Brrr... the chill is in the air! Wow, Winter has finally arrived in a big way! We are getting a mix of rain, very high winds, snow, and very cold temperatures! So, my coats and winter accessories are my fashion go-to's.
I love a great coat. And when it comes to January, I rely on cold-weather accessories to keep me warm and toasty!
Having the right top layers always makes me feel put together and complete. Below, you will find a great collection of coats and accessories to keep you warm if you venture out in the cold and embrace the winter season stylishly. Stay Safe!

Today's blog post is all about wellness finds for our minds and health to start the new year.
How is your week going so far? We are bracing for snow and an arctic blast this weekend. I guess we are due since we have had above temperatures; it is January, after all.
Since we are going to be stuck inside, I decided to share some ways to get closer to God and take care of our temples that HE gave us.
If you’re looking for some home workouts, I follow Christ Glorified Fitness on Instagram and YouTube. Christina Arroyas is an AFAA Certified Group Fitness Trainer who loves JESUS!!! She wants to inspire us to stay active for the Lord physically & spiritually. I love how she incorporates scripture with her workouts. I always feel uplifted after working out with her.
A kickstart with something new always gives me that extra boost to get motivated. So, I've got you covered – from spiritual & devotional resources to workout wear, oils, and fitness equipment. See below for my complete list from Amazon, Dayspring, Sephora, Target, and Zappos to get us started. Let's get healthy together!

I wanted to share the song by Anne Wilson, which is wonderful to workout with but is also a great reminder that we know the one who makes us Strong!
Happy & Healthy Blessed New Year in Christ!

It's time for a knit refresh of some really cute and cozy sweaters from some of my favorite stores.
J.Crew Factory, Loft, Old Navy, Talbot's, Nordstrom, Draper James, Boden, and more have some great new arrivals, and I couldn't wait to share! Plus, I love all the online sales they are having right now!
I also included some lovely heart sweaters for those already shopping for Valentine's Day. So, let's get started!

I have a fun post for you today featuring some great new items for your home. As you begin to clean up from the holidays, you may want to refresh and discover new ways to add decor to your home that will bring a cozy winter style.
I know many of you like to start the new year with a clean and more spacious home after the holidays, which makes me sad. I am not one to take my decorations down quickly; I still enjoy the lights and the coziness they bring to each room during January. But if you want to refresh your home with new decor, I have a beautiful round-up of some of the latest arrivals that will renew your home for the new year!

Happy New Year, everyone! As we look to a new year and season full of so many opportunities, I think of my hopes and dreams, especially my prayers for 2024. I pray for God's peace, hope, and joy for you all in this new year HE has blessed us with! And for each of us to see the life-changing message of God's love. Christmas may be over and tucked away until next winter, but we can open our hearts to celebrate Jesus all year long!
Our family always likes to take DaySpring's Word of the Year Quiz to find our 2023 Word of the Year - just one word to help us focus on what God calls us to accomplish in the year ahead. My word for the year was Trust, which reminds me of an old hymn dear to my heart...
Trust and obey, for there's no other way
To be happy in Jesus but to trust and obey
Oh, Trust and obey, for there's no other way
To be happy in Jesus but to trust and obey
And 'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus
Just to take Him at His Word, Just to rest upon His promise, Just to know, "Thus saith the Lord."
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!
How I've proved Him o'er and o'er
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
Oh, for grace to trust Him more.
With Scripture, God gives us the answers we crave as we cling to HIS hope. So, let's turn to HIS Word as we focus on a direction for the next twelve months rather than resolutions that only last a few days. Let's look to the Lord for help to live our faith in 2024.
If you want to take Dayspring's Word of the Year Quiz - CLICK HERE.
Dayspring also has many things that can bring inspiration to our homes after December and into the new year; even a few simple changes to your home décor can bring more joy and peace to our hearts and our families!

I heard this new song yesterday on KLOVE from Katy Nichole, "My God Can." This song reminds us even though we might not be able to conquer all, there is still hope in Jesus! So, when we feel weak, God is strong! God never fails! With God, all is possible; when we can't, God can! The song is based on Phillipian 4:13. So, as we approach this new year, when we face different things and think I can't, know that God can! Please enjoy this new video from Katy Nichole below.
Happy Blessed New Year, Everyone!

