Free Gratitude Journal from In Touch Ministries!

For a limited time (I'm not sure when the offer ends), In Touch Ministries is offering a cute little 90 day gratitude journal titled In All Things Give Thanks: 90 Days of Gratitude. I received mine and liked it so much that I thought I'd share it with you too. This helpful Christian resource was truly free; no shipping or handling or anything. Although this is a ministry that I donate to on occasion (I love their free In Touch Magazine too) I didn't at the time I ordered. Each page has a gratitude prompt and related Bible verse and it's a great way to increase your thankfulness.

I am grateful for you! May God bless you and keep you!

Don't Waste Your Trials

Just read Don't Waste Your Cancer by John Piper. You can download this free Christian resource (it's an 18 page booklet) here. It was written by Pastor John Piper on the eve of his prostate cancer surgery.

When I first read the title I was a bit shocked. It seemed insensitive. But usually John Piper's writing inspires, enlightens or encourages me in my Christian walk so I decided to read it, thinking more about whether I would use it as a resource for others than for myself but it turns out that I benefited from it after all.

When reading this booklet you could replace "cancer" with any affliction/trial that you are personally facing so it really applies to all Christians. I've been having some health challenges (not as serious as cancer) so I replaced "cancer" in the reading with "health challenges" and there were some eye openers for me. I hope if you read the booklet that you will be encouraged and challenged in your Christian faith. If you would like me to pray for you I'd be glad to do so. Just comment below or email me at lovejoypeas@gmail.com.

May God bless you and may you feel His loving presence in your life today.
