His Love Transforms

Our very first design we called "His Love".

The architectural background formed by a Maltese cross surrounded by hearts and superimposed with 4 large hearts served to visually express "the truth of the cross and the heart of His Love".

Basing the design on historical interpretations, we saw the 4 Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) in the four large hearts and with them, were reminded of Christ's care and concern and love poured out......to them, and to us!

The scripture Romans 8:39 inspired the title of this design, stating "Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

This 2004 design was "transformed" in 2008 to the more "open" scroll work found below, but its message and purpose are unchanged.  Sharing God's Love, Celebrating His Blessings!

May your life by transformed by His Love!

Blessings,

Janice & Jay

Your Peace

This design features a rose in full bloom with attendant buds resting on a traditional cross reminding us of the peace we enjoy in the Lord. A most powerful and persuasive Scripture is the inspirational verse for this design and the reference is on the side panel of the package:  Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee. - Isaiah 26:3

As with all our Gift Ornaments, there is poetry on the back panel of each package unique to each design.  This design's poetry is :

Your Peace

In your thoughts and prayers,

Remember His promises and His love

As we continue to celebrate this Easter season, we pray that His Peace would be come Yours.

Blessings,

Janice & Jay

Rejoice, for your hope is found in God's gift of eternal life. Purpose: Sympathy, Encouragement, Faith, Salvation

Renewed

A heart abloom in the center of an elegant open cross reflects a soul renewed in His perfect love. This design expresses encouragment and celebration of a new day and a new life.

.

As we enter this season of celebrating God's gift of Salvation through his Son, Jesus Christ, our prayer is that you take a moment to give thanks and consider this awesome provision.    The word "Renewed" implies a second chance, a refreshing, a new beginning... may this design express thanks for renewal and praise to God.

.

This design combines the heart of His Love with the truth of the Cross.....a recurring theme in many of our designs that helps us celebrate our faith.

Whose We Are

We found recent industry surveys by leading trade press fascinating and very useful. We found a few points most interesting as follows:

Made in China? Made in USA? Where a product is made is making a lot of news lately, with an increased appreciation for domestically produced items, and the perception of a product’s quality being connected with its country-of-origin.

Hand-crafted? Machine made? How a product is made seems to be important these days, particularly as people pursue authenticity in their expressions.

Personality based? Purpose driven? Why a product is created is a key intrinsic component to today’s giftware industry. Celebrating a meaningful moment in life’s journey with a product that fits the occasion is a market force synchronizing a person’s values and how they express those values.

Yes, Pure Grace products are Made in the USA. Yes, Pure Grace products are hand-crafted. Yes, Pure Grace products are designed for a purpose by a company dedicated to purpose instead of personality.

BUT MOST IMPORTANT to us, knowing Where and How and Why a product is made is not as important as for Whom a product is made. You and your loved ones experiencing life together reflecting Who made us.....we are His craftmanship, made in His image, to glorify Him by our living and loving.

May you experience His Love, an Embracing Love, and Rejoice in your relationships this New Year 2008