I don't know about you, but I am still trying to soak up Christmas, even though many have turned their lights off and taken decorations down. On the days after Christmas, I try to shop, enjoy the season still, relax, and get some great bargains, too! I can get carried away with all the deals that are going on right now, but when you save and get great items, it is hard not to! I have my eye on this cute sweater from Talbot's pictured below; I may have to get it and gift it for next year!
So, If you're looking to shop the sales this week, I'm sharing the links you need to start shopping all the best after-Christmas sales now! Happy Shopping!

Merry Christmas, my Dear Friends!! I can't believe it’s almost here? We are trying to soak up all these last moments... family gathering, advent, wrapping presents, watching Christmas movies, and doing lots of baking! Enjoying every minute of this most wonderful time of the year!
I am truly thankful for all of you here who visit; it is such a blessing! Your kindness and support mean more to me than I could ever express. God Bless You All!
I wanted to share with you a sweet poem from Valerie Parr Hill; you may know her from QVC and all her beautiful home decor. This poem from her mother brighten my day, and I hope it does the same for you! It is so touching, and I knew it would be fitting to include it in my Christmas card to all of you.
I also try to share a touching Christmas story, and this year, I found one that melted my heart and brought tears of joy! I pray it blesses you as well!
Waiting…..Waiting for Christmas
by Elizabeth English
Herman and I finally locked our store and dragged ourselves home. It was 11 p.m., Christmas Eve. We’d sold almost all of our toys, and all of the layaway, except one package, had been picked up. But the person who had put a dollar down on that package never appeared.
Early Christmas morning, our 12-year-old son, Tom, Herman, and I were out under the tree opening up gifts. But there was something humdrum about this Christmas. Tom was grown up, and I missed his childish exuberance of past years. As soon as breakfast was over, he left to visit friends, and Herman disappeared into the bedroom, mumbling, “I’m going back to sleep.”
So there I was alone. It was nearly 9 a.m. Sleet mixed with snow cut the air outside. “Sure, glad I don’t have to go out on a day like today,” I thought to myself. And then it began—something I’d never experienced before. A strange, persistent urge. “Go to the store,” it seemed to say. “That’s crazy,” I said to myself, “no one opens shop on Christmas day.” For an hour, I fought that strange feeling. Finally, I could stand it no longer. I got dressed. I put on my wool coat, placed my hat on my head, and then my galoshes, scarf, and gloves. Once outside, the wind cut right through me, and sleet stung my cheeks. I felt ridiculous. I had no business being out in the bitter chill.
There was the store just ahead. “But, what in the world?” I wondered. In front of the store stood two little boys—huddled together, poorly dressed, and half frozen. One was about nine, the other six.
“Here she comes!” yelled the older one. “See, I told you she would come,” he said. The younger one’s face was wet with tears, but when he saw me, his eyes opened wide, and his sobbing stopped.
“What are you two children doing out here?” I scolded, hurrying them into the store.
“We’ve been waiting for you,” replied the older. “My little brother Jimmy didn’t get any Christmas. We want to buy some skates. That’s what he wants.”
I looked at the three dollars in his hand and at their expectant faces. Then I looked around the store. “I’m sorry,” I said, “but we have no ska….” Then my eye caught sight of the layaway shelf with its lone package. Could it be? I walked over and unwrapped the package. Miracles of miracles, there was a pair of skates!
Jimmy reached for them. “Lord,” I said silently, “let them be his size.” And miracle added upon miracle. They were his size. When the older boy finished tying the laces and saw that the skates fit perfectly, he stood up and presented the dollars to me.
“No, I’m not going to take your money,” I told him. “I want you to have these skates and use your money to get some gloves for your hands.” What I saw in Jimmy’s eyes was like a blessing. It was pure joy, and it was beautiful. My low spirits rose.
As I locked the door, I turned to the older brother and said, “How lucky that I happened to come along when I did. How did you boys know I would come?”
I wasn’t prepared for his reply. His gaze was steady, and he answered me softly. “I knew you would come. I asked Jesus to send you.”
The tingles in my spine weren’t from the cold. I knew God had planned this. As we waved goodbye, I returned home to a brighter Christmas than I had left.
Wishing you a Blessed Merry Christmas! What a beautiful season it has been... spreading HIS Joy and sharing Christmas ideas and blessings with you all! May your holiday be filled with HIS love, peace, joy, hope, and warmth as we celebrate the true meaning of Christmas...JESUS!!!!!
