How This Could Be Your Best Gift + A Sale

For many of us the first thing we reach for in the morning is the phone. God offers to illuminate our day and path, but we choose the illumination of the screen. Something creeps in when we begin our day in the world before the Word.

Many of us struggle to give God the first of our day. We want to start a habit of morning prayer and Bible reading. Our intentions are good, but the distractions win.

I have something that may help you. And it could be the best gift you can give a friend or loved one this Christmas season. Plus I have a sale you don’t want to miss. So join me for today’s post.

We are entering a season of commercialism, materialism, and temptation to overextend and overspend.
