They are such a wonderful, loving service that help so many people. They go above and beyond for their clients.<br />
The mission of Pregnancy Resource Center is to share the love of Jesus
Christ by preserving the lives of unborn children and meeting the
specific physical, emotional and spiritual needs of their clients through
medical, educational and counseling services. <br />
<br />
These are tags that Kim made that I was able to donate.<br />

<br />
<span class="_mh6 _wsc" id="cch_f3c0ce2ce3f5c68"><span class="_3oh- _58nk"><span>It was such a joy today to be able to bring over a donation of cards and bookmarks to the Crestwood Center in Milford, NH. My Nana passed away there on March 17th. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span class="_mh6 _wsc" id="cch_f3c0ce2ce3f5c68"><span class="_3oh- _58nk"><span>I would like to personally thank all the staff members there who provided such kind care to Nana for the nearly three years she was there. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span class="_mh6 _wsc" id="cch_f3c0ce2ce3f5c68"><span class="_3oh- _58nk"><span>Special thanks also to Lynette, the Recreational Director, there for so lovingly interacting with her, the other lovely residents, as well as the special kindness she has shown to my family and I. Thanks going out to her as well for helping to facilitate this donation. </span></span></span><br />
<span class="_mh6 _wsc" id="cch_f3c0ce2ce3f5c68"><span class="_3oh- _58nk"><span> </span><br /><span>Our lovely Carol Jean Blakely made all of the cards and tags donated today. She is such a shining example of God’s love. God has truly blessed the work of her hands over and over, and this is no exception. This donation means so very much to me, and it would not have been possible without the love poured into these items by our sweet CJ. </span></span></span><br />
<span class="_mh6 _wsc" id="cch_f3c0ce2ce3f5c68"><span class="_3oh- _58nk"><span> </span><br /><span>May God richly bless all the staff, as well as the residents at Crestwood. While we do miss my Nana so much, we do take great comfort in knowing that she is now rejoicing in Heaven, and in peace there. We cherish the promises in Scripture that tell us that indeed, one day, we will all be reunited again. </span></span></span><br />
<span class="_mh6 _wsc" id="cch_f3c0ce2ce3f5c68"><span class="_3oh- _58nk"><span> </span><br /><span>God bless and much love,</span><br /><span>Kim</span></span></span><br />

<span class="_mh6 _wsc" id="cch_fb73757009ba02"><span class="_3oh- _58nk"><br />We love to ‘drop’ small pieces of art in public places for people to find. Between March 5th and March 8th, twelve of these beautiful cards were dropped in Milford, NH. Three at a doctor’s office, three at the Dollar Tree, and six at Walgreens. On March 8th, three were dropped at Michaels in Amherst, NH.</span></span><br />
<span class="_mh6 _wsc" id="cch_fb73757009ba02"><span class="_3oh- _58nk"><br />Who made this for you? Her name is CJ. She lives in TX. So, why on earth would someone from TX make cards for people in NH? The best way I know to sum it up is this: she loves God and people. She loves my corner of the world as much as she loves hers.<br /> So, why did she make this for you? She wants you to be encouraged. She wants you to know that no matter where you find yourself in life, God is here for you and loves you like no other.<br />To learn more about how God can change your life, please scroll to the bottom of the page. <br />What a thought it is that from so far away, CJ was thinking of YOU! She is full of wisdom, faith, trust, determination, and perseverance. Come what may, she faithfully serves the God she loves with her whole heart. She has done much to contribute to this ministry. Thank you CJ!!! We love and appreciate you so much! </span></span><br />
<br />
<span class="_mh6 _wsc" id="cch_fb73757009ba02"><span class="_3oh- _58nk">CJ is currently facing a hardship. Would you whisper a prayer for her? Thank you!</span></span><br />
<span class="_mh6 _wsc" id="cch_fb73757009ba02"><span class="_3oh- _58nk"><br />Would you like to share what this meant to you? Do you need prayer about something? It would be a joy to hear from you! Please feel free to write in! </span></span><br />
<span class="_mh6 _wsc" id="cch_fb73757009ba02"><span class="_3oh- _58nk"><br />CJ has beautifully written some sweet fictional stories of what she imagines has happened to some of these cards, bookmarks, and tags. Please see <a href="http://dropsoffaithart.blogspot.com/2016/07/carol-jeans-page.html">her page here</a> for some fun reading! Remember, Jesus loves you, and we do too!</span></span><br />

She and her group lovingly make mats for these precious people out of plastic grocery bags, and WOW, you seriously need to see them! Much effort is put into this, as it takes 700 bags to make ONE! Karo is such a special lady, and has given us much inspiration. In spite of health challenges, she devotes herself whole heartedly to this ministry, and what a testament to her character! She loves as Jesus does! We have included some photos here of mats that were previously made…aren’t they gorgeous?! If you would like to see more of what she does, log into fb and see: Crotched Mats for Homeless. You will be SO inspired! What a heart after God Karo has! Please pray for her and her ministry. Just phenomenal! </span></span><br />

