God's Good GiftsThis series helps women create compelling scrapbook pages that focus on deep, personal elements of spiritual heritage. These 12 sessions provide a scrapbooking adventure that covers topics true to women's hearts, such as: church, myself, freedom in Christ, home, rest, fun, God's world, my purpose, children, sisterhood, family, and my relationship with God. Includes a devotion with each scrapbook project!Myself"When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers-the moon and the stars you have set in place- What are mortals that you should think of us, mere humans that you should care for us? For you made us only a little lower than God, and you crowded us with glory and honor."Psalm 8: 3-5
Church"Without wavering, let us hold tightly to the hope we say we have, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. Think of the ways to encourage one another to outbursts of love and good deeds. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage and warm each other, especially now that the day of his coming back again is drawing near."Hebrews 10: 23-25
Home"A house is built by wisdom and becomes strong through good sense. Through knowledge it's rooms are filled with all sorts of precious riches and valuables"Proverbs 24: 3-4
Rest"Have you never heard or understood? Don't you know that the Lord is the everlaating God, the Creator of all the earth? He never grows faint orweary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding. He gives power to those who are tired and worn out; he offers strength to the week. Even youths will become exhausted, and young men will give up. But those who wait on the Lord will find new strength. They will fly high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not be faint."Isaiah 40: 28-31
Fun"But let the godly rejoyce. Let them be glad in God's presence. Let them be filled with joy."Psalm 68: 3
Freedom in Christ"So if the Son sets you free, you will indeed be free."John 8: 36
God's World"He is the God who made the world and everything in it. Since he is Lord of heaven and earth, he doesn't live in man-made temples, and human hands can't serve his needs- for he has no needs. He himself gives life and breath to everything, and he satidfies every need there is. From one man he created all the nations thoughout the whole earth. He decided beforehand which should rise and fall, and he determined their boundries.""His purpose in all of this was that the nations should seek after God and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him-though he is not far away from any of us. For in him we live and move and exist. As one of your own poets says. We are his offspring." Acts 17: 24-28
My Purpose"And so we keep on praying for you, that our God will make you worthy of the life to which he called you. And we pray that God, by his power, will fulfill all your good intentions and faithful deeds. Then everyone will give honor to the name of our Lord Jesus because of you, and you will be honored along with him. This is all made possible because of the undeserved favor of our God and Lord, Jesus Christ."2 Thessalonians 1:11-12
Children"Hear, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord alone. And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. And you must commit yourselves whole-heartedly to these commands I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk to them when you are at home and when you are away on a journey, when you are lying down and when you are getting up again."Deuteronomy 6: 4-7
Sisterhood"Dear Friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other. No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love has been brought to full expression through us."1John 4: 11-12
Family"I pray that out of his glourious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide andlong and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know his love that surpasses knowledge- that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God"Ephesians 3: 16-19 (NIV)
My Relationship With God"For the Lord your God has arrived to live among you. He is a mighty savior. He will rejoice over you with great gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will exult over you by sining a happy song."Zephaniah 3:17
