Dwell On These Things Inspiration Cards from Ink and Willow

 

I don't know about you, but if left to my own devices, I can be a pretty harsh self-critic. Dwell on These Things Inspiration Cards by John Stange, are modeled after a book by a similar title. They are a beautiful way of having some positive encouragement from the Bible handy whenever I start to fall in to that pattern.

Dwell on These Things Inspiration Cards are not only full of wisdom and encouragement, but they are so nice looking. They are designed to sit on your desk, nightstand, or a table to be there whenever you need one. I love the earth tones and the wavy designs on them. They are a sturdy, fairly heavy thin cardboard so I thought they felt like quality. I think they are soothing just to look at. I also think the phrases and  thoughts are helpful to reflect on. However, they don't have any actual Bible verses on them, which I found rather surprising. There are 31 cards in the box so a person could also read one a day on rotation to keep better thoughts in their head. They come nicely packaged in a box that works as a display stand. I like the whole package but I haven't read this book and I think that would be helpful as I might like them even more.

I received a set of these inspiration cards from Ink and Willow. All opinions within this review are my own.

Who Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up? by Paula Faris Illustrated by Bhagya Madanasinghe

  I think there has always been a lot of pressure on adults and children to "do" something big with their lives in the way of career. We do often ask children, What do you want to Do When you Grow up?" Who Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up? by Paula Faris changes the tone and the outlook for children with this book. I am not sure I can begin to tell you how much I love this book, but I will try. Who Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up? has beautiful bright illustrations. I also love that the illustrations are inclusive and show children of all colors, cultures and backgrounds. I think that background adds to the appeal of the book. This is a large children's book, measuring about 9 1/4 by 9 3/4 inches in size and 32 pages long. It is aimed at children ages four to eight but it really is a timeless message that could appeal to people of all ages.   Who Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up? features a girl named Lina who doesn't know what she wants to "be&quo
