(As you can see, I was so excited about announcing the winner of this giveaway, I got a bit carried away and recruited my sons and husband [who took the video]....oh well, it's good for them! If they had any pride before this video, I obviously was a HUGE help in ridding them of it! Aren't I such a thoughtful mom? LOL!)

Please visit our sister Raye Ann, read her entry and offer her your warmest, cheeriest congratulations!

CONGRATULATIONS sister Raye Ann!

I've been praying about this contest as well as the winner. I've already prayed for God to bless you and use your heart to testify His love to the lost, so that they too, may know the rich treasure that is found in Christ Jesus alone - salvation from the bondage of sin and the penalty of death in the eternal Lake of Fire.

May you be richly blessed as you faithfully administer the word of God entrusted to you! And may the LORD our God give you all spiritual wisdom and understanding to know His will as you read through the materials and diligently use this giveaway to share the Good News of God's greatest giveaway....the life of His Son, the Savior of the world, Jesus Christ the Lord! :-)

Just a quick reminder that Thursday, November 20th. is the absolute last day for the "Keeping Christ in Christmas" giveaway. Click the button below for the details on how to enter.

Bless you all! :-)

If you REALLY want to be blessed, read all the comments and visit those who have entered and posted testimonies of how Christ saved them, how grateful they are for their salvation, and what they plan to do with the prize!

"He who has prepared for us this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a guarantee. So that we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, for we walk by faith, not by sight. Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil."
~ 2 Corinthians 5:5-10

Therefore let us all live as if it were everyone's last day and redeem the time we have left here on earth. Let us compassionately do the work of an evangelist and preach the Gospel of Christ to the utter ends of the earth, while it is still Day.

As we are quickly approaching both Thanksgiving and Christmas, I thought it would be good if I did a giveaway that was not only generous, but also mindful of what we're most thankful for: our salvation in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Every year, in this fallen world, children of God are always looking for ways to keep our Lord Jesus Christ the center of our Christmas. Therefore, I've chosen a package giveaway, for anyone who desires to demonstrate their gratitude and love for our Lord Jesus, in honor of the greatest giveaway this world has ever known - His very life.

There is no greater treasure, than Jesus Christ Himself. And no greater gift we can pass on to others, than the Gospel of His sacrificial love - our Savior's sweet song of salvation.

This giveaway starts today, Friday, November 14, 2008 and will end next Thursday, November 2o, 2008. The winner will be randomly drawn by someone in my family (not me) and I will announce the winner on Friday, November 21, 2008.

Total monetary value of this package giveaway? Over $70.00. Total eternal value of this package giveaway? Priceless!

This giveaway is for those of you who are so grateful for your salvation, you desperately want to share the Gospel with others, but are not sure how and/or scared and want to evangelize biblically, effectively, and not "in your face-erly". Or for those of you who already evangelize with great compassion, and would just like more resources. If you fall into any of these categories, than this giveaway is for YOU!

By the way, if you win and would like to share the "What If" wristbands and "I Trust In Jesus" magnet with your kids, family or friends, just tell me how many extra you'd like and I'll send them to you! 'Tis the season to give generously....in honor of the Reason why we're celebrating! Amen?

Oh, and kids are eligible to enter and win as well! Anyone who loves Christ, is grateful for their salvation and would LOVE resources to help them be more effective in reaching a lost world for Jesus - ARE ALL ELIGIBLE to ENTER!

Can't wait to hear from you! I'm honored to have the privilege of blessing you, as you honor Christ this Christmas with your heart set on the reason why He came.
