Quote: Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything that is beautiful; for beauty is God’s handwriting… Ralph Waldo Emerson
A HEARTFELT WORD
Beautiful sentiments and beautiful design are what we strive for with each and every Heartfelt product! It is our utmost desire to make sure that God’s handwriting is seen in all our products and collections.
Precious moments, cherished memories, celebrations and everyday occasions represent just a few of our sentiment driven product themes. As I stated in my last blog, everyone needs uplifting words of love, support and encouragement, no matter what age or gender. Our desire is to offer products which will meet those needs, that will touch hearts and that will make a difference in the lives of others.
NEW PRODUCT RELEASES
This month I would like to show you a few more collections that were recently released in our Spring 2013 Catalog:
Magnifying Bookmarks – This collections was written with General and Christian/Inspirational verses and are quite functional. I know, because I have to use a magnifier when I am without my reading glasses. The art in this collection was done by my dear friend, Joanne Fink, of Lakeside Designs and Zenspirations.
These bookmarks will fit in most envelopes and would make a perfect insert when sending a card to someone. Why not consider… a very thoughtful thing to do, at very little expense.
Follow Me ~ Matthew 16:24 - Following the scripture reference: “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross, and follow me.” This collection of twelve mini frames has some of the most loved and well known scriptures of all times. Each piece is 3D and has a sculpted cross along side the verse. Any of these will make a beautiful statement to keep in our homes or to be given or shared as a gift of faith.
The Heartfelt Irish Collection – These four pieces are very appealing with their Celtic designs, rich foil accents and well known and popular blessings.
The Heart of Heartfelt
Many times when I write verses, I like to go outside and absorb God’s handwriting in nature. It inspires me, reminds me of life’s miracles and words flow easily to me from its beauty. We are all so busy and consumed with our daily duties that nature’s beauty can be easily missed.
I love that my desk faces to the outside… I get to see the weather; I can view the deer in the woods, the horses in the field, which is right behind my house, the birds on the branches and witness God’s handwriting with every stroke of my keyboard as I look out my window. For that I am most fortunate and truly blessed.
If you ever get a chance, I would encourage you to check out a video by Louie Schwartz called, Nature.Beauty.Gratitude on Ted.com. I loved the part where he refers to, “The beauty of nature opens our hearts and makes us mindful that we are a part of it, we are not separate. That nature connects us to every one of us, because it is clear that it’s all connected in one.” So maybe when I go outside to write it is easier because I feel that I am connected, that I am one with Nature! The one thing I know for certain is, every time this happens it is truly a divine experience.
Did you know that 80 percent of the information we receive comes through our eyes. When we see the wonders and miracles of nature, how can we not be inspired, moved and in awe of our Creator? Nature’s beauty is a gift that cultivates appreciation and gratitude. We can see God’s handwriting all over it. I hope you will open your heart to all the blessings of nature and let them flow through you. That you will pass your blessings on to others in a heartfelt word and deed.
To consider: A careless word may kindle strife. A cruel word may wreck a life. A timely word may level stress. But a loving word may heal and bless.
Be Blessed,
Lea Metts