We KNOW from God’s word that there is much power in prayer! We would so appreciate prayers for this big project! God is on the move, and when He is…look out! Much love to all! <3</span></span><br />

Hi Friends,<br />
<br />
It’s been a long time since I’ve been actively involved the ministry, so I
feel like I'd like to share something from my heart.<br />
<br />
Last year, I found myself in a place of deep sorrow following a family
crisis. It completely blindsided me. I was in despair and trying to carry
my burdens without God’s help.<br />
<br />
I lost sight of the goodness of God. I was a mess. My
Grandfather used to say to me all the time…”No matter how bad something is, God
will always pull something good out of it”. I lost sight of that too.<br />
<br />
My circumstances have not changed. In fact, I am now facing unexpected
health issues, and the struggles in my family continue. God didn’t change
my circumstances, but He is changing me! I am finally placing those
struggles at Jesus’ feet and leaving them there.<br />
<br />
I am enjoying life again. The despair is gone. My outlook is
completely joy-filled, and God is putting my broken heart back together.
Only He can do that!<br />
<br />
I’ve learned so many things during this season of my life. One is that
God loves me even when I’m a mess. His love never changes. Two, I
cannot carry my burdens alone. They’re too heavy, and Jesus promised to
take our burdens and give us rest. I will share the Scripture below.<br />
<br />
Are you in the midst of sorrow? Have things in your life broken your
heart? Do you feel alone and wonder how you’ll get through each
day? I want to tell you that there is HOPE! Hope has a name, and
His name is Jesus! Also, the Bible says that He is no respecter of
persons. What does that mean? It means that we all find ourselves
in a mess sometimes, and if God can heal me, He can heal your heart too!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Looking
forward to the next chapter of Drops of Faith Art Ministries in 2019! May
God richly bless you, and always remember…you are loved, you are valuable,
you are not alone, your tears matter to God, and you can find rest for
your soul in Him. </span><br />
<br />
If you wish to request prayer, please see the space provided to do so right
here. Our team is more than happy to pray on your behalf, and any request will
be confidential. Don’t be shy! Much love to all of you! I
will close with these precious words from Scripture that Jesus spoke:<br />
<br />
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you
rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble
in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For, My yoke is easy,
and My burden is light”.<br />
<br />
Matthew 11:28-30<br />

<br />
On a personal note, I would like to share a story. Several years ago, my son and I were in dire straights. I thought that it was only possible to give him one Christmas gift, and I honestly did NOT know at all where money would come from for our Christmas meal.<br />
<br />
I asked for help at SHARE, and they were simply dynamic! Not only, in the way of gift cards did they supply enough for our Christmas meal, but they also donated generous gift cards for BOTH my son and I. I was in a bucket of tears once I realized all they had done and how much that was going to change things for 'our Christmas'.<br />
<br />
My son received gift cards to local stores, and so did I. So much so, that it was honestly the BEST Christmas we had in a long while!<br />
<br />
I was amazed at the compassion in which was shown when I came to get our 'Christmas basket'. YES, there were food items, as well as a gift card to a local grocery store. BUT, down to the last detail, I also received a handmade scarf that perfectly matched my coat! What are the odds? But, then, there's SHARE.<br />
<br />
I was able to purchase things for my son that he would otherwise have gone without. I am entirely thankful for all they did for us as a family, as well as the kindness and compassion shown when I picked up our items.<br />
<br />
It is my utmost humble expression to have donated items of handmade art, neck warmers, gloves, and scarves on behalf of Drops of Faith Art Ministries. Yes, I was able to contribute as well,but had it not been for the hard work of my fellow friends here, this simply would have been impossible.<br />
<br />
In total, we donated over 1,700 items this year, and I am SO thrilled to say that!!! May God bless each and every one who receives one of our gifts.<br />
<br />
Special thanks to Chris for working with me in making this donation, and we as a group all pray that these items will be a blessing to others!!!<br />
<br />
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
Much love,<br />
<br />
Kim Reed (part of Drops of Faith Art Ministries). My sweet friends, Debbie Reed, Feather Rae Reed, Carol Jean Blakely, and Bernadette Rita Tuffs all contributed to this. People from Minnesota, Texas, and the UK is quite astounding in how they reached out to our community!!! As I like to say...YAY GOD! :)<br />
<br />
Have a blessed Christmas everyone,and we pray that these gifts will uplift your spirits at this time!<br />
<br />
Much love to you all,<br />

