example and she is heading back to the closeness we once had. I like number four for her. She loves to trim the tree, yet I do not any more. I used to do it because of her, for her. Now watching her I like to film her because she likes “theme” seasons in terms of “colours”. Our first tree only had child toys on it with her footie *star on end* as the topper.

    Hi Friends,
    My sweet friend Heather lives on the other side of the US and I haven’t seen her in years, but the Lord has renewed our friendship recently though emails and texts. I am so blessed to have her in my life. A true “kindred spirit.” She is going through a dark time in her life. Her husband lost his job yesterday! She has three kids and is basically a stay at home mom. Their home is not finished and she has NO money to fix anything and her dad is struggling with depression. She has no idea how she will pay for groceries this week. I would LOVE to bless her with the beautiful bird necklace to remind her that God has NOT forgotten her today. It would be the next best thing to actually being there to hug her in person, which I really wish I could do. PLEASE keep her and me in your prayers today. I LOVE your ministry! Thank you for everything you do.

    I would love to give to my great friend and co-worker – Amber the necklace that is pictured on your blog. She and her husband have been patiently trying to conceive a child. She has never waivered in her faith that God has plans for her to be a mother. I have seen such growth in her as she draws near to God in this journey. She has been an inspiration to me. Thank you for your blogs Lisa – I love them!

    I would give the “I am His” necklace to my friend Toni. She and I both at times need the reminder that “I am His” and He loves us unconditionally. She has been a good friend for years and we have stood by each other through thick and thin. But we know that there is One who sticks even closer and we are so in love with Him!!

    Ashley B. is a new teacher at our school. This week she asked to go into my “prayer closet” where I keep a prayer list for anyone in the school to write names and just take a minute away from the kids to have a moment with God. Her brother (special needs) is in a coma and has not come out. They will begin dialysis this week. DMV in NC has taken her driver’s license due to an episode of low blood sugar that she reported to them after a surgery in February. She now has to depend on her family to drive her 90 miles round trip each day to bring her to work. She NEEDS the necklace to confirm the prayers that we prayed with her this week. She is a child of the most high King…and no demon in hell or on Earth can change that when she has been washed in the blood and redeemed by His Almighty power. I have only known her for 3 months, but her story and determination has brought me closer to the Lord. I am so blessed to know her.

    I love all of these gifts! I’d say you are really good at this! I would give the wallet to a very true friend of mine, Gina. We were friends in middle and high school and lost touch from college on up until last year. I can’t tell you how blessed I am to have her back in my life. She has reminded me how much God’s plans are the BEST plans even when we don’t think they are how we want them to be. And that He loves me and wants to bless me always. We are true sisters in Christ and I’m so thankful that we have been brought back together to encourage each other and build each other up. She’s very much into fashion and things that are unique – between the verse and the style -this is a perfect gift for her! Thank you so much for sharing!

    Thanks for the ideas! I have also been enjoying finding meaningful gifts and recently found a cupcake sold in our local grocery store that when purchased 100% of the profits go to fund Courage House…a home in our area that rescues, loves on and gives a home to young girls who have come out of sex trafficking!!!! Wow – how easy is that? Guess what my kids teachers are getting for Christmas?

    I have had my eye on those ornaments with the names of God on them since last Christmas (Family Life, right?). I would so enjoy giving them to my dear friend, Rebecca, who has walked with me faithfully through some ups and downs over the past ten years. She has shown me Jesus’ unconditional and many facets of His love!

    Those are all wonderful and incredibly meaningful ideas! I would have to say that I would give the Wool Cowl to my dear friend Amy in North Pole, Alaska. My husband was stationed there a little over 7 years ago and when we arrived I knew absolutely no one and was brand new to being a military wife. Two weeks after we unpacked he was shipped off unexpectedly to Iraq and I had no one but my 2 year old to keep me company. Amy, being the big hearted woman that she is, became my NM (meaning Northern Mother). She would even walk to my house 5 days a week to do pilates with me at 5:30 in the morning (trudging through snow and all). She has always battled with her faith and still calls me to pray for her – hoping that my prayers have more power than hers (although I have told her many times that is not the case). She often feels defeated and needs so much encouragement. I envision this Cowl wrapped snuggly around her neck giving her the comfort of a hug – letting her know that someone cares for her and God does see and hear her cries.

