2015 October’s Crate Celebrates the Harvest & Thankfulness!

This month we celebrate the Harvest and Thankfulness!

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”

As always, you can certainly keep all of your Crate’s contents for yourself, but we think it’s fun to share some of your Crate’s contents with a friend or a special person in your life. Maybe there is someone you know who could use a little lift, who’s life you can touch just by sharing a little token of inspiration from your Crate. Sometimes the smallest gestures make the greatest impact.

Another great thing about getting a Crate every month is that you will never be caught without a gift. You’ll always have a little stash of inspirational goodies to give as birthday gifts, hostess gifts or for that last minute or unexpected gift!

ChristianCrate is brought to you with the hope that we will bring you inspiration for a closer personal walk with God. J

We hope that you will enjoy all of the contents of your Crate, that we bring a smile to your face and that something in your Crate will inspire you to explore your relationship with God on a deeper level..

Until your next crate arrives…we wish you many blessed days!