You know we were
collecting things for New Hampshire for a place called SHARE. But our
thinking all along is that we hoped to find places near Debbie Reed in
Minnesota and I'm in Texas. Impact Lubbock is much like SHARE in that
they minister to the homeless and less privileged - that ministry is
close to Kim Reed's heart. So yesterday, I went by a<span class="text_exposed_show">nd
visited with Wanda and showed her the hand warmers, neck warmers,
boobie purses, laminated John 3:16 cards, etc. As with SHARE, my concern
was that our ministry tag is on those items. She was delighted! She so
wants to share God and God's love with the people she comes in contact
with. So I will begin to take some things by for them to have. They pass
out 'encouraging' cards to the people waiting to see the dentist and
doctor and will put one in the food baskets. It is so neat to work with a
ministry that welcomes sharing the gospel. It seems to be a wide open
door. And again, God is letting us be the hands and feet of the work He
is doing. Plus it is a real encouragement to the workers to have
donations. If you have places where we can minister or would like to
contribute things for either SHARE or Impact Lubbock, just contact us (you can either use the contact form on the left hand side, or leave a comment under this with your request and email address and we can contact you). Kim will need items for the Christmas baskets by December 12
and the Lubbock ones can be anytime. Winter comes later in Texas, so we
haven't had cold weather yet. Blessings and prayers whatever and
wherever your ministry is.</span><br />

<br />
I am SO thrilled to be able to share that I contacted the VA Hospital in Manchester, NH, this morning. I explained to them that we have 160 items for possible donation, and that they do contain Scriptures on them.<br />
<br />
SO pleased to say that they are more than happy to accept them! At this facility, they do care for young and old alike, and also have patients who have suffered injuries while serving.<br />
<br />
Please pray with us that God will use these items to bless our precious veterans! Special thanks to our sweet friend and member here, Carol Jean, for creating these beautiful cards and tags!!!<br />
<br />
So exciting...to God be the glory!!<br />
<br />
Love to all,<br />
<br />

<br />
Our friend, Bernie, who is a member here, recently made up these cards for our ministry. She is extremely gifted in digital art...something new for us!!! The REALLY neat thing is that she ordered 50 cards.<br />
<br />
When I received the box though, I was a little confused at first because there were 150 (or 151 if you count the one that was on top!)<br />
<br />
Bernie was never charged for the additional 100 items!!! God sees and knows every need. He KNOWS that 151 men NEED these cards!!!<br />
<br />
This was totally amazing and took us by surprise, but it was a happy 'God surprise'!!! I LOVE it when He does things like this!!! AMAZING story.<br />
<br />
Great work, Bernie, and we so appreciate your contribution to this ministry!!! <3 God bless you all, Kim<br />

<br />
● To let people know of God's love for them, and that they can come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.<br />
<br />
● To offer encouragement and joy to the recipients who find them.<br />
<br />
● To put a smile on their face, and brighten their day.<br />
<br />
● We pray over each item we make and ask God for His direction and leading as to where He wants us to drop them.<br />
<br />
● To love on them, and let them know that they are not alone in this world, that they are loved and that there is hope in life.<br />
<br />
● To shine the light of Christ in the world.<br />
<br />
Whether you’re gifted in artwork (making cards, bookmarks, tags, painting, mixed media, drawing, etc.), crocheting, knitting, sewing or crafts, digital (created on your computer) and printed out, God can utilize your talents for His glory! Our goal is to love people to Jesus, one person at a time.<br />
<br />
Example of places to drop (abandon) our items: Wherever God leads you to, a park, grocery store, doctor or dentist office, gas station, library, places you eat at, department store, etc. Even just hand one to someone if you feel God leading you to do that.<br />
<br />
Items made do not need to be anything fancy or special to encourage and brighten their day.<br />

It gives the name of our ministry, as well as our blog address. This is a crucial part of the ministry because if people who receive our items DO go to this blog, they are then able to see the full Gospel message. That is our main goal. To encourage others, and also, to point them in love to our Savior.
How do we attach the tags? On my cards, bookmarks, or key ring cards, I normally don’t paint the backs of them. I simply add our ministry tag to the backside of the small items with a simple glue stick. Others prefer to put their items in bags, and put the ministry tags inside of those. Whichever works best for you is great! If your item is crocheted, etc., a suggestion is to punch a hole in the ministry tag itself, and then attach it to the item with ribbon or twine, etc.
If you have further questions about this, please feel free to ask at any time. We are more than happy to assist!</span><br />

