Over the last couple of days my family and I went on a sort of mini-vacation to a little town in Indiana…where we got to see our first snow of the year! We were very blessed to avoid any accidents on the road (we happened to be driving exactly when the ice on the roads was the worst…we ended up seeing around six or seven accidents in just a couple hours of driving), and once we got there we could just sit back and enjoy winter like we normally don’t experience it at home. ;) North Carolina, of course, only…

So we ended up going with a hand-lettered design (turned into a stamp) on brown kraft paper, printed lyrics + music on the inside, and tied everything together with hemp and twine. I still have more to do (we’re sending out nearly fifty!), but…
Monday Inspiration
I’ve been thinking today about the shortness of life. And how fragile and precious it is. It can be taken away in a second – one moment there’s life, then next it’s been snuffed out. Each life is of the utmost importance and value. From the unborn child to the oldest person – even the people who might not seem “worth it” to another. Life is a gift of God. And it is not something to be taken away unjustly. When things like the thought of death and how real it is come to mind, it reminds me every time…
