❄For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders. And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of PEACE.

There Is Hope
Lyrics

There is hope in grace unceasing
You withhold Your wrath from me
Poured it out upon my Saviour
On the cross of Calvary
There is hope now for the hopeless
There is victory all can know
For the tomb lies bare and broken
And deaths pow'r is overthrown
Jesus Christ, my hope forever
Hope unlike the world can bring
Your steadfast love beyond all measure
There is hope in Christ my King
There is hope for sons and daughters
Who have wandered on their own
Hear the songs of joy from heaven
As the lost are welcomed home
Jesus Christ, my hope forever
Hope unlike the world can bring
Your steadfast love beyond all measure
There is hope in Christ my King
Hallelujah, hope of Heaven
Precious treasure of my life
All my joy is in Your presence
I am Yours and You are mine
Hallelujah, hope of Heaven
Precious treasure of my life
All my joy is in Your presence
I am Yours and You are mine
I will wait until I see Him
Though the twilight turns to night
For my hope is not defeated
It will greet His dawning light
Jesus Christ, my hope forever
Hope unlike the world can bring
Your steadfast love beyond all measure
There is hope in Christ my King
There is hope in Christ my King

The international color for hope is green💚 Yellow is the more traditional color for hope is💛 I used both colors for this box. You may think the box is a little 'bedazzled',and it is😀 When I think of my Hope, I think of heaven. In my mind this is maybe a little bit what heaven will look like💛💚💛

🍂HARVEST BEAUTY🍂
~ a prayer box ~

As long as the earth remains, there will be planting and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night.”
Genesis 8:22 NLT
🍂🌾🍁🍂🌾🍁🍂🌾🍁

I find this verse warmly comforting ...
No matter what life may bring us, some things remain the same. Just like the promise of the changing seasons.
Spring🍃
Summer🌸
Fall🍂
Winter❄
The seasons in our lives change as well. Isn't it glorious that our Heavenly Father watches over the world and watches over US in the world. How amazing is it that He loves us to notice the beauty He creates all around us. While, at the same time it is He who creates the beauty within us🍂

Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end.
Ecclesiastes 3:11

But for right now, until that completeness, we have three things to do to lead us toward that consummation:
TRUST STEADILY
in God,
HOPE UNSWERVINGLY, LOVE EXTRAVAGANTLY. And the best of the three is LOVE.

🌸KNOWN and LOVED🌸
~Lyrics~

God, You were there from my beginning
For I was crafted by Your hands
You see my hopes and hesitations
My days are written in Your plan
If You have seen my weakest moments
And still You love me even then
I need no greater confirmation
That God, Your goodness has no end
I come to Jesus, lay down my weakness
No need for hiding, here in His light
This truth I treasure, my peace forever
Is being known and loved by Him
I trust with Jesus, it is finished
For He has paid my every debt
No need to pull it all together
For what is broken He will mend
I come to Jesus, lay down my weakness
No need for hiding, here in His light
This truth I treasure, my peace forever
Is being known and loved by Him
Though I can't see the path before me
I know the One who knows the way
And as I walk, His hand will guide me
Until I see Him face to face
I come to Jesus, lay down my weakness
No need for hiding, here in His light
This truth I treasure, my peace forever
Is being known and loved by Him
Is being known and loved by Him

'A TIME TO HEAL'
🌸a prayer box🌸

*long post alert*😉
~my personal story~
.." a time to heal. A time to tear down and a time to build up. A time to cry and a time to laugh. A time to grieve and a time to dance. A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones. A time to embrace and a time to turn away. A time to search and a time to quit searching. A time to keep and a time to throw away. A time to tear and a time to mend. A time to be quiet and a time to speak."
Ecclesiastes 3:3‭-‬7 NLT

I have changed the name of my mixed media altered boxes. 'Prayer Boxes' are for anyone going through the process of emotional healing. From trauma, grief & depression. To anxiety and stress. They can also be used in Recovery from all addictions. Whether we are healing emotionally, physically, or both. We come to a place ... a time, when we understand the need to surrender. We realize we do not have the strength to heal ourselves, to forgive ourselves and to release ourselves from shame. As a way of letting go and letting God ... surrendering. I have found freedom in journaling my thoughts and putting them in my PRAYER BOX - Surrendering my will, leaving it with God - and physically walking away. This has been life changing for me. First with repentance and confession. Then, with the physical act of leaving what God has forgiven and redeemed IN THAT BOX!!!
For me it was SHAME that was the most difficult. The enemy just did not want me to walk in freedom. I kept picking it up again & again, living in defeat. JESUS paid for ALL our sin at the CROSS. By the GRACE of GOD - I choose VICTORY👑

But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.
Romans 5:8 NLT

'HARVEST DREAMS'
🏵a prayer box🏵

I said, ‘Plant the good seeds of righteousness, and you will harvest a crop of love. Plow up the hard ground of your hearts, for now is the time to seek the Lord, that he may come and shower righteousness upon you.’
Hosea 10:12 NLT