Come Let Us Adorn Them', an outreach to the homeless in Manchester, NH. <br />
<br />
Several amazing friends participated in this, assisting me with the
items, with such love shown, you would have thought these preciou<span class="text_exposed_show">s
homeless folks were their own neighbors. I will be posting a couple
more testimonies in the days to come. For each testimony that touched
us personally, I decided I wanted to do a journal page for each to seal
those sweet memories in my mind.</span><br />
Feather Rae Reed is an amazing young lady with a heart after God. She joined our
ministry awhile ago now, and she is full of love for others, and she
creates straight from her heart with joy! It is evident in her work.
Very much so, and I am so proud of her!<br />
<br />
There was a woman who
walked by our table that day. She was clearly homeless. The only thing
she had with her was an old purse with holes in it. When my sister and
I greeted her, we told her the types of things that were available at
our table. She shook her head and said, "No. I don't believe in that
kind of thing". She thanked us anyway. There were so many people that
she kind of got 'stuck' in front of our table.<br />
She spotted a tag
that had purple glitter all over it, with a Scripture on the back. She
looked both ways, scooped it up, and put it in that raggedy purse. My
sister and I both caught this and were smiling ear to ear!<br />
<br />
Feather prays while she works. CLEARLY, this woman would have left
there without anything from our table, had she not seen the beautiful
tag with the purple glitter. God took Feather's work, and I have no
doubt in my mind that whatever Scripture was there was meant to be seen
by this lady that day. God is SO specific to each of us, and this just
proves it! God took something that Feather loves...purple glitter...and
He used it to speak His words of life to the heart of someone Feather
does not know, who is without a home, who happens to love purple glitter
too!<br />
I had so much fun with this page, and I used Feather's
photo with permission here. Don't be afraid to step out when God calls
you to do something! The 'small' things are NOT so small at all!!!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Hi friends,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In October, my sister, Karen, let me know about a Christian
homeless ministry event that was taking place in Manchester, NH, on December
3rd. It was called ‘O Come Let us Adorn Them’, and it was being run by a
longtime family friend, Henry. He and his family attended the same church
that Karen and I grew up in. I had not seen or spoken to Henry in over
twenty years! He is involved in full time ministry to the homeless. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At this event, I knew that free items such as winter
clothing, scarves, hats, gloves, and hygiene products would be given freely. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I felt so strongly in my heart that God was calling me
to assist in the way of making cards and bookmarks with Scriptures or other
Christian sayings on them. I asked Karen if she would please give my
contact information to Henry, and she graciously agreed. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On October 12th, I received an email from Henry. Karen
had told him a little bit about our ministry, and what I would like to
do. Henry was so encouraging from the beginning, and he showed a great
deal of enthusiasm about this. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When I told our little team, they showed great excitement
about it and wanted to help. They pitched in and began making things
right away. I am so grateful to each of them because I couldn’t have done
it without them. I am also touched deeply that they caught the burden for
people in my neighboring community, and they sought to minister to them as if
they were their own neighbors. Isn’t that what loving as Christ would all
about? God is not boxed in by our locations!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I asked Debbie to speak to why she and her daughter,
Feather, felt called to assist me in this project. This was her response:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Both Feather and I, when we heard about this event...it
just really touched our hearts. The homeless is such a huge problem; we see
homeless people around here all the time on street corners with their signs,
breaks our hearts. When we have cash we always give it to them”. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Not only were these ladies actively involved in making
things, but they prayed fervently for the people to whom we would minister and
receive our items. I would also like to express my thanks to Karen for
being willing to assist with our table that day. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
God moved beyond our wildest dreams! At the
event, Karen and I both feel God forever changed us through this
experience. We arrived early because we had heard there may be an issue
with parking, and we were unsure of the location. To our utter shock,
there was already a long line of homeless people standing in front of the
building, waiting to be let in. It was cold that day, and very windy.
They waited there at least 90 minutes!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Some were improperly dressed for winter, simply because they
didn’t own winter clothing. We saw men, women, children, and even babies
who were out there shivering in the cold, waiting for a warm place to come
into. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Once inside, a church service was held, and the Gospel
message was presented both in a short message and in song. Afterward,
lunches were served to everyone. Then, it was time to head downstairs to
receive the gifts that were there. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There were over 300 less fortunate ‘shoppers’, as well as
over 200 volunteers. The volunteers represented 50+ churches and
ministries, from all denominational backgrounds. It was such a beautiful
thing to see the body of Christ working together to love on these precious people,
with no thought given to doctrinal differences. We were simply there to
love. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There are SO, SO many testimonies that came as a result of
this event that I will be writing more about those in coming days. I am
just presenting a little introduction here, but many God stories will follow!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When God moves, He moves. The love and joy inside that
building that day were absolutely incredible. People were prayed over,
and some people did indeed come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
For those who did not accept Christ that day, I have no doubt in my mind that
seeds were planted, and so we pray that God will complete the good work He
started in their lives. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We must learn to see everyone as children of God, to
treasure all, to see their worth through the eyes of Jesus, and to seek to love
them as He does. When we shine our lights, we are a reflection of the
Light of the World, our Lord and Savior. We continue to pray for those
who were ministered to that day, and we are so thankful to Henry, and to God
for allowing us to play a small role in this event. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In total, over 800 of our items were given that day.
This is not said to be prideful, but rather to show God’s glory in all
things. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When we are humble before Him, when we listen to His call,
His voice, He can work wonders and do great and mighty things!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am SO looking forward to sharing with you more about this
experience. God used this day not only to bless the people there, but
also to bless us beyond measure. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As more testimonies pile in, we are in utter amazement about
what our big God has done and will continue to do. This is not to brag on
us, but rather, to brag on Him! He is worthy of all praise and glory, and
we humbly give that to Him! May He continue to be glorified in all we say
and do. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Blessings, Kim</div>

