Exciting Spring Scentsy Giveaway!

Spring has sprung here at A Wise Woman Builds Her Home and we have an exciting giveaway from Scentsy to celebrate!

We are breaking out the lovely spring decor and what better way to add the finishing touches than with Scentsy wickless candles! They have some great new looks for spring--like the Dotty Warmer pictured above (on sale now for $27).

This Celtic Love Knot warmer -$30 can freshen up any home!

Scentsy wickless candles use a light bulb to melt wax cubes in a small plate, making it much safer than an open flame.  Safety is one of the major benefits of this product. No burning means no smoke in the air. The fragrant wax is chosen because it melts at a lower temperature and won't burn a child if they were to stick their hand in it. The warmer itself feels like a coffee mug when it is hot.They also have 80 incredible scents from which to choose that makes a better selection than an air fresheners from the store!

I LOVE this one---it is called the Grapevine Warmer. Isn't she gorgeous? I could think of about ten places I would like to see this warmer at in my home.The openings on the side also give a lovely glow on the walls in any room they are displayedand you can also buy mid-sized warmers starting at only $25.

These would make great gifts for Easter or Mother's Day!

They also sell plug in warmers as pictured below in nice spring colors and their scent of the month is Jumpin Jelly Bean. I also like the bars they have featured in their new Spring and Summer Collection. If you didn't also know they have a fabulous line of sprays, foams, travel tins, stuffed animals and more.

Would you like to find  Scentsy warmers for the men in your home?

The Patriot Collection has a warmer for every branch of service-Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force--even one for the Coast Guard!

And with baseball season starting this week, this Play Ball Warmer makes a great and timely gift for the sports enthusiast in your life. They also have a sports collection complete with basketball, soccer and football. 

(Shhh, don't tell my sons!)

This book and The Life of Washington by Anna C. Reed (a reprint from the past) are excellent books for our families  that help us learn about our historic paths and our priceless heritage in a fun and comprehensible way.

Marilyn Boyer has given all of us who love our country a real treasure. For You They Signed captures an important but little-known history of 56 brave men who risked everything so we could be free. Marilyn's easy to read, succinct summaries of the lies and faith of these forefathers will inspire you and enable you to poss on this rich heritage to your children. The questions after each chapter help you to make this party of your American history curriculum or an effective weekly evening study. This interesting and challenging, well-researched collection of biographies is truly inspirational. 

--Christ Klicka

Steve and Danny Thompson Hymns -Three CD Giveaway!

As a mother, I have made it a point to use music to paint a portrait in our home. I have also determined that if I am raising up children for the Lord, that I would like them to learn the legendary and historical hymns of their faith, so I purpose throughout the day to have hymns playing so that they can learn these songs and the words naturally.

This has helped my children so much--now whenever we walk into almost any church that plays hymns they feel comfortable because they know the words to the song. It is like an old friend that greets them and helps them to feel comfortable in their surroundings. They also like to  give me knowing smiles when a special hymn is played and they know the words. I love when my little sons do that because it affirms what I am doing and know that it is already benefiting them at a young age. My older daughter has also been blessed by this choice of listening to hymns in our home, because now she is helping out on a worship team and when she is assigned a song, she has less trouble with the rhythm because she remembers it from our home. I can also imagine my children when they are older hearing these hymns and having fond memories of their precious childhood that will warm their heart as the years go by--these hymns are truly timeless.

Now with all this talk about hymns,  I would love to introduce you to--Steve and Danny Thompson!

Steve and Danny Thompson are two brothers who grew up in a missionary family in Honduras and Chile and wanted to share with their generation the rich hymns of our heritage. The result is a wonderful debut CD entitled How Firm a Foundation  which includes a soothing blend of vocals, classical guitar, cello, violin and piano combined to give you an uplifting moment of quiet contemplation of biblical truth. "Our ultimate desire is that our music would serve to bring biblical truth to bear on the listener's mind in order to encourage godliness." They are currently living in Missouri and serving the Lord  at Fair Grove Baptist Church as musicians. You may read more about them here.  Featured below is a video clip of them doing Charles Wesley's Hark the Herald Angels Sing to their own gentle and original tune:

(Reminder: Please turn off the music in the sidebar before listening! Thank you!)

