Review and a GIVEAWAY!

The sweet folks at (in)courage by Dayspring have given me the opportunity to review their lovely necklace: God's Heart For You.  When it arrived in the mail, I opened up the tiny velvet pouch and pulled out a delicate silver chain with a one-inch pendant hanging from it. The words etched on each side of the pendant read: 

Created.  Celebrated.  Cherished.  Chosen.   

Today is Valentine's day, and while the stores are filled with people buying flowers & chocolate for their sweeties, I was struck by the perfect timing of the words inscribed on this necklace.  God's love for me is there every single day of the year, but so often I get too caught up in the business of life to pay attention.

As a child of God, it does not matter if I am married or single, rich or poor... I am Loved by God.  He Created me, Celebrates me, Cherishes me, and (my favorite) He Chose me.  Every time I slip this chain around my neck it serves as a wonderful reminder that I am precious in the sight of God.  I am reminded of love.  

This beautiful necklace can be purchased in either sterling silver or rhodium-plated. It is a very good quality and has a stylish design.  I've only worn it a couple times but I love it already!

And now for the really fun part!
