Day 4 - December 4, 2010
This ... will be for you like a sign on your hand and a reminder on your forehead ...
- Exodus 13:9
A holder for a small sticky note pad. (The 'black' dot is actually a dark red gemstone.)
Day 5 - December 5, 2010
... "Take a large scroll and write on it with an ordinary pen..."
- Isaiah 8:1
A beautiful pen.
Day 6 - December 6, 2010
Everyone with me sends you greetings...
- Titus 3:15
A card with an angel on the front...
(no flash because you couldn't see the angel with the flash on)
"May the wonder and peace of Christmas be yours."
We are going to send it out to someone special who Zoe has picked, but I don't want to say because it's a good possibility they are reading this. =)
Day 7 - December 7, 2010
... "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow."
- Isaiah 1:18
A snowman candy cane holder that hangs as an ornament on the Christmas tree.
Day 8 - December 8, 2010
And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky..."
- Genesis 1:14
A glittery, gold star ornament. (It looks great on the tree! The lights make the star sparkle.)
(There was also a long, skinny piece of paper with the star. It said, "Shine Your Light - Work with joy, Pray with love, Dream from your heart, Share what you have, Live simply, Love deeply, Thank God always!)
Day 9 - December 9, 2010
What shall I give you?
- Genesis 30:3
A gift card holder.
The ribbon wraps around the gift card and you pull up on the knot of the bow and the gift card comes out from the holder. (I messed it up and can't figure out how to fix it.)
Day 10 - December 10, 2010
Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy.
- Psalm 126:5
A red pouch that holds the travel size packs of tissues and a poem.
The poem:
"This Xmas try to end a quarrel. Seek out a forgotten friend. Dismiss suspicion, and replace it with trust... Write a love letter. Share some treasure. Give a soft answer. Encourage youth. Manifest your loyalty in word and deed. Keep a promise. Find the time. Forgo a grudge, forgive an enemy. Listen. Apologize if you were wrong. Try to understand. Flout envy. Examine your demands on others. Think first of someone else. Appreciate. be kind; be gentle. Laugh a little. Laugh a little more. Deserve confidence. Take up arms against malice. Decry complacency. Express your gratitude. Go to church. Welcome a stranger. Gladden the heart of a child or a senior. Take pleasure in the beauty and wonder of the earth. Speak your love. Yes, please do speak your love - Speak it again. Speak it still once again."
- "Christmas Spirit" by John Paul
