A Happy Home Winter Challenge – FREE Printable!

Sharing God’s love with the people in our world is one of the BEST ways to teach our Happy Buddies about God’s greatest commands for us – To Love Him and To Love Others.

Part of my mission as the Happy Home Fairy is to equip you with magical ways to bring the Good News to others.

This Winter, I thought it would be neat to give you a Happy Home Challenge.

The challenge is easy!

Simply print the 8 Snowman Cards (download at bottom of post) that say, “Jesus Loves You Snow Much.”

Cut them up.

Now here’s the fun part!

Decide as a family how you want to share your 8 cards.

The goal is to hand out all 8 cards by the end of January.

Here are a few ideas of ways to use your cards…

When you have visitors to your home this month and they leave their shoes by the door, slip a card in their shoe.

What a delightful surprise to find as they are preparing to leave!

When you are visiting someone else’s Happy Home this month, tape a card to their toilet seat lid before you leave as a happy little reminder.

When you are returning checked out materials to the library, slip a card between the pages of one of the books.

Only God knows who the recipient of such a pleasant message will be. 🙂

Whip together a batch of Snow Crunch (AMAZING), slip into bags, and tie cards on with some pretty ribbon for sweet gifts to give out to the people who work at your grocery store or church.My Happy Home friend made a whole family of these Oreo Sucker Snowmen and brought them to our January MOMs group.

She added the cards to the pops for an extra little blessing.

Slip a card into your Happy Buddy’s lunchpail. 🙂

Next time you fill your car with gas, leave a note on the nozzle for the next customer to enjoy.

I’ll bet your mail person will LOVE hearing the Good News!

And, yes, I am aware that our mailbox is in desperate need of a scrubbing. 🙂

I just love sending notes of encouragement to the bank tellers through that magic little delivery tube.

Those bank employees must get tired of passing money and checks and deposit slips back and forth all day, so why not mix it up for them? 🙂

And just the other day I slipped one of my cards into our water bill payment.

Oh, the possibilities are endless!

I can’t wait to hear about some of the fun ways your Happy Home shares Jesus’ love this month!

In the mean time, I’ll be praying for all the many recipients of the Best News EVER!

Have SNOW much fun!

Here’s a sneak peak at the cards… (link at bottom of post.)

Happy Happy Home Winter Challenge-ing! 🙂

Sharing is caring!

      Absolutely adorable. We plan on suprising a few people. Not that they dont know Jesus loves them. But, I suppose we all need to be reminded once in a while.

  • 🌴 I love palm trees. 🌴 

They don’t break in storms - they bend *with* the storm. ⛈️ (John 16:33)

They stay green all year round. 💚 (Psalm 92:14)

They grow best when it’s hot. ☀️ (Jeremiah 17:8)

They produce good fruit to be a blessing to others. 🥥 (Galatians 5:22-23)

They point straight up to heaven, reminding us of the goal. ⬆️ (Philippians 3:20)

Their branches are symbolic of victory. 🌿 (John 12, Revelation 7)

Go and be like a palm tree today! 🏝️🙌🏻🤩

“The righteous will flourish like the palm tree…” Psalm 92:12
  • ☀️Annual happy place week!☀️

The boys are trying to shoot me with water guns while I sit by the pool. The moon is a sweet bright spot in the night sky. A couple just rode by on the Broadwalk with music and extravagant lights on their bikes. The wind is gently moving the palm tree branches. Zion has a case of late night giggles. Noah is eating 3 scoops of ice cream from the Ben and Jerry’s shop and I am wishing this night will never end!

Thank you for another magical week, Hollywood. 🫶🏻 We will be counting down the days until next year!

  • One of these amazing boys made me a thoughtful card and gave me a small box of chocolates.

One of these amazing boys made me a special edition of his homemade comic strips in honor of Mother’s Day.

And one of these amazing boys patted my stomach during the sermon at church and whispered, “I think there’s a baby in there.”

😂🫠😂🫠😂

Happy Mother’s Day!

  • We are celebrating that because of the cross we have the unwavering favor of God. Because of the cross we are pursued daily by God’s perfect love, we are offered forgiveness and freedom, and we are equipped with the hope of the Holy Spirit. Thank you, Jesus!

  • Things I’ve learned from breaking my tailbone >>

1. It is possible to wear only 4 outfits in 2 weeks.

2. God is more concerned with developing character and deep roots than about our physical comfort.

3. My children don’t love to see me bedridden, but they love that they have been able to eat nuggets, pizza, and fries for 2 weeks.

4. When you can’t sleep because of pain or wild imagination that is not helpful, put on worship music.

5. A good prayer to pray, “Show me the depth of my need for You and shatter my self-sufficiency. Change my mindset so that prayer becomes my first response in every situation. May I seek You in all things. Help me to put all my hope in You...”

6. Hold on to a sense of humor. Or find someone to get you laughing. Even though it will hurt to laugh. You need to not take it all so seriously!

7. God’s people are so precious. People showed up on our doorstep with lasagnas, flowers, sandwiches, Uber Eats gift cards, and one dear soul even sent her cleaning ladies to our house to undo the damage of mama being down for days on end. Whenever I was tempted to despair, someone would text or bring by some freshly cut fruit. The message here is don’t ask, just do > because every act of kindness reminded me of Who is in charge.

8. When hard times come, lean into gratitude instead of fussiness and resistance. Thank your husband for carrying everything while you’re down, thank your community for carrying you to Jesus, thank the Lord for being present in all circumstances with a plan for your good and His glory. There is a reason God tells us in the Bible to do all things without complaining or disputing-so that you. will. shine. It’s not easy, but the reward is GREAT. I want the world to see Jesus shining in me in my adversity. Doesn’t mean you can’t cry and admit that what you are facing is so very difficult, but this can be done with a surrendered heart. This is the new assignment. Accept it, receive it as something that is from a loving Father. Look for the provisions along the way. You will go from strength to strength. Move forward with hope. He’s got you!
