Pure Grace Gifts, Ornaments & Collectibles

True Freedom

Jay — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 23:37:00 +0000

Open revolt in the name of freedom is reverberating throughout the Middle East in these historic days.

Two-thousand years ago one act of Supreme sacrifice followed not by insurrection, but rather by Christ’s Resurrection, was a call to eternal freedom that continues to reverberate all around the world.

Today we are so thankful that we can celebrate our freedom in Christ! Our Pure Grace designs are inspired by Scripture and are hand-crafted in our studio from high-fired bisque porcelain to help express an authentic sentiment in every season and circumstance of life’s journey.

The Ultimate Gift

Jay — Tue, 16 Nov 2010 23:46:04 +0000

As we enter into a season of Thanksgiving and “Gift-giving” it seems an appropriate time to be reminded of the ultimate gift that our Savior freely gives to those who ask.

It is called grace. G-R-A-C-E “God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense” as you may have heard it defined.

Each of our Gift Ornaments express this gift as a “surprise” scripture verse, Ephesians 2:8, hidden under the lid and revealed only when the lid is lifted open as the ornament is being removed from its package.

It sends a subtle message in a hidden place that is only revealed when the gift is opened. Perhaps in a small way, its a reminder of His gift to us as we experience the unwrapping of His life in ours. He’s given us the gift, we only need to begin to open it and receive it as such, to find grace.

Blessings Jay & Janice

The Lord bless you and keep you: The Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you: The Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace – Numbers 6:24-26

His Love Transforms

Jay — Wed, 29 Sep 2010 17:41:15 +0000

Our very first design we called “His Love”.

The architectural background formed by a Maltese cross surrounded by hearts and superimposed with 4 large hearts served to visually express “the truth of the cross and the heart of His Love”.

Basing the design on historical interpretations, we saw the 4 Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) in the four large hearts and with them, were reminded of Christ’s care and concern and love poured out……to them, and to us!

The scripture Romans 8:39 inspired the title of this design, stating “Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

This 2004 design was “transformed” in 2008 to the more “open” scroll work found below, but its message and purpose are unchanged. Sharing God’s Love, Celebrating His Blessings!

May your life by transformed by His Love!

Blessings,

Janice & Jay

Alive!

He is risen! He is risen indeed!

The blessed, glorious truth of Easter: our Savior lives!

On the third day sunrise revealed an empty cross and our risen Savior. This cross reflects the new days sun as it was rising on that glorious day with Christ’s crown of thorns and robe draped over itself.

Blessings,

Janice & Jay

Your Peace

This design features a rose in full bloom with attendant buds resting on a traditional cross reminding us of the peace we enjoy in the Lord.

A most powerful and persuasive Scripture is the inspirational verse for this design and the reference is on the side panel of the package: Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee. – Isaiah 26:3

As with all our Gift Ornaments, there is poetry on the back panel of each package unique to each design. This design’s poetry is :

Remember His promises and His love

As we continue to celebrate this Easter season, we pray that His Peace would be come Yours.

A heart abloom in the center of an elegant open cross reflects a soul renewed in His perfect love. This design expresses encouragment and celebration of a new day and a new life.

As we enter this season of celebrating God’s gift of Salvation through his Son, Jesus Christ, our prayer is that you take a moment to give thanks and consider this awesome provision. The word “Renewed” implies a second chance, a refreshing, a new beginning… may this design express thanks for renewal and praise to God.

This design combines the heart of His Love with the truth of the Cross…..a recurring theme in many of our designs that helps us celebrate our faith.
