Carried Away March Giveaway : Five Kawaii Japanese Canvas Totes
Each month on my blog, SarahJoyAlbrecht.com, I give away a care package filled with fun things from Japan, where I live. I tie in the prize with a theme.
This month's giveaway is for five tote bags. There is one large one and four smaller ones - perfect for children to carry things like library books, a few groceries, etc.
To go along with the totes, the post is about carrying burdens, and how having children help to carry things provides a great teaching opportunity.
"Burdens, or things that have to be carried, are also a great Biblical metaphor for teaching our children about entrusting Gods with the things in this life that weigh us down. This burden could be anything from sin, an illness, a difficult relationship situation, to a house that doesn’t sell.
Trusting in Him gives us a soul-deep version of the feeling we get when the very straps of our heavy bags are cutting into our hands and dad comes along and carries it the rest of the way home.
My hope is that this giveaway will encourage others to help bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2) and to trust that the Lord is carrying us through.
1 Peter 5:6-7 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you."
To enter, leave a story on the giveaway post on my blog about carrying something or something being carried for you. The burden could be a physical one or a metaphorical one. Please mention how carrying this burden, or having it carried for you, shaped who you are today. You must leave a pertinent comment to win!

-Add SarahJoyAlbrecht.com to your blogroll and leave the link to your blog with your comment