Last weekend, August 27th & August 28th...one of the Church's in New Hampshire held a musical festival called Hopefest
2016.<br />
It was benefiting Habitat For Humanity.<br />
Kim, her mom Brenda, Carol Jean, myself, and my daughter Feather made items to spread the love of God to the women, men, teenagers, children, the elderly and the Veterans.<br />
Special thanks to Kim's son Tim, and her boyfriend T, for helping with our booth.<br />

Hi, I'm Carol Jean Blakely and I live in Texas with my husband. We have three children, five grandchildren and a great granddaughter.<br />
I am the
director of a prison ministry that sends Bible studies to those
incarcerated.<br />
I have enjoyed crafts of all sorts all my life and now enjoy using my
creativity to make small tags with scripture and encouraging words to include in
those Bible study packets.<br />
As I make each one (and I do bunches at a time) I pray especially for those
who will receive them - that they will encourage those in what is most likely
discouraging situations.<br />
Others I make to abandon - praying they will be an encouragement and trusting
God to place them in those hands where He needs them to be.<br />
I thank God for the gift of creativity and thank Him for allowing me to use
it for His work.<br />
I pray to be open to His leadership in spreading the love of Jesus Christ to
a hurting world.<br />
<br />

Hello, I’m Kim Reed. I am
from New Hampshire. I have one adult son, Tim, and an amazing boyfriend, also
named Tim. I have enjoyed doing
crafts for many years, but never delved into art until about two years ago.<br />
<div data-mce-style="margin: 0px;" style="margin: 0px;">
I have found tremendous joy
in creating small pieces of artwork or making crafts and including Scriptures
with them. Whether I have given them as gifts, abandoned them in random places
for people to find who may need an encouraging word from God, contributed to a
specific outreach, or in some cases handed them directly to a stranger, God has
forever changed my life through this avenue. God has used this means of
communicating His message of love and hope to others to bless me in the
process. I always ‘pray while I play’, asking God to show me what Scriptures to
include, and He is always so faithful to guide in each step. I also pray for
each person who will find or receive my work.</div>
<div data-mce-style="margin: 0px;" style="margin: 0px;">
This has become a passion
of mine, and I am continually humbled to know that I ‘get to’ play a small role
in God’s plan of reaching out to His world, so in desperately in need of His
love, by communicating His Word through creativity.</div>

Hi, I’m Debbie Reed. I live in Minnesota with my husband and two adult
children.<br />
<div>
I’m a pretty crafty person, love to do all kinds of different art
projects.</div>
<div>
I have been a Christian for about 35 years now. I love to encourage
people and try to give them hope in life.</div>
<div>
I love making tags and bookmarks with encouraging Scripture on them and
leaving them around for people to find.</div>
<div>
I always pray over the items I am working on, and I pray for God’s leading
and wisdom for what to put on each one.</div>
<div>
I then pray for his direction and prompting as to where to leave each one
for the person that He intends it for.</div>
<div>
It is such a joy to be used by God in this way. To be used as His Hands
and Feet to others in the world, spreading His Love.</div>

Hi, I'm Feather Reed (Debbie's daughter). I live in Minnesota with my family. I really enjoy making tags with my mom. I always feel His presence in every tag I make as I am praying over them. I always get excited to think who will receive the tags I make. It gives me so much joy serving the Lord in this way. I pray that the person who receives them feels His love like I do.<br />

