It is day 3 of 12 Days of Christmas Giveaways! 🎄🎉 Our guest today is @pricelispd 💚⠀ ⠀ 🎄 Pricelis Perreaux-Dominguez is a woman on a mission to live out a full life that includes helping others live connected, consecrated, and co-creative lives. She lives in NYC with her husband and newborn son. She is an entrepreneur, social worker, teacher, writer, creator, and coach. She has served many different populations, from small children to sex trafficking survivors, and is passionate about revealing God's heart for justice and gets to do this through her job at Restore NYC, an anti-trafficking organization.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ She is the founder of Full Collective, which is a small business and ministry that is committed to igniting women to live FULL lives in Jesus and make an impact through that. She’s the host of the ‘Yas and Amen Podcast' where she has teachings, convos with guests, and scripture-based meditations - all things that will help others grow in their faith walk. One of Pricelis' biggest missions in life is to say “Yes” to God consistently and freely and she prays she can continue to serve people and give God glory through that. ⠀ ⠀ 🎄 Pricelis is giving away a "Notice God's Goodness" Sweatshirt. God is good all the time and all the time He is good - Amen? And while this is true, the truth is that life can also be challenging, painful, or grieve-filled. We may find ourselves in hard seasons or waiting years for a prayer to be answered. And in the midst of all of that - God remains good it’s just up to us to notice it. So here's a sweatshirt to remind you AND others to notice God's goodness!⠀ ⠀ 🎄 To enter the giveaway, make sure you are following both me (@karenehman) and @pricelispd. Then simply leave a comment on the post tagging a friend (or two or as many as you’d like!) to tell them about the giveaway as well. You will get one entry for each person you tag. You will also get a bonus entry if you click on the little airplane and share it to your own Instagram story. 🎁⠀ ⠀ 🎄 All the winners will be announced on Monday, December 13th. US and Canadian entries only, please. ⠀ ⠀ * This contest is in no way endorsed by or affiliated with Instagram.

Let’s chase down some Christmas cheer. But not j Let’s chase down some Christmas cheer. But not just keep it to ourselves. Parking our minds on the truth of salvation through Jesus helps us show joy to the world during the Christmas season. 🎄
Welcome to Day 1 of 12 Days of Christmas Giveaways Welcome to Day 1 of 12 Days of Christmas Giveaways!🎉🎉🎉 ⠀ 🎄 Today, @mercyhouseglobal is giving away a candle bundle from their collection. 🕯 ⠀ 🎄 Mercy House Global is a 501c3 non-profit organization that exists to support the rescue and rehabilitation of teen girls in Kenya who have become pregnant through desperate situations forced upon them. They support three maternity centers outside of Nairobi, Kenya. Girls who are rescued into these homes are between the ages of 12-16 and have endured unspeakable trauma. When they enter into the home, they are welcomed and shown the true love of Jesus through provision and care. They receive 3 healthy meals a day, pre and post-natal care for themselves and their baby, parenting classes, life and vocational skills, individual and group counseling, and the opportunity to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ. ⠀ ⠀ Their maternity centers are partially funded by the sales of Fair-Trade product through subscription club Fair Trade Friday, and the online and retail sales at Mercy House Global.

When visiting our North Carolina kids for the week When visiting our North Carolina kids for the weekend, we stayed at the dreamiest place ever! It was once a local historic church and an important meeting place for civil rights leaders. Now it is a fantastic apartment building that preserves the historical vibe while also being functional and fashionable. Thanks @thechurchonparkwood for our fabulous Thanksgiving 2021 accommodations. We’ll be back!!⛪️💕
Today will be our family dinner, served on Todd’ Today will be our family dinner, served on Todd’s mom’s china and my mom’s stemware as we sit at the kitchen table my parents bought when they married in 1955. Our daughter and her husband had it beautifully refinished by @2dash1 . 🧡
When I was a child, I could always count on three When I was a child, I could always count on three things being consistent during the holiday season. The first was my mother’s delicious turkey roasted her signature way — in a brown grocery sack. The second was my favorite chunky candy bar nestled deep in the toe of my stocking. And the third was my mom and my aunt crying when all the festivities were over and it was time for everyone to go home. My little mind could never understand why someone would weep at the happiest time of year. But now, sadly, I can say I get it. My mom and aunt lost their mother — my Grandma Elsie, whose birthday was on Christmas Eve — when they were barely into their 30s. In the past two years, I have lost my father; my mother; two cousins; an aunt; two uncles; and my stepmom, who’d been part of my life since I was 13. The cheer and sparkle of the holidays — with the accompanying “it’s the most wonderful time of the year” sentiment — is in such stark contrast to the chimney-sized hole of heaviness in my heart. Knowing that my loved ones are no longer a part of our celebrations drains my holiday joy. Lost loved ones aren’t the only reason for lamenting. Maybe you have wayward children, poor health or fractured friendships. Maybe this is the first holiday season spent as a family stung by divorce. Or maybe it’s just a deep, dark loneliness. What do we do when we can’t find any holiday cheer? Head to the link in my profile to read my @proverbs31ministries devotion, “When You Just Aren’t Feeling That Holiday Cheer.”

Hey you. Yes you. The one scrolling through all of Hey you. Yes you. The one scrolling through all of the wonderful images of delicious food, stunning decor, and happy families. I see you. You are hurting. For you, Thanksgiving is not a glorious family time. It is a time of sadness, loneliness, or pain. We are not having our traditional meal with family until Saturday. Today, I’m just hanging out with my grand-godchildren and we are going to have a backyard barbecue. I will have time to read through your comments and whisper a prayer for you. If you are someone for whom Thanksgiving is hard, simply leave a 🧡 in the comments, or explain a little bit about your situation, if you feel so led. Then, consider yourself prayed for.