    Thanks Lysa for the great gift ideas – I too love to give and receive gifts that have a deeper meaning to them and that speak to and about the person I’m giving too! I thought about my 22 yr old daughter and would love to gift her the Truly Treasured Wallet. It looks like her but more importantly would remind her how God has a purpose in everything she is and has gone through, how God works all things together for good to those who love him. Her Daddy passed away in early 2012 and she needs to keep this verse in her heart as she still works through the grief and trauma of his death, as he ended his own life.

    I love them all! I would give my sister the necklace so she would have a reminder during her day that she is Gods! She has M.S. and is trying her best to raise her children as believers with an unbelieving husband. Her husband is not supportive and does everything an unbeliever does and the stress is making her M.S. worse. This would be a great reminder throughout her day that she is God’s child and she needs to give Him all her struggles and trust in Him. Philippians 4:6-7, 13

    There are actually two very important women in my life right now. My sister who, until recently, I was never very close to. More recently she and I have embarked on a spiritual journey together and while we build our relationship with Christ we are also building a true sisterly bond as well. The other woman in my life who is very special to me is my sister in law who was a good friend before she became my sister. She has also joined my sister and I on this spiritual journey together. We are three sisters, who have begun the “Made to Crave…” journey and learning that we are indeed His and that with Him we can be his Victorious children. So the gift I would give would be the “I am His” necklace. While I realize that you said you would give one to my friend and one to me I would give up mine so that both my beloved sisters could have one.

    I have this wonderful friend her name is Diana. She is so patient, kind, and loves the Lord with all her heart. She is a true proverbs 31 woman with a servants heart. She is a courageous wife,mother, and friend. Not a day goes by that she doesn’t bless someone with her smile or a kind word. And she loves Jesus. She raised each of her kids to love the Father and she was a pastor’s wife for many years. She is fervant in prayer and always uses the many names of our Savior to share his majesty. I think she would be truly blessed to be blessed with the His Name ornaments. Partially because they are beautiful and partially because I know she could use the extra gift this year. She has worked so hard, giving of herself and many times she gets nothing in return to make her feel special. I also know she wont be with family this year. This woman has been my best friend through this very rough year and I finally appreciate her. She is my mama, the one I have always over looked, the humble and submissive wife I never understood, and the one God used to bless me. She is a precious woman. Always busy but her arms are strong for her tasks. The best friend a girl could ask for 🙂

    I would give the “I Am His” Necklace to my girlfriend who loves the lord and desires to be pleasing, obedient and changed by his word, while not understanding quite fully how much He loves her. The “Cross Necklace” that she wears around her neck is beautiful, but her lack of confidence in who she is in Christ Jesus will only be realized by her knowing that she is His and nothing and no one can separate her from Him. Rom. ( 8:39). Not the past nor the light afflictions of this life can outweigh the eternal glory that we who are His will receive because He loves us just that much!.

For her to die is gain. She has shown us women what it is like to love the Lord with all our heart, her passion is teaching God’s word to the women in our church and to all who wants to come.

On the other hand, I was not blessed with the golden cooking spoon. If the wallet became my gift, I would feel so much better about not cheating her with store bought cookies lol.

      I would choose the “I am His” necklace for my friend Bethany. She is a wonderful godly women, that I admire so much. About 4 1/2 years ago she moved across the country because her husband got a more secure job. They felt the Lord was moving them there. She was pregnant at the time and she left all her family back here in Maine. She misses her family and friends SO much, but she knows she has a new/different calling on her life. Because she is “His” she desires to do His will and follow His lead. I just think this necklace would be a constant reminder that wherever she is God is with her because “She is His”.

