Christmas Prayer,
For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called

Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed.

People worked with what they had. So why not DIY Christmas? Redo and remake things and make them better than they were. I created a refrigerator magnet from junk mail and yarn. If you’d like to make one, download the directions here.
My guest this week was Tina Yeager. She wrote a book called Upcycled. Sometimes when we have been through a hard time, we feel totally useless, but the Lord can use all that heartache. Tina shows how. And he offers a free pattern for a gift here.
