WRAP yourself in LOVE this season……
No, no NO! I’m not referring to the made up fantasy of cupids and hearts-I’m well aware that Valentine's day is behind us for another 11 ½ months (whew)!!!! I’m referring to the season of lent, a time when we prepare to celebrate the ultimate act of LOVE. A time when we calm our hearts and reflect upon the sacrifice that Jesus made for each one of us.
I love going out to the pasture and just enjoying the calm, in the cool air, away from screaming kids and singing cell phones. I am never really alone out there…. as there is usually an ass that wants scratched!!!!! Oddly enough, this too is calming as there is unconditional love that comes from those creatures. Have you heard about “Legend of the Donkey's Cross"? Did you know most miniature donkeys have a dark stripe from the neck to the back and across the shoulders forming the image of a cross? Legend has it that Jesus placed this shadow of a cross on a donkey's back in order to reward him for his loyalty. The donkey not only carried Jesus into Jerusalem but also stayed at the base of the cross, refusing to leave Jesus during the crucifixion.
What better way to hold His sacrifice close to our hearts than by literally wrapping ourselves in a cross or scripture??!?
God rewarded this month’s artist with special talent. Meet Carmen, the beautiful woman behind Wrapped scarves. She uses her hands to scroll inspirational sayings onto the most luscious scarves. I met this former English teacher and stay-at-home mom several years ago through a mutual friend, and she has had me wrapped around her products ever since!!!! Her products are poetic, unique and straight from the heart!!!! I have one around my neck almost daily….
We are so lucky that Carmen was willing to make unique scarves just for Ali.O’s Assets this month!!! She has screen printed some of these soft, bright scarves with a beautiful cross and on others, she has written some of my favorite bible verses. What a great way to keep His word and love close to your heart, all while being fashionable!!! We are also featuring a brand new Wrapped product, headbands to sweat in while keeping our bodies strong!
So, for those of you who don’t have a donkey in your backyard to remind you of the ultimate act of love, wrap yourself in His word or the image of a cross to keep you and your heart warm now and always! Remember, we have limited quantities of each design so don’t miss out!!!
