Gift Guides, Sales, & Sunday Inspiration

Today is a mixture of Gift Guides, Sales, and my Sunday devotional. Grab a chair because this is a longer post than normal. I have accumulated some items that I feel are a great gift or items that I currently love on sale. I tend to shop more than I should in December, but I really can’t help it – the sales are so good! I like to shop the higher-end stores during the holidays to get the sale price, I hope you enjoy this post. The Sunday Inspiration is at the end of the post for those of you that like those. Have a wonderful Sunday, everyone!

Boys are sometimes hard to buy for when they get into their teens and as young adults. I asked Chase for his opinion on these gifts, some are add-on gifts, and some are more expensive, but they all would make a great gift for the guy in your life. Read the post here to see the descriptions.

Sunday Inspiration

Today I am sharing a short story devotional from this week, I thought it was fitting especially since it has to do with wearing a mask. How many of us walk around with a smile on our face, but deep down we feel tired, burdened, or alone and we are forcing a smile on our face? I smiled through a marriage that was abusive, horrible verbal abuse, and I was constantly feeling like I was walking on eggshells. I have learned that those years molded me spiritually more than I can imagine. I learned what faith was, I learned to lean on Jesus and depend on him. I grew leaps and bounds those years, even though I considered them to be the worst years of my life. I hope this helps someone today, it certainly did me. Stay safe girls and have a great Sunday!

On the outside, Olivia looked like she had it all together. She always wore a smile and never looked frazzled or tired. Her secret?

A mask. It was easy to look put together wearing a mask. No matter how out of sorts inside she felt, her mask was always smiling. No matter how bad the sickness from which she suffered was, her mask always looked healthy and vibrant.

Only there were a lot of problems with wearing a mask. For one, it kept her from getting better. Underneath the mask, Olivia was suffering from a terrible illness, and the mask only trapped it all inside, making it worse and keeping her from getting help. After all, others had no idea she was even sick!

One day, Olivia realized she couldn’t handle the mask any longer. She needed help. Hesitatingly, she allowed a friend to see under the mask. To her great surprise, her friend didn’t freak out. Instead, she pulled up her own mask, showing that she, too, was trapping an illness inside. Honest with each other at last, they were able to help one another and get the treatment they needed. Oh, how freeing it was to let the mask fall off!

“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.” 1 John 5:7 (ESV)

“Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” Galatians 6:2 (ESV)

“Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.” James 5:16 (ESV)
