“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love.

If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.

These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.”

So many beautiful reminders of His love & faithfulness. Your choice for 1️⃣9️⃣!

✨ A jar of good things in plain sight encourages us to celebrate moments big & small ✨

Take a moment to read this excerpt from The Magnolia Journal. It’s SO good!

“When we document life’s simple joys, we can look back and see the richness woven throughout our days.

They are the little things that make life worth living—moments that make us laugh, pause in wonder, and really see each other.

If you’d like to nurture new gratitude in your everyday, it simply takes a willingness to be present and a few minutes to write it all down.

Find a large jar, place it in plain sight, and keep strips of paper close by. Encourage family and friends to add their one good thing daily, and pick a special occasion to read them all aloud.

You may be surprised at the beauty that greets you there.

In the act of collecting and remembering, we see magic hidden in the ordinary. The moments, big and small, we don't want to forget.”

Yes! 💯 Justin and I did this our first year together and we laughed so much reading them all back on New Year’s Eve! 🥹

“Throughout the Bible, from the Old Testament to Revelation, God reveals His plans to rescue us, His intentions to give us the freedom we crave. He reassures us that rescue is coming, that He won’t leave us sinking in sand or rattling our chains. He will not leave us trapped in either the circumstances this world has buried us under or the consequences we’ve pulled onto our own heads by our choices. God promises that freedom will be ours, and then He tells us that freedom is found in Christ.”

My little corner of calm in our room that needed some refreshing. And there is nothing more refreshing than His reminders of Grace & Peace.

John 16:33 says, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

📖THAT: DAYSPRING HOPE & ENCOURAGEMENT BIBLE | SEAFOAM HARDCOVER CLOTH - NLT

WAS $50, NOW $25

When you feel lost in the mundane, God says you have a purpose.
When fear creeps in, God says you are held.
When you wonder if anyone notices, God says you are important.
When you feel isolated, God says you are not alone.

The DaySpring Hope & Encouragement Bible amplifies 12 Indisputable Truths about who you are in Christ. These truths equip you to recognize and embrace your treasured place in God’s heart.

The 12 Indisputable Truths Are:

• You are loved
• You are not alone
• You are known
• You are important
• You are forgiven
• You are special
• You have purpose
• You are held
• You are equipped
• You are blessed
• You are guided
• You have a reason for hope

Armed with this knowledge, you will be able to face any challenge, step into your toughest calling, and live the adventure God has for you.

Regardless of what you face today, embracing the truth of who God says you are will lead you to experience hope and encouragement like never before.

I’m so thankful for our growing community of hope-sharers & light-bearers. Making Him known, not only across our nation, but throughout the world with our Compassion partnership. I have so much gratitude for the eternal hope & encouragement we get to share every day, together. 🤍

Walking through loss has opened my eyes to how often I allowed my own limited perspective to take over in difficult moments. Now, after seven years of seeing glimpses of God’s bigger plan, I find myself shifting my mindset more easily to His eternal perspective. It’s my daily prayer.

“Lord, give me eyes to see with even a hint of Your perspective.”

Thankful for this small but mighty devotional that came with my beautiful Take Heart throw. 🫶🏼

Let me know if I can help you send one to a friend today. 🤍

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John‬ ‭16‬:‭33‬

SEVEN YEARS

of answered prayers, faith-building, story-sharing, community-building, and a million little moments in-between.

JOHN 3:16

God brought Mary & Martha into my life one month after my world was turned upside down and not-so-coincidentally on 3/16/2016, I took a leap of faith that led me to ALL. OF. THIS. 🥹

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

ETERNAL LIFE. ETERNAL HOPE.

Spending my days sharing the hope that fuels me has been the biggest blessing. I can't wait to see what God does with year seven of this journey!

A GIFT FOR YOU
..for being one of my 7 ladies to help me share hope & encouragement this month! Choose any one of these gifts FREE from me!

THANK YOU

for celebrating each year with me! Praying each product you own & each Message you read touches your heart in God's perfect timing.

linktr.ee/share.serve.connect

"For little things...for big things...for all things...there is room in the heart to be thankful.

We don't have a God who steps in and out of our lives, but One who is ever present, always faithful, and deeply loving.

He is in every circumstance, each moment, and all of our days.

When we choose to begin with thankfulness - no matter what we're doing - we choose God's path to true joy.

And that is a beautiful place to be."

This message graces the bottom of our FAVORITE vintage-inspired pitcher!

Let’s begin this week sharing a little thing or a big thing your heart is thankful for! 👇🏼

How many totes can fill your mind with God’s Word while you fill it with groceries, kids toys, beach necessities, dorm must-haves, road trip essentials, etc! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

🌿Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. II Peter 3:18🌿

I. love. these. totes. …add Scripture and it’s now not only functional, but foundational!

These words that God gave my friend Erica Stidham back in 2016 say it all:

“Mary & Martha is where pretty becomes powerful, lovely becomes life-giving, and functional becomes foundational to our faith.”

This is just one of eight beautiful pieces you voted to go on s•a•l•e for March Gladness happening right now!
