Be still, and know that I am God

Our church is having it's first ever 'over night' retreat in November. One of the ladies who is organizing it, asked if I would help with some sort of token 'gift' for each lady attending. There may be close to 60! The theme is just what the title says....so I got on the internet and found a stamp with that verse on it and I bought it. Then I whipped up a couple of bookmarks, a little box, a post-it-note holder, and a candle to show my friend. They all had the verse stamped on them someplace. Of course the one she really liked, which she thought was "over the top" and so unusual was the candle. I found a site on the internet to buy 5 dozen for just under $1 each. They are 2 x 3 in size and just perfect for this size stamp. Are you wondering how I did it? It is so super simple, you might just want to try it yourself. You stamp the verse, or maybe you want to stamp a flower or a leaf, or a tree branch...anyway, stamp it on tissue paper!! Then cut around and close to the image as possible. Place it on the candle and then wrap a strip of wax paper around the candle. using a heat embossing tool, heat the image, but be careful not to get too close to the candle or else you will melt it!! You will slowly see the image adhere to the candle and become darker. Take the wax paper off and you are set with a new gift to give someone! I am cutting some scallop circles to place under the candle for the place setting at the table. I think everyone will love this little gift and will be anxious to take it home, put it in a special place and light it to remember all the blessings God has given to us, and if we are still we can hear Him speak to us!
