Happy Thanksgiving week, friends! If we’ve known each other for any length of time, you know Thanksgiving has long been my favorite holiday of the year. What’s better than circling up with friends and family and savoring the abundant gift of this one beautiful life? We have much to celebrate. Much.
In a moment, I’ll let you get back to your cooking and turkey prepping. I have at least three pies to make myself, not to mention a house to clean for guests. It’s hard to believe that in a week we’ll be putting away the turkey fixings, eating the last of the leftovers and hauling out all the Christmas decorations. I don’t mind, though. Thanksgiving launches a lovely month of family time and spiritual reflection. Leaving the perfection of heaven for the tension of Earth, our Immanuel came, driven by love, desiring to be near us, with us, forever. There’s no better reason for gratitude.
Okay, now for a bit of news. To help celebrate the season, I’ve created a special holiday gift package just for you. Starting today, I’m offering a first-ever, personalized I Am Holiday Gift Bundle. I had so much fun dreaming this up, and I’m excited to share it with you! Here’s what is included:
- Autographed copy of I Am: A 60-day Journey to Knowing Who You Are Because of Who He Is
- One set of 60 I Am Inspirational Scripture Cards
- One Easel for display on your kitchen counter, desk, bedroom (or anywhere else!)
- A festive organza gift bag
- Holiday treats
- A personal holiday greeting from you! (optional, for those who are gifting)
This I Am Holiday Gift Bundle is a $45 value. But for the next month, we’re offering it for only $30 (plus shipping). Of course, you might want to get one for yourself. But this would also be an easy-peasy, personalized gift for the special people in your life, including:
- Your mom, aunt, grandma or daughter
- A single friend who doesn’t have much family (or get many gifts)
- Your favorite next door neighbor
- A co-worker who could use the encouragement
- A sick friend
- Your child’s teacher or coach
- A small group leader or other ministry leader
- A deployed or other military friend
All you need to do is head on over to my web store and add a gift bundle (or three) to your cart. And don’t forget to include your personalized note in the comments section of your order! We’ll make sure your gift has that extra thoughtful touch for those you love.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, friends. And know without a doubt, I am grateful for the gift of YOU.
[reminder]Okay, let’s make today’s question both fun and personal. What are you most looking forward to this holiday week? Can’t wait to get an inside peek at your Thanksgiving celebration. [/reminder]
I am having Thanksgiving dinner with very special friends (a tradition). I was in the Salt Lake City airport on my way home from a horrific brain surgery in 2006. I was in a wheel chair. I couldn’t walk, couldn’t see, had lost the hearing in my left ear. I needed to use the bathroom and we couldn’t find a “family” bathroom. I finally had my husband wheel me to the back of the line for the women’s but I had no idea what I would do once I got in there. A woman at the front of the line turned and saw me. “Do you need help?” she asked? She came and grabbed my wheel chair and helped me through everything. Later, on the plane back to Montana, there she was again. We have become dear, dear friends.
Hey Michele, love the gift offer, am ordering 4….most looking forward to spending time with my boys and other family! My son and twin boys are coming for couple of days, grandaughter here. It’s been another rough year but in all of it is God’s almighty, precious, oh so faithful presence and my heart is moved by gratitude at His oh so great a love for me, for us! Blessed Thanksgiving to you and yours dear friend!
After suffering much traumatic loss over the last years (and years and years), I’m simply looking forward to my family gathering around the table with hearts full of thankfulness, healing, restoration, joy and hope. In His faithful love, God continues to mends our lives, melt us closer to Him and one another, and allow us to experience His abiding and unwavering goodness. For that we are beyond thankful and blessed.
1 Thessalonians 5:18
Give thanks in everything, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
Thanksgiving blessings to you and your family.