 Their music is soothing, calm and relaxing--helping the listener to focus their hearts on the Lord and point their eyes and hearts to the heavens. Here are the songs included on their CD:

How Lovely is Thy Dwelling Place

For the Beauty of the Earth

How Firm a Foundation

O For a Thousand Tongues

Depth of Mercy

Nothing But the Blood

The Old Rugged Cross

 and more...


They are currently having a special sale for the month of December--buy one CD, get the 2nd one half off  when you order the CD from cdbaby. The price is $11.99 or you can download it for $9.99.

Now I am excited to share with you that Steve and Danny Thompson are giving away not one--but THREE  CD's! So three of you will have a chance to win a free CD!  All you have to do to enter is--leave a comment with your email (if you don't have a blog).

The Family Daughter: Becoming Pillars of Strength In Our Father's House Giveaway!

I feel so honored and blessed to share this wonderful book with you--The Family Daughter: Becoming Pillars of Strength in our Father's House that I received from the author Miss Sarah Bryant. It is sooooo hard to find books that inspire girls, both young and old, in godliness nowadays and this is exactly the kind of book that I would look for and buy for my daughters.

Sharing from her own struggles and triumphs, Miss Bryant, who is the oldest daughter of eight, encourages young ladies to become vital cornerstones in their father's home while preparing for godly womanhood. Filled with encouragement and personal testimonies, The Family Daughter is a book that will help Christian daughters begin the journey of being their family's pillar of strength and virtue.

What I so enjoyed about the book was that she shares real life struggles with biblical solutions, so that everyone girl can relate. Not only that, but there are also other daughters that share little bits of nuggets of wisdom, I think this is vitally important so that our daughters can learn from multiple daughters who have much to offer in experience. There is valuable teaching on godly character--from contentment, encouraging their brothers and sisters, gentleness, how to take correction...truly a treasure trove of wisdom!

Here is what Mrs. Jennie Chancey, author of Passionate Housewives Desperate for God, had to say about this book:

"...In this utterly transparent book, Sarah Bryant speaks from her heart about the daily walk of the daughter at home. Sharing her own struggles and triumphs, Sarah demonstrates that it is grace that animates our calling as godly women and that God is faithful to equip us as we joyfully submit to His sanctifying power... I was not only refreshed by Sarah's honest words; I was convicted anew of areas I need to work on as a wife and mother! If you are a daughter at home, this book will encourage you to pursue the Lord's work with new vision..."

I couldn't have put it more beautifully myself! Here is an excerpt  from the section Encouraging Manly Brothers:

"Do you realize what a great influence you are in your brother's life? My life is helping mold my brothers into the kind of men they will become. It humbles me to think that the traits my brothers see in me also is chiefly  how they will think of womanhood, and also what they someday will look for in a wife. I deeply regret the opportunities I have allowed to slip past, when I could have positively influenced my brother's lives. I have so much precious time, and I am now learning from my mistakes. I want to encourage you to redeem the days you have with your brothers now; the way you use this time may influence generations. Our lives are impacting the kind of husband, father, and leader they will be as they become men. We have an opportunity today to encourage these future fathers to live in a way which will honor the Lord--we can influence potentially hundreds of descendants."

This vision is what is missing from today's culture---daughter's need to see the influence they can have for Jesus Christ in the bigger picture and not just be focused upon themselves. This is what I love about this book and why I will encourage my own daughters to read it as well!

 

Miss Sarah Bryant is also the founder of The King's Blooming Rose Ministry and editor of The King's Blooming Rose, a magazine that encourages young ladies to the grow of their Christian walk. The magazine is filled with  wonderful things such as poems, yummy recipes, craft projects, book reviews, homemaking tips, herbal and nutrition information, beautiful photography, pen-pal requests, and annual contests, that you also might be interested in. If you are looking for great resources for your daughter or granddaughters--you've found it! These would also make a great gift for Christmas:

Through each issue, you will meet hundreds of other young ladies who are seeking the Lord and serving their families. Their prayer is that readers would be inspired to live a closer daily walk with Jesus through the fellowship and encouragement of other believers.

Now I am happy to announce that we are having a giveaway of this wonderful book---all you have to do is leave a comment with your email if you do not have a blog!

(U.S. residents only, please!)
