5 Favorites Keeping Hope & Peace Before Me

The arrival of a new year always inspires me to be intentional to drink more water. It’s a healthy habit with so many benefits. This 18 oz. glass tumbler has a grippy sleeve and a bamboo lid, which I love. This is the kind of reminder I need for my thirsty soul every time I go to hyrdrate my body. “Every day is a gift.” Yes it is! https://www.anrdoezrs.net/links/100273434/type/dlg/https://www.dayspring.com/every-day-is-a-gift-18oz-glass-tumbler-with-bamboo-lid-and-straw
A planner is different than a journal. This devotional journal has 55 scriptural reflections with room to write down prayer needs, thoughts, answers to prayer, and “ah ha” moments. I love the “Be still and know” cover reminding me of Psalm 46:10. This is a hopeful tool to have on hand for the start of a new year. https://www.anrdoezrs.net/links/100273434/type/dlg/https://www.dayspring.com/be-still-and-know-devotional-journal
This ceramic (I love the creamy color!) jar is filled with 30 hope-focused prayer cards. What a beautiful gift for anyone whose heart is just weary. https://www.anrdoezrs.net/links/100273434/type/dlg/https://www.dayspring.com/prayers-of-hope-message-jar
Romans 12:12 is the inspiration for this wall calendar. Really, every month of this artistic wall-hanging is a gift in itself. All 12 months of this “Be Joyful in Hope” calendar for 2021 are beautiful. I personally love turning a new calendar page on the wall – it helps me shift seasons and embrace new days. https://www.anrdoezrs.net/links/100273434/type/dlg/https://www.dayspring.com/be-joyful-in-hope-2021-wood-strip-wall-calendar
This PEACE platter with words from Psalm 46:10 (hmmm … there’s a theme here) would add calm to any table. It says “Christmas,” but this is for all year. For last year and this new year. This would be a beautiful gift to add PEACE to the home of a friend.

These are a few of my favorites for a new year. We have every reason to be full of hope, friends!
