Cards and Gifts With Inspirational Messages

As believers we know that there is much more to life than chasing after worldly things.  When hard times come we are never alone and that prayer is necessary to bring about important changes.
Encouraging others is always a good thing, Christian or not, and we all need to hear encouraging words with sincere meaning and hope and I most always count on scripture to give me those words.
Some people have never read the Bible and view it as a strange book full of old ideas which are meaningless in these days.

Wrong!  Now more than ever we need the hope that comes from God's word. 


I am thankful for a Pastor who showed me the way, and from that thankfulness created Pastor Appreciation cards.  I believe in the awesome power of prayer and have seen answers to my prayers when I didn't believe there could be any good answer.

We serve an awesome God and his encouraging words deserve to be shared.

Beautiful Postcards With a Hopeful Message


Jeremiah 29:11 holds some of the most important words for us to hear. Knowing that God has plans for us and wants us to be prosperous and happy in life is always reason to go on. We are not just plopped down on the planet wandering aimlessly through life. We have a purpose and reason for being here.
Another card here has scripture from Matthew 6 which tells us not to put our trust in worldly things that can be destroyed, but to "store up our treasures in heaven" and those will last for all time.

Praying For You


One of the best things to do for someone is to pray for them...and let them know it! Encourage a sick neighbor or friend who is having a tough time or send one to a church leader. "I'm praying for you!" are encouraging words.

Mousepads Keep Encouragement Close By

Who doesn't need a reminder from time to time of all that God is capable of doing? The diversity on this planet is all I need to think about to lift my spirits because it shows God's great power and reminds me that he is in control. From majestic mountains to tiny seashells, He created them all. And he loves for us to ask, "Show me even more!"


Unsearchable Ocean mousepad
Jeremiah 33:3 says to "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know." When I made this mouse pad, I was thinking that there are many things we human beings still don't know - such as how many more spectacular creatures must the oceans hold.

Support For the Church Leaders

Religious leaders of the Christian faith may seem to have an easy job. After all they only work on Sunday morning ...right?

If you know anything at all about the way the "church" works, you know the above statement is far from true. Members of the clergy are some of the busiest people around and they seldom get time off from their "job".


Ocean Surf Appreciation card


They are needed for weddings, baptisms and christenings and called in the middle of the night for family emergencies and hospital visits. They are usually the ones we turn to for Christian advice in the trials of life and they must come up with wonderful sermons and messages each Sunday of the year.

All the responsibilities and decisions of the church fall on their shoulders and they usually have families of their own to attend to as well.

Our spiritual leaders don't have it as easy as it might appear to some and they do appreciate being recognized and thanked for the important difference they make in our lives.

I Like This Verse From Daniel For Those Who Lead

Pastors and church leaders are our shining lights

Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens,
and those who lead many to righteousness,
like the stars for ever and ever.

Daniel 12:3

What About 2012?

And important prophesies of the Bible

Much has been said lately about the Mayan - and other- predictions that the world will end on 12/21/2012. I believe that the world as it is will end, and soon - we are definitely living in the end times, but I don't believe it will be on this date. The reason I am sceptical is because in the book of Mark (Mark 13:32) Jesus tells his disciples this concerning the day of the end, "No one knows about that day or the hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father."
