All About MOM!
I have a story of a Mother in the Bible that I want to share with you along with a Free idea for an e-card and an Anita Renfroe Mother Marathon.
A great gift idea for your Mother on Mother's Day is to give her a book entitled, "Women of the Bible". My Mother and I have been having daily devotions with this book and the book has been very good and the time spent with my Mom has been awesome. Even if you don't get to see your Mom everyday, get her a copy and yourself a copy then do the book study over the phone.
One of the stories we read is from II Samuel 21 about a woman named Rizpah. If you think you know what a Mother's love is, just read this story and you will really understand a Mother's love. After her two sons had been killed, she took sackcloth and laid it on a rock near her son's bodies and stayed there to scare away the birds by day that would try to come and peck at their flesh and the animals that would try to drag their bodies away at night. Wow, that is some major Mother love but did this last a day, a week, a month. The Bible says that the executions of her son's took place at the beginning of the Barley season and she sat with them until the rain poured down, which would be from mid-April to early October so, that is about 6 months. She sat there until King David heard of her and her dedication and ordered that her sons be buried.
Some may have had or have a Mother like Rizpah but some may not be able to say that their Mother has the love and dedication that Rizpah had. For those who have a Mother like Rizpah be grateful and honor her and for those who may not have a Mother like Rizpah, love her anyway, build a bridge this Mother's Day and when you make that first step and pray for God to mend any broken relationship, trust that when you do your part, he will do His! God loves us all so much and will be all you need Him top be so, if you do not have your Mother with you on this Mother's Day, just let Him love you for He is your Mother, your Father, your everything!
OK... Now I have a few little fun things: First I wanted to share with you a new E-Card with Francesca Battistelli's latest hit, " THIS IS THE STUFF" send it to your Mom's e-mail as part of her Mother's Day celebration.

I also want to wish my awesome Mom a Happy and Blessed Mother's Day!

Keys Of The Kingdom
As you have been on this Treasure Hunt you will be actually learning what the Keys To The Kingdom are. In Matthew 16:19 it says,
"And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."
Jesus is telling us that we have the authority to bind and to loose but, how do we do that?
Do you have a problem or struggling with:
Sickness
Depression
Poverty
Fear
and you need:
Health
Joy
Fincances
Peace
Then all you have to do is take the authority that has been given to you in Jesus name and know that whatsoever you bind, will be bound and whatsoever you loose, will be loosed. For example you would pray:
"I take authority in the name of Jesus and I bind the spirit of fear out of my life in the name of Jesus."
Then when you bind something, you must also loose something so, you will then pray.
"and I loose peace into my life."
Take the Keys of the Kingdom and use them. There are so many promises in the word of God that we need to dig in and find them out, they are there for us to use and to help us to have a better life.
If you havn't figured it out by now, you final
"And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."

If you havn't figured it out by now, you final
KEY #4 is
" LOOSED IN HEAVEN "
Now take all the keys and e-mail them to me at: ablessedthing@att.net
The first person to e-mail me with the correct keys will win the first Earring Wednesday Contest.
Remember: The true treasure that you have found here is the Treasure of the knowledge of the Bible.

A Blessed New Year
Happy New Year everyone!! Welcome to 2011. I am so excited about all the great things that I know God will do in our lives for this upcoming year. My husband Greg and I always start out our New Year by fasting and prayer on January 1st. We pray for His blessings, direction, prosperity and so much more. We started doing this last year and I cannot tell all of the things that God did for us. Ok, you might think that we are crazy but we clean house spiritually ( if you wanna know more about spiritual house cleaning, let me know ), we then go around and anoint with oil our doorways, and any other place where God would lead us, we also anoint the four corners of our property. It was so funny, last spring my roses and all my other plants bloomed like never before, and then last fall I had several mum plants in my flower bed that I had planted the year before and they were the most pitiful plants that you have ever seen but, much to my surprise, last fall they bloomed to about 3 feet in diameter and 2 feet tall, they were beautiful and I couldn't believe it. Greg then reminded me that we had anointed the four corners of our property and that was just God blessing. Although we are already into January 2011 it is not too late for you to set aside a few hours one day to fast and pray for this new year.
Back in December we had our very first home show with a lovely lady, Pat Lewis and her family. The show went great, we sold some things and had a great time of fellowship.

Starting Monday January 17th, you can also enter our newest contest
" MY FUNNY VALENTINE "
to win a Valentine's Day prize package worth over $50.00.

A Blessed Thanksgiving
We are only one week away from the biggest shopping day of the year. After eating turkey and dressing and visiting with family, it's time to get started on our Christmas Gift List. A Blessed Thing wants to give our shoppers plenty of reasons to logon to our store on Black Friday, to get some great deals on gifts that will be a blessing to whoever receives them. Starting Monday November 22nd - Friday November 26th, I will be releasing one new video each day to highlight products from the store that will make your Christmas giving a breeze. I will even have some products that will be brand new to the site.
Then starting on Black Friday November 26 - Monday November 29 we will offer "FREE SHIPPING" on all orders as well as 15% OFF with the coupon code to be given out on the upcoming videos. You do not want to miss this opportunity to save on some great gifts for Christmas.
As Thanksgiving approaches, I want to encourage each of you to truly reflect on what you are thankful for. For alot of folks it has been a tough year financially or perhaps even the loss of a loved one but if you really look at your life, you will see areas that God has brought you through, you will see family and friends who have loved and stood by you. I suggest that you savour every minute of your life and this Thanksgiving give thanks to the Lord for all He has done for you, and all the great things He is planning for your future.
Happy Thanksgiving From A Blessed Thing,

The Blessing of Today
We here at A Blessed Thing are gearing up for the Holiday Season and have added our Christmas Items to the store. You will find all kinds of great decorations, gift ideas and maybe even a little something for you. We will also be adding new Christmas items every week through December 13th. so, stop on by each week and check out our new items.
We seem to rush through life living everyday just to make it until tomorrow, all the while missing out on the blessing of today. Our days seems to go like this: Wake up ( mostly too early) eat a bite of breakfast and perhaps sip a cup of coffee on the way to work. Drive to work and hopefully it is only a short distance but for most people about 30-45 min. and while they are driving try to avoid being hit, run over or sideswiped by all the other drivers trying to get to work just like us. Get to work on time, if there hasn't been a backup today which for most freeway drivers is at least twice a week. Make it through the day at a job that you either can't stand or tolerate because you really need to be able to eat. Once the day is over, head back out in the traffic, get home, eat dinner, go to bed. UGH! I hope your days are not like this.
What your day should look like:
Wake up and pray for the Lord to Bless your day and give you favor.
Play a Christian CD or Christian radio while you get through traffic or just spend more time talking to the Lord.
When you get to work, thank God for your job and that he will promote you and lead you into the positions that you should have but be content in the state that you are in. Do your work as unto the Lord.
Once you get home make it a point to relax for some time before bed, go for a run, a walk or read a good book or the Bible.
Go to bed once you have thanked the Lord for the day that He gave you.
Don't miss the blessings of everyday just trying to make it through til the next. Look for beauty of the master's hand in the sunrise, sunset, trees, laughter, a friend, family and that the Lord just loves you so very much.
One word..................CONTEST!............................Yea!! We will be giving away a free red bling cross top to the person who gets the most people to follow us on Facebook. For your friends who are on Facebook just share the site with them and have them post a message on A Blessed Thing wall telling me that you sent them. On your mark.. get set.. go........