    #4 for my friend Danielle. God brought us together in a most unexpected way. She and her husband have come alongside my husband and I and I am so unbelievably grateful for their fellowship. She mentioned wishing for something like this to share with her three young sons. I would love to be able to give this to their family 🙂

    I love the “I am His” necklace. I would share it with my friend, Michelle who is battling a chronic undiagnosed (as of yet) illness and truly is a conqueror. She faces every day with beauty and grace because she KNOWS that SHE IS HIS CHILD! 🙂

    Hi Lisa. I was wondering if you would consider sharing with your community our gifts that GIVE a better quality of life also. My name is Kellie Burkhart. I was wondering if your show would be willing to share a very special online boutique — where every purchase GIVES a better quality of life to a local little boy who has cerebral palsy — our son!

    The shop is on Etsy. A local glass artist set it up as a way to raise money for our son’s expensive and ongoing medical bills. Andrew is in 1st grade and has cerebral palsy. The treatments that are helping him IMPROVE in huge ways are not covered by insurance and are very expensive. We are doing all of this on the modest school teacher salary of Andrew’s Daddy (who teaches both High School and Middle School math and works 3 teaching related jobs just to pay our bills and toward Andrew’s medical bills).

    The artist makes & donates the jewelry and I (Andrew’s Mom) run the shop! ALL of the profits come back to us for Andrew’s medical care. The jewelry is GORGEOUS, affordable and comes gift wrapped. Each piece is handmade and one of a kind.
    For only $19.95 folks can have a gorgeous glass heart necklace gift wrapped and shipped to their door — or the door of the person they are sending it to as a gift! Earrings and bracelets are just a little more. These pieces would make beautiful holiday gifts — and they would be GIVING a better quality of life to our son with every purchase.

    Thanks for considering it. Please advise. Shop link is below. It is called Hearts For Burkhart Boutique on Etsy.

    http://www.etsy.com/shop/HeartsForBurkhart

    Sure pray that I hear from you!
    Blessings!

    I would love to present the necklace to Kathy. She taught my boys at a secular preschool, and we became dear friends. She showered all the children with her love and hugs and then took time to reach out to me. While I am Protestant, and she is Catholic we share a love for God and a concern for each others’ needs. I am so honored when she texts me and asks me to pray for something that’s pressing on her, and I know when I send her similar messages that she will truly take the time to pray for me.

    I would love to give the knitted scarf to my BFF and sister-in-Christ, VAL! She is an amazing friend! The last year and a half for me has been challenging! I have found myself in circumstances I never thought imaginable and she stood by my side through it all! I could spend all day telling you all the things she’s done to support me. One example is, Val used $1,000 of her own money for a down payment on a car I needed! This kind of generosity is rare these days! I can’t repay her, but the ability to give her something this Christmas season would be wonderful!
    Thank you for considering!
    Happy Thanksgiving!!

    Definitely the necklace…my daughter, Jade, is absolutely my best friend.

I constantly remind her that she belongs to God…and that’s always enough purpose for anyone.

    those are all so beautiful! it’s hard to pick just one. I think, though, that Cynthia would like the medallion necklace. It’s such a beautiful message to carry so close to your heart. A close second for Cynthia would be the ornaments of the names of Jesus. She is so intentional when decorating her tree. She takes time to think about and reflect on each one as she decorates. She has been the best mentor and friend that I could have asked for. I am grateful that God placed her in my life.

    It’s hard to decide which of these beautiful and meaningful gifts I would love most. I choose the cowl scarf because it is handmade and it’s the perfect time of year to wear! I would love to give this to my long time closest girlfriend, Carissa. She is the one I know I can go months without talking to but if I call her at 3 am she will be there! She has never judged me, only lived and accepted me for who I was created to be. She has struggled with one thing after another in her life yet has remained faithful and obedient to God and is my biggest encouraging girlfriend! She is my soul sister!

    I would love to give the scarf to my biblical counselor Amy whom is also my friend.

She is a biblical counselor, teaches bible studies, gives guitar lessons, gives haircuts and perms and doesn’t even get paid. She has so much joy in serving the LORD. She deserves to be wrapped in love.

