The Holiday Box is here!
Theme Verse: “With this news, strengthen those who have tired hands, and encourage those who have weak knees. Say to those with fearful hearts, “Be strong, and do not fear, for your God is coming to destroy your enemies. He is coming to save you.” And when he comes, he will open the eyes of the blind and unplug the ears of the deaf. The lame will leap like a deer, and those who cannot speak will sing for joy!” Isaiah 35:3-6
Whether 2024 was an amazing year or a difficult one (or somewhere in between), I hope this box is a bright spot in your holiday season. If your body is tired and your soul is weary, my prayer is that the good news of Jesus Christ will be a beacon of light and a balm of hope to you. That you’ll be reminded that He is coming back again. That regardless of the hardships you face in this life, you can find a measure of peace for today, simply by knowing that one day He will restore all things. After all, that is one of the reasons Jesus came. Let’s remember God’s promise of the end of the story while we celebrate the beginning of Jesus’ life on earth.
The 2024 Holiday Box includes…
RECYCLED METAL DEER ORNAMENT // VI BELLA
Since 2011, Vi Bella has provided life-changing employment to artisans in Haiti and Mexico. This beautiful ornament is handmade (literally with a hammer and chisel!) by their metal artisan, Jhonson, and his team from discarded 55 gallon oil drums in Haiti. I hope you think of Isaiah 35 each time you see it, reminding you that “the lame will leap like deer and those who cannot speak will sing for joy” when Christ returns!
