Thoughtful Tuesday
"The Call" comes in. We all know "the call"; the one that breaks our heart, sends on a tailspin. What if we could remember all of God's promises in those first moments? What if we had at the ready a tool to use to pray and fight the enemy.
Kim Sorgious @ Not Consumed found an answer: a Promise Box and an altar. The altar is in the works, but I found an easy way not only to make the Promise Box, but also to maintain it as well.

That little orca is a cutie! How fun that your granddaughter made that cute little birdhouse for you. Those gifts are the best!
ReplyDeleteI so love the gifts she makes me...they are filled with so much thought and love! My grandson should enjoy hugging him and sleeping with him! I eager to hear what he thinks about the glow-in-the-dark fabric!
DeleteI like you promise box. That is really a good idea for remembering God promises.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely gift you received from your granddaughter. :-)
Thank you! My promise box was given to me by a friend many years ago. Yes, my granddaughter is so very thoughtful! :)
DeleteIt looks like you have a few different and fun projects in progress as we all do. I wish you well on your journey toward achieving your goals.
ReplyDeleteI love your Oreo Orca.
Yes, I do have a ton of projects going on.....I'm thinking about working on one at a time....we'll see! Thank you for your good wishes and for loving Oreo! I bet he gets a lot of hugs!
DeleteI recognize that promise box! Went to the website & printed the promise cards up and plan to use one of the bags Nicolle made for them. Thank you! For sharing! Love the Orca it truly looks so cuddly and so adorable! She really worked diligently on the bird house and picked out the colors specifically for you!
ReplyDeleteso adorable!
I wondered if you would recognize it! :) Yes, Nicolle's pouches come in so handy! I'm now working on the ".... cat!" Remember? She knows me so well, doesn't she? :)
DeleteSuper cute Orca! Lots of fun at your place for sure!
ReplyDeleteYes, Ma'm! It's filled with little ones with special requests! :)
DeleteThe Orca came out beautifully. My friend has a metal ring holding index cards...she lists scriptures or thoughts on them for easy reading.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Your friend sounds like a smart cookie! Great idea and it's also portable!
DeleteThat scripture has gotten me through some really tough times, and it's one of my favorites! LOVE the Orca! He is so well done. And those 4-patch blocks are just so cheery; I love those fabrics!