    I would love the necklace for my faithful friend, Jessi. She has been through so much this past year. In January, at just 34 years old, she found out she had breast cancer. A day before she was to have the lumpectomy, she found out that she was pregnant (after 5 years of trying to conceive). By God’s grace and healing, she carried the baby full term and her cancer did not grow, despite the fact that her pregnancy hormones were supposed to feed the cancer. Now she has a beautiful and healthy 4 week old and is undergoing radiation treatments. Above all else, she has a been a witness to those around her of God’s goodness and grace. I think the necklace would be a perfect gift to remind her that she is His!

    I would give my dear friend, Michelle, the I Am His! necklace. She fights the tough battles for kiddos without a voice through her vocation as a social worker. This necklace is a great reminder that she’d see in the mirror every day of who she belongs to, and who loves her beyond her imagination.

    I would love to give my BFF, Lina, the scarf! We have been best friends for close to 20 years. We have walked through much…our weddings, her moving out of state, combined births of six children, divorce, my brother-in-law committing suicide, her brother being killed in an accident, and MANY, MANY laughs! I love her dearly and would love to bless her, as her birthday is in a couple of weeks, and money is tight for us both. Love you and your ministry! Blessings!

    They are all beautiful, and filled with meaning that would be treasured; but, my oldest granddaughter and her husband and 2 children moved to Puyallup, Washington from Florida last year (he’s in the Army). Soooo….I would choose #1 for her to keep her warm on those chilly Washington days. She would be over the moon that it was hand made by a loving wife who is trying to help her husband in Bible School. My granddaughter is a young, new wife and has experienced the strength and faithfulness of God in very tangible ways in the last 7 months. She is in awe of God’s love for her marriage, and for her family personally.

    I would love to be able to give the Names of God ornaments to my friend Lisa. She has been going through some difficulties, the most being her health problems all stemming form the spinal cord tumor that was removed. She has lost her mother, her brother, her father, her husband left her for another woman and she is struggling financially to support herself. These past couple of years are taking a toll and she has been struggling and feeling like through all these health issues she’s also feeling attacked through spiritual warfare. I would like her to have these ornaments as a reminder of who God is and that He is there through all our seasons.

As I have watched, several tragedies ravage her family and personally touch my life as well, my faith in God has been strengthened watching hers. I personally like the wallet because Romans 8:28 is my daily verse that brings peace to my heart….no matter what faces me. It is all a part of my “process” which allows me to accept the process, take joy in the process on my way to the “PROMISE” because Daddy is in control!!

She has been a beacon of Christ’s love for me my whole life, but more recently when her and I both excepted Jesus Christ into our life, Wholeheartedly, Forever, amen. We have both had some struggles in our life, no better or worse than anyone else’s, but I’m sure something like this would brighter her day & be a nice holiday gift to her. She has shown me that if you love and put all of your faith in Christ, you will have riches beyond belief. Thank You

I have recently started a blog http://www.rainingrace.blogspot.com by the leading of the Holy Spirit and Jerrie came to me and said that she wanted to partner with me in what God is doing through me.

    I have never done anything like this before with that said when I saw/read the Christmas ornament it reminded me of my friend Melissa. Something in me said leave a comment. She is truly an amazing gift from God. Her tree toper is a crown of thorns with purple cloth. She loves Christ with all her heart and soul and is truly an expression of Him. The wallet is my life verse so I just smiled when I read that. My saying at work is it’s all good. Taken from this verse because I believe He is at work in everything.

    I would love to give the names ornaments to my niece. She is a young woman 21, who had a baby in August of this year out of wedlock. The father of the child has been brutalizing her emotionally. She is living with her mother and step-dad and has returned to the church. The sermon last Sunday about Naomi and Ruth, focus on Naomi and her losses, struck a chord with Carly. She has now decided to turn her heart back to God and be the best mommy little Grayson could ever have. She has her mother and aunts (that’s me) and granny for support. This entire event has been emotional but eye-opening for her. I would love to surprise her with something special, like these ornaments proclaiming the wonder and awesomeness of the child born in a lowly manger for her sake and mine. She wants to return to college and start her life anew, with a renewed love of the Lord, and a desire to support her child. She owes student loans from where she started before but the boyfriend forced her to drop out, so offer up a prayer that a way will be made open for her to return to school. Thank you, and I love your daily devotions.

