Takeaway Tuesdays: O Come, O Come, Emmanuel

Featured ~ Sarah Elizabeth Joy ~ Leave a comment

I’m shaking things up a little bit here in the month of December. I usually create a Scripture-based print. This month, in light of Christmas, I am sharing one of my favorite Christmas songs. I love the lyrics of “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel”. We often do not get to the third verse of the song, but it’s the greatest, I believe. It speaks of Jesus’s victory over the grave and death! I hope this Christmas season points you frequently back to Jesus, the true meaning of why we celebrate.

Takeaway Tuesdays: Romans 12:13

I’m anticipating the arrival of Thanksgiving. It is quite possibly my favorite holiday—convening friends and loved ones. Breaking bread and spending quality time. To pause and give thanks for all that God has given the past year. This month’s print is centered upon Romans 12, verse 13. Pursuing hospitality, and sharing in the needs of others. I hope that Thanksgiving is a time you can join me in practically applying this verse.

Takeaway Tuesdays: Psalm 3:3

I love the Fall. It is my favorite time of year. I love the changing of the colors, the beginning of the school year (as a school nurse, I get to experience this over and over again with every year that passes). Basically all the “fally” things make my heart swoon. I’ve created this month’s Takeaway Tuesday with a Fall theme. And even though Fall brings about change, God’s character does not shift with the seasons. He is steady; He is our shield (our protector), and the One we can rest in when everything else changes. Let your hearts be encouraged by this friends.

Takeaway Tuesdays: Hebrews 4:9-11

This month’s Takeaway Tuesday free print is inspired by a really great book I read this summer, Soul Rest, by Curtis Zackery. He encourages us to return to Sabbath, or rest that recharges us—causing us to recenter our hearts, and enter into communion with God.

I highly recommend this book, and I have been inspired to take time once per week to rest and recharge, and spend time with God in my own way. Some times it looks like family dinners, sometimes it is spent with friends. Other times it is spent taking things slowly and taking a nap. My “Sabbath” is usually on Sundays because church is already on this day, but it by no means has to be from sun down Saturday night to sun down Sunday night. The best part about Sabbath, to me, is the freedom in how I choose to enter into communion with God. I am loving my time knowing more about Him and His people.

The print I created for this month is to encourage you to think about setting aside time to Sabbath yourself. I highly recommend this weekly rhythm.

Takeaway Tuesdays: 1 John 3:16

I love the summer months when I get to go on adventures to different places. This summer I visited family in both Maryland and England. And though traveling is one of my favorite activities, I can’t help feel “home” when I attend my church of 11 years, Outward Church. This morning’s message was on 1 John 3:16. I was encouraged by Pastor Matt’s words, especially, “If there’s action-oriented love in your life, there’s evidence of your love for God.” I created August’s Takeaway Tuesday based upon this passage. I hope you enjoy this free print.

Takeaway Tuesdays: Proverbs 16:24

This post isn’t on a Tuesday. I know I’m breaking my own rules, but I honestly almost forgot to create a print for this month. You know when you can’t help but think there’s something you were needing to do, but can’t quite remember the task? I’ve realized I’m out of Tuesdays for the month of April, so I’m adding this free print in on a Saturday.

I’ve finished reading through the book of Proverbs. Such astuteness from Solomon. Here’s one of my favorites (although I have many in Proverbs). Let’s speak gracious words to one another.