<br />
"Thank
you for my drops of faith art gifts, and for the ones that you sent me
for the ICU waiting room. I brought them into work soon after you sent
them to me, and I checked today, and they have all been taken!! Thanks
so much, as I'm sure they offered comfort to some of the visiting family
and friends. We have had some very sad cases lately. Prayers being
sent your way, and thanks again for your special works of art".<br />
<br />
Praising
God that this sweet nurse had the opportunity to utilize the drops of
faith art items in a place where none of us could be. She was the feet
of Christ. We pray that for all those who found them, that they have
brought a measure of God's comfort, peace, and hope.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">I just wanted to mention some of the places where I have dropped some of my faithart items around Minnesota. I live in the Waite Park/St. Cloud area of Minnesota. So most of the items have been left around here. I have dropped items in grocery stores, craft stores, the movie theater, restaurants, gas stations, Walmart & Target, and parks.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">My husband and I took a trip to the North Shore (Duluth & Grand Marias) and I left a few of the items there in different stores and restaurants, and the hotel we stayed it.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">I always pray a head that God will give me wisdom to know where to leave them, and also that everywhere I place one of the faithart items, I pray that God would direct the person that He wants to bless to them.</span></span></div>

</div>
<span style="font-family: "arial narrow" , serif; font-size: medium;">IT'S HARD TO STAY HIDDEN WHEN YOU ARE<br />PRETTY AS ME!<br /><br />I
was born in the heart and mind of a Christian lady. I was created
around a kitchen table - paper, cardstock, paint, stamps, markers and a
little ribbon. None of these very attractive or pretty - nothing you
would pick up and want to keep.<br />It wasn't a comfortable process -
here I was a clean piece of paper, then she covered me up with some sort
of gooey stuff - I think the jar said gesso. I just know I didn't like
it. Since I was wet and she wanted to keep working, she got out her hair
dryer.<br />Now I don't have hair, but I felt all that heat. As I dried, I
began to curl a little - she didn't like that - so she rolled me back
and forth until I lay flat like she wanted.<br />Then she put bright paint
all over me - again that heat. I lay very still except when the air
moved me around. Then she began to glue things on me and stamp designs
on me.<br />Then she punched (ouch!) a hole in me and tied a pretty ribbon
and a sticker telling about me. You should have seen me when she
finished.<br />I heard her say 'I wonder who God wants to have this?' I
didn't understand what that meant. She stuck me in her purse - along
with gum, gum wrappers, pencils, tissues, note pads, pennies and a
nickel and off we went to her doctor's appointment.<br />Her purse was
dark except when she needed something. Then when she thought no one was
looking, she took me out and stuck me between the pages of a magazine. <br />All
I remember of all those days is people flipping through the magazine,
but no one took me out. Once I fell out and someone laid me on the
table. It looked like a big room with lots of people and chairs - like
they were waiting for something.<br />Then someone stuck me back in
another magazine. But one day I fell out between two chairs. I guess no
one noticed me. I kinda hung there until someone moved the chair around a
bit and I fell to the floor under the chair. I lay there all day.
People began to leave and the room got quiet. Then someone turned the
lights out and I heard the door being locked.<br />Then the lights came
on. I heard a vacuum; tables got dusted; chairs were moved and someone
picked me up and put me in a pocket. After a long time and ride on a bus
and a climb up some stairs, I was thrown in the dirty clothes hamper -
still in the pocket.<br />Some time later, I was taken out and piled with
all sorts of odds and ends on the dryer. That's good because otherwise I
could have been thrown in the washer.<br />I lay there for a day or two.
Then someone picked me up and began to notice what was written on me.
HOPE and something about 'My hope is in you, Lord'. She turned me over
and noticed a place to find out more about me. It said Drops of Faith
Art and that I had been dropped (I guess you call my story a drop) just
for her.<br />And it said http://craftingwithdebbie.blogspot.com/<br />She
took me into the computer and typed those letters in. And sure enough,
it talked about Drops of Faith Art and it was dropped just to encourage
people. She read more and learned about Jesus and how He came to save
people. It told her all about it. I heard her say, "Mmm, interesting."
Then she left me there by the computer and<br />went off to work. Someone
else picked me up, turned me over, read what was written on me and also
found out all about Faith Drops and Jesus.<br />When she came home from
work, she came in to get me and her family began to discuss me and the
things the computer had said about me and about Jesus.<br />And the lady who found me wrote to the lady who made me and told her thanks and how beautiful I am. The other lady just said,<br />"Oh I had wondered what happened to that drop' - it has been a couple of months since I left it. So glad you found it."<br /><br />TALE OF THE TAGS - 2<br />USED THINGS GET DIRTY - THAT'S O.K.<br /><br />
I was made with a great deal of love and prayer. I began as an
ordinary piece of cardstock. Well, that's not quite true - I was really
a piece of trash - tossed away by an office worker who could not see