    I would love to give “His Christmas Names Ornaments” to a dear sweet lady in our church who just lost her husband from a tragic work-related accident on Wednesday, November 20. They just celebrated their 40th anniversary. He was a deacon in our church and loved by so many!! This is all such a shock and we will miss him terribly! I think in the days ahead, especially with the holidays, she will need to be reminded that He is holding her and their family in HIS hands during this tragic time. The ornaments will be a great way for her to share this reminder with their grown children and grandchildren as they celebrate their first Christmas without him.

To watch women walking the walk, talking the talk, make mistakes and willing to share it with others so that we can know we’re not alone. Thank you! As far as the gift, I would choose the necklace for my beautiful daughter in law Tomi who desires to speak about Jesus in every area of her life- her family, her children, the way she dresses, her words. She takes every opportunity to share about her heavenly Father.

About five years before I taught her how to knit and because of all this time of depression had stolen from me she had to reteach me. I would love to give my friend this scarf.

    #3 (NOT AN EASY CHOICE because all the gifts are GORGEIOUS and my friend and I love wallets too! However, you will understand why I choose the necklace instead. Her middle name is Faith and we are childhood friends whom God reconnected “for such a time as this.” The past 5 years we have walked each other through grief and recovery from some very traumatic situations. God could not have hand picked a better friend for me than her and I know she feels the same. I don’t mean to wax long, but my heart overflows every time I talk about it! Even to her potential emotional discomfort she has been a steady companion in believing for my family, even when she has been left alone in relationship. She is filled with grace yet doesn’t hesitate to bring me back to reality when I need it. My prayer for her is that as she walks into the new season, new relationships, new future… (and as I do the same with my husband and kiddoes!) that God will solidify in both of us that our identity is IN HIM first and foremost.
    My prayers go up for your ministry as well; I’ve discovered Unglued and your site at a PERFECT time for me;. I am so excited! THANKYOU, Valorie

With her free time she leads worship for the children of our church and last week gave an incredible testimony about coming back to church.
    God is good! Having a daughter like Camille has been one of the greatest gifts he has given me.

    This holiday season our family wants to focus more on serving others. We want to show our children it is important to help others in need. We are giving our first Thanksgiving basket at our church. I am always cautious about what we spend during the holidays but realize our family is truly blessed and want to do something for our community. I am hoping we can slow down this holiday season and see its true meaning. Your blogs do inspire me and I do enjoy reading them. The gift I would pick would be the scarf for my friend who loves to wear them. Thanks Lisa for all you do!

    My sister, Kaci, has battled depression most of her life. Almost a year ago, she became pregnant and gave birth to her boy. During the pregnancy, she was depressed and even though about having an abortion. As someone who was not married, she felt that the community would judge her, and that she could not offer what the baby needed. Now that her son has been born, he has given her some light and hope. She still struggles financially, and is not back in church. By giving her the “I Am His” necklace, it would be a reminder to her that no matter what, we are always God’s. I would hope that this necklace would give her comfort and peace about her life.

    My sister has always battled depression. When she became pregnant, she considered having an abortion and was depressed most of the pregnancy since she did not think she could provide for the kid as needed with her being unmarried. Her baby boy (almost 1 year old) has brought happiness back into her life. She is starting to turn back to God, and seek Him. By giving her the “I Am His” necklace, it would be a reminder to her that no matter what, Christ is always our father and is there for us.

    Lysa, my daughter, Lauren, is an ambassador( representative) for Noonday Company. The woman who founded the company wanted to start a home business to raise funds because she had a heart to adopt children. She found third world artisans that were gifted (most of the merchandise is jewelry, accessories and a few home goods). The wonderful thing is the artisans are from all over the world…Africa, Asia, Central America and South America. The incomes that are paid to the artisans give them a sustainable income, helping them to rise out of poverty, and part of the profits of the company go towards helping with adoptions worldwide!!! And the icing on the cake is that these goods are really beautifully done..a wonderful chance to help others and wore something beautiful all in one!!!

