The Simple Blessings of Christmas
| If you are like me, you buy gifts for the closest people in your life around the key gift-giving seasons of the year: birthdays, Christmas, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, etc. But the other day I asked myself, “When was the last time I purchased a gift for that significant person outside of a special occasion?” I couldn’t remember. So I put into action what I haven’t done in a long time. I got online and purchased a gift for my mom.

DOGWOOD
The DOGWOOD is a picture of the sacrifice of a Mother’s love. The blossoms are formed in the shape of a cross with the crown of thorns in the center and the nail prints at the tip of each petal… reminding us of the ultimate sacrifice of our Lord. A Mother’s love enables her to give up her right to personal freedom in order to care for her baby. She is willing to sacrifice “self” for the sake of her child, just as the Lord Jesus sacrificed Himself for each of us. “Live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” Ephesians 5:2 (NIV) Before you were conceived, I wanted you. The deepest fountains of love are found at the cross of Christ and in a Mother’s heart. “This is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.” I John 4:10 (NIV) Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body. (Elizabeth Stone) |

| One Solitary Life By James A. Francis (about the author)
Ken Blanchard, author of the “One Minute Manager” first heard One Solitary Life at the end of the Christmas pageant at the Crystal Cathedral in Orange, California. He says this: “The first time I heard One Solitary Life, it hit me like a ton of bricks. It put in perspective that all of the pushing in life for wealth, power and status doesn’t really mean anything. What really matters is what you do for others.” Through some digging he found that the story came from a powerful essay from a 1926 sermon by James A. Francis depicting the life, journey and message of Jesus. No other man, army or movement has affected the people on this earth as much as his “One Solitary Life.” Years later Ken met with Mac Anderson, founder of Simple Truths, and the project went into motion and we are proud to offer you this classic story beautifully laid out in a gift book you will be proud to give as well as a movie that will help you put your life into perspective and feel renewed and blessed. Ken Blanchard writes a powerful foreword and offers meaningful reflections about how Jesus made a difference with his life… and what we can do with ours. One Solitary Life