anything useful about me.<br /> I was part of a very used file folder -
written on and marked out several times. But I was pulled from the
waste basket and put in a box and forgotten.<br /> But one day all of
us were pulled out and chopped into pieces. But this time, I was clean
and the dirty, marked-out parts were thrown away. I was laid out on a
table and smeared with white gesso something - dried with a hair dryer -
turned over and the same thing done to my back side.<br /> When dry, I
was painted a bright orange - dried with that hair dryer again, stamped
with black ink, sprayed with something to make me sparkle and left to
dry. A flower was painted on me, then some words that said HOPE in
great big letters, then a sticker that said "My hope is in you, Lord".<br />
I was stamped some more and put in a basket for days. Then one day,
that basket was put in the car along with yarn and a hole punch. I
don't know where we went, I think I heard the lake mentioned. After a
hole was punched in me and a pretty piece of yarn tied on, I was put
back in the basket with a lot of other tags - except the one on top of
me was fuzzy and made my nose itch.<br /> Days later, I and all the
other tags were put in a big heavy envelope, taped up and sent to
someplace called New Hampshire (is there an Old Hampshire?) When that
package was opened, I saw stacks and stacks of tags spread out on a
table. People looked at us and thought we looked great. And we did -
my orange was bright and cheerful.<br /> We were taken to this big
meeting - outside - and it was hot. There were lots of people and
music. People were walking around, looking at all the stuff.<br /> I
was given to a lady who put me in her big dark purse. I guess I must
have gone to sleep because I don't remember how we got to her house.
She took me out and stuck me in her Bible as a bookmark. And it was
days before she opened me.<br /> But one day when I was laying on the
night stand, I heard Christian music. And she began to read her Bible
often and I got moved from place to place. I heard her tell people
about how she got me and how she used me. She began to hum the songs
she listened to and sometimes I got taken to church with her. I began
to look a little dirty and wrinkled. But I didn't care because I knew
by the way she held me and read me that she loved me and my message
about hope.<br /> <br /><br /><br />TALE OF THE TAGS - 3<br />ALLOWED - NOT ALLOWED<br /><br />
Uh-oh! I'm part of a big mistake. I didn't start out this way. I was
once a long strip meant for school classroom bulletin boards. But
because I am so colorful, I could brighten a prison cell. I was cut up
to be a book or Bible marker. And I was rather plain compared to other
tags the lady made - nothing glued on or a bright paint job could go
into the prisons.<br /> But I did have a sticker that said, "Problems
should always drive you to toward God, not away from him". After I was
drawn on with a marker, I looked pretty good.<br /> I was picked from a
basket and put in a big envelope with Bible study lessons. I was sent
to Michigan but when I was taken from the envelope in the mail room, I
heard these awful words - "Not allowed, send the whole thing back to
whoever sent it." I was taped shut and put in a bin. I wondered what
would happen to me, but I also wondered what would happen to the
lessons. Would the person know they got all the way to Michigan, then
sent back?<br /> When I got back to the Prison Ministry, I was again
opened and people read about me not being allowed. They could not
believe that something like a book or Bible marker would not be
welcomed. They were allowed and wanted in all the other prisons.<br />
So they called and were told that anything "handmade" was not allowed
in Michigan except at the women's' prison. And nobody knew why! It was
just a rule. <br /> So the lessons were sent off again with an
apology and I was put in another envelope and sent where I would be
allowed. And irony of ironies - I was sent to the women's prison in
Michigan! I was afraid when they opened me in the mailroom. But
nothing was said and I was given to a lady who thought I was the most
beautiful gift she had even been given.<br /> I was shown off - people
wondered how they could get one - then lovingly placed in a Bible. I
was taken out two or three times every day when she read her Bible and
touched with love.<br /> I guess Michigan is not so bad after all.<br /><br /><br />TALE OF THE TAGS - 4<br />STATE FAIR<br /><br />
I began on a table with a whole bunch like me. We had all been cereal
boxes and cut up. One side of each of us had been sprayed with glue and
covered with bright colored paper and the other side painted.<br /> We
were all laying on a table waiting to dry. I overheard someone say we
were going to the state fair. We had words and stripes, or flowers, or
hearts painted on us - things like JOY, HOPE, PEACE, BELIEVE and a
scripture glued down. Some of us were sprayed with glitter and sparkly
stuff. Some of us had stuff rubbed on our edges. Some of us (I was one
of them) had a hole punched in one corner and some pretty string
attached. All of us had a label glued on to our back side that said
"Faith Drops of Art" We were banded together and put in a box labeled
"Give away at state fair"<br /> Early one morning, we were taken out to
a car and we drove a long time. But we were left in the car; it began
to get hot and we wondered. But after awhile, our box was taken out and
we were put on a table in a booth.<br /> We could hear the music from
the rides and see the merry-go-round. People began to come by and we
were given away one by one. I was put down in the bottom of a big dark
tote bag. Gum wrappers, tissues, receipts, grocery lists and crumbs. I