    #3 The Medallion – I want one for me and my best friend!! We are both military wives with four young kids. She encourages me in my walk with Christ and in this crazy life of being married to a military man and raising kids as a single parent when he is gone. I know that when my day is crazy and I just want to scream, I can call her and she points me right back to HIM!!! She is the BEST of friends and an amazing sister in Christ. I would LOVE to share this gift with her. PLEASE pick us!!!! 🙂

She delights in the way He honors her faith and in His unfailing love and provision for her family.

Her gentle and humble spirit has encouraged all of us to follow Christ as she has. Without her influence, and my dad’s, we wouldn’t know Jesus and you just can’t repay that. I would love for my newly married daughter to also have one as an encouraging reminder to press on toward the mark…Keeping life’s focus on Christ!

She is patient an loving, warm and encouraging and is teaching her children to be Jesus hands and feet to the world. She is showing her children and all of us around her, that even when someone does hurtful things to you and turns your world upside down, you don’t play the victim. You lay your burdens at the feet of Jesus, place your trust in Him and get busy doing God’s work. She is amazing! I struggling to provide for her children for Christmas. I know there won’t be much under the tree period and definitely nothing for her. I would love to be able to have something placed under there, just for her.

    Dear Lysa,

    I just wanted to share something with you that the Lord placed on my heart when I was reading Chapter 13 of the “Made to Crave” book. I didn’t know where else to post this so that you would see it. Thank you so much for your obedience and honesty in providing this Bible Study for me. I pray that you will blessed beyond measure during this season of Thanksgiving and the birth of our Savior!

    My Fill
    In a dry and parched land that no man can fill
    I found comfort for my soul right in the center of God’s will.
    He covered me with His love and filled me to the brim
    I found my fill in the desert, and all I was lacking I found in Him.
    He quenched all of my thirst for the things of this world
    By reaching down, picking me up and calling me His little girl.
    To belong to Jesus is all that we need
    To satisfy our hungry souls and fill them with Him instead.
    Food is not the enemy, but the sin of gluttony is
    So let’s give our whole selves to Jesus and finally start to live.
    As we walk daily in His Word and reach out to Him
    He draws us closer to Him, to have the complete and total victory over our issues with food.
    Hallelujah I’m redeemed is now the song my soul sings
    I found myself in Jesus and my peace, my life is now completely, totally and wholly in my King.

    I would enjoy giving the “His Christmas Names Ornament set” to my niece. She’ll be six years old on Monday, and my sister is a single mom (they live with my parents). I stop by every chance I get to spend time with her. My other sister and myself try to instill God’s truths in her at every opportunity, because her mom is a bit of a prodigal and does not value a relationship with the Lord at this time. We aunts want our niece to understand that Jesus is the reason for the season, and our focus should be more on serving others than on getting more stuff. We’ve included her in various outreach projects over the past month (packing Operation Christmas Child boxes, putting together care packages for deployed soldiers, etc.). On Christmas morning we like to bring over a birthday cake for Jesus & sing “Happy Birthday, Jesus!”, and it would be awesome to have a set of ornaments like these with a book we could read to her and have discussion about what the names of Christ are/mean.

    I fell in LOVE with the ‘I Am His’ necklace and would be overjoyed to share this with a special sister in Christ.This lady helped my walk with God when we met in a woman’s small group in 2011. Ever since then, she and her family have supported me financially in times of need (when I was a single mom), supplied me with a family in a place where my daughter & I had just moved clear across the country from our other family; but most importantly, this friend mentored me so many ways in my walk with Christ. After finishing your book “What Happens When Women Say Yes to God” this very morning, I am set out on a mission of radical obedience! I want to share with this special friend how she was the person in my life that has lead me to give my life to Christ! Thank you!
