Scripture Bags: January Edition

A few months ago I went to a fundraiser for our local maternity home. I drove home that night thinking that I wanted to start doing something for the sweet mamas staying at the home each month. I decided that surrounding them with scripture to remind them of God’s great love for them would be my goal and that each month I’d give them a bag full of scripture. As I finished the bags for this month and prayed for these sweet mamas this morning, I thought I’d share what I put in each bag in case you have someone that needs to be reminded how loved they are. It only takes a few minutes and can cost almost nothing!

In the bags this month I included:

• The Faith Scripture Writing plan. You can print out a copy HERE. 
• A copy of the Counting the Fruit worksheet. You can print out a copy HERE. 
• Exodus 14:14 print. You can print out a copy HERE. 
• A coaster of Micah 5:5 I created a few years ago. 
• A small devotional book. I found these at Hobby Lobby near the checkout area and they were only $2.49. You can find them HERE. 
• A magnet with Mark 9:23 on it. These I found at Hobby Lobby near the cards. They had tons of verses and were only 99 cents each! You can find this one HERE. 
• A printable that reminds they they are chosen, redeemed, adopted, brave, forgiven and beloved. You can print out a copy HERE. 

Total it cost me about $4 a bag. It doesn’t have to be expensive at all- you can truly use what you have! 

Pray for God to show you someone who needs a little encouragement and a reminder that they are loved and create your own Scripture Bag surprise for them today!

Scripture Bags: December Edition

A few months ago I went to a fundraiser for our local maternity home. I drove home that night thinking that I wanted to start doing something for the sweet mamas staying at the home each month. I decided that surrounding them with scripture to remind them of God’s great love for them would be my goal and that each month I’d give them a bag full of scripture. As I finished the bags for this month and prayed for these sweet mamas this morning, I thought I’d share what I put in each bag in case you have someone that needs to be reminded how loved they are. It only takes a few minutes and can cost almost nothing!

In the bags this month I included:

• This set of 4 printable Christmas gift cards/tiny prints printed on cardstock. You can print a copy HERE. 
• A 5x7 print of Exodus 14:14 that I printed on cardstock. You can print a copy HERE. 
• This set of 12 verses with a plaid background printed 4 per page on cardstock. You can print a copy HERE. 

• This super cute coffee mug that I found at HEB for $5. It's huge and so cute! I filled it with hot chocolate. 

• An adorable Christmas ornament I found at Hobby Lobby. It was $3.99 but on sale for 50% off. 

• A copy of The Birth of Christ Scripture Writing plan for December.  You can print out a copy HERE. 

Everything in the bag I already had except the mug, hot chocolate, ornament and the bags themselves. Total it cost me about $7 a bag. It doesn’t have to be expensive at all- you can truly use what you have!

Pray for God to show you someone who needs a little encouragement and a reminder that they are loved and create your own Scripture Bag surprise for them today!

In the bags this month I included:

A “ Who I am in Christ” image that I laminated. This was written by my precious friend Terri’s mama and I love it so. You can print a copy here: https://goo.gl/hCidkJ .

The Comparison & Envy Scripture Writing Plan for this month. Last month in their bags I gave them the plan and a notebook. This month’s plan I put in a page protector. You can print a copy here: https://goo.gl/eoX1Lw.

A bookmark I created and had printed. You can make your own or purchase one.

This super cute magnet I found at Hobby Lobby. It was $2.99 and found in the check-out area.

A printable of 2 Chronicles 20:15 (which is one of my all-time favorites) and an army man. I love this reminder that the battle is His, not ours.  You can print a copy here: https://goo.gl/Bn8jzT .

Micah 5:5 verse printable that I created and printed at Walgreens and placed in a $1 frame from Michael’s (that was on sale for 50 cents). You can print a copy here: https://goo.gl/rLojGL .

Everything in the bag I already had except the magnets and the bags themselves. Total it cost me about $20 for 6 bags. It doesn’t have to be expensive at all- you can truly use what you have!
