Holiday Box Reveal
Theme Verse: “My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.” Luke 1:46-47
The inspiration behind the Holiday Box this year comes from Mary’s song in the Bible after she finds out she is pregnant with Jesus, the coming King and Savior of the world. Rather than react with fear, she reacts with faith. She worships, rejoices, and recalls His faithfulness. In Mary’s response, we find a beautiful example of a woman who chooses to magnify the Lord, despite seemingly difficult circumstances. I hope this encourages you to do the same, no matter what season you find yourself in.
Now, let’s check out all of the details on what’s included in this season’s box… It’s such a good one, and I know many of you grabbed a second one to gift this Christmas season too!
BRASS BELL ORNAMENT // RAHAB’S ROPE
Rahab's Rope exists to empower women and children in the fight against human trafficking in India. Made by partner artisans who have been in the business of crafting these beautiful bells for three generations, I hope this bell will remind you of Mary’s song of faith each year when you place it on your Christmas tree.
CABIN SOCKS // SOLMATE