stayed down in that stuff all day.<br /> After a long hot day, we
climbed on a bus and we drove and drove and drove. It got dark and at
last, the bus pulled into a church parking lot and everyone got out and
went to their own cars. We drove some more - not as long this time.
They went into the house and I was left in the car.<br /> Sometime the
next day, I was taken into the house and dumped out on the table. I
guess we were sorted - some to the trash and some to a box and me -
well, I was left on the table. I guess they never used that room for I
was left all alone for days.<br /> One day, the light came on and I
heard, "Gramms, what is this?' Gramms said "Oh, just a bookmark I
picked up at the fair" - "What are you going to do with it" - "I don't
need it" - "Can I have it?" - "Sure"<br /> I was rubbed and looked
at by the little girl. She found a book on the bookshelf and put me in
the front. She began to read and when she got tired, she took me out
and put me where she could find her place next time. She read me, read
my scripture, turned me over to see the bright colors and the little
tag. She called me her little love drop.<br /><br />TALES OF THE TAGS - 5<br />CHOSEN JUST FOR NIKKI<br /><br />
I was once a cracker box - wanted when I was full but tossed in the
trash when empty. But someone pulled me out of the trash, cut me in
pieces and I heard something about tags.<br /> I was painted front and
back - sprayed with a cold something and told I was now sparkly. After
laying in a box for days and days, I was pulled out and words were
written on me - "HOPE - my hope is in you, Lord". A 'Drops of Faith
Art" tag was glued to my back. The lady prayed that this tag would be
given to someone special and only the Lord knew who. And I was put back
in a box.<br /> One day the box I was in and a lot of other boxes were
opened and we were sorted - some of us for men, some for ladies, some
for children and some special ones for veterans. We were neatly stored
in a file drawer and I heard talk about a fair with music.<br /> One
day we were loaded up - file cabinet and all and taken to this park.
Some of us were put in baskets and on tables; some of us stayed in the
file drawer. We could hear the music and a lot of people talking.<br />
Finally, I was taken out and put in a basket on a table. Several
people picked me up and put me back down. Late in the day, a group of
nurses came by. They had just gotten off work and stopped by before
going home.<br /> I was quickly picked up and I heard her say, "I know
who needs this." They looked for others like me and each one chose one
that said HOPE. I was put in a tote bag and taken home.<br /> The next
day I went to work with the lady. It was a big busy hospital. She
worked in a place where people were very sick and were waiting for a
kidney transplant because their kidneys were not working.<br /> I was
taken to a room where the lady was very ill and heard them say that if
she doesn't get a kidney very soon, she will die. Her family was there
and they were very sad.<br /> When 'my nurse' did all the things she
was supposed to do, she said, "Nikki, I have something for you". Nikki
looked at her and wondered what it could be - another pill - another
shot - another pillow.<br /> 'My nurse' said, "Yesterday I saw
something that might help you as you wait. This is a tag made by
someone far away just for you. Many people have prayed that each tag
would go to the person the Lord knew needed it. And I believe this tag
was meant just for you."<br /> The family gathered around to better
see. They read, "HOPE - my only hope is in you Lord". They cried
because they knew how true that was. But also because someone they did
not know and who didn't know them and their need would make a tag and
send it across the country just for them.<br /> Nikki often held that
tag as she waited. And one day, 'my nurse' was able to tell her they
had found a matching kidney and she would have surgery as soon as
possible.<br /> And when Nikki went home healthy and well, she put me
on her bathroom mirror as a daily reminder that for all of us our hope
is in the Lord.<br /><br /><br /><br />TALES OF THE TAGS - 6<br />A GENTLE REMINDER ABOUT THE BIBLE<br /><br />
Would you believe I began as a donut box - red on one side, white on
the other. I lived in a shop where people spoke Cambodian - until I was
filled with donuts and taken to a church where everyone was very glad
to see me. When I was empty, I was tossed out. But I was carefully
washed where the sugar had stuck to me, cut up in pieces for later use.
Some man trimmed my sharp corners and I looked good - except for the
parts of the writing on my red side.<br /> A pretty purple something
(oh, it was cold) was sprayed on my white side, then something gold and
sparkly. But someone put some glue all over my red side and put a piece
of paper - I think it was from a Bible - on me. Maybe I'm wrong, but I
think I felt better after that. And I did look good. But I was not
finished - on my scripture side, something was glued down. It said,
"God's Word - Read It - Love It - Live It" and a pretty butterfly was
glued on. After the tag about Faith Drops of Art was glued on, I was
finally finished and banded together with others like me and put in a
basket. <br /> We were packed in a box and taken to the post office.
After a plane ride and a ride in a postal truck, our box was put down
outside an apartment door. The box was picked up and put in a corner
and I heard someone say, "That will have to wait until after supper."<br /> Then the box was opened and we were all dumped out on the table.<br />"How
cute" - "some little girl will love this one" -" oh, look at the
butterfly" when they saw me. We were put back in the box and put in a
closet. I heard the words Hopefest and August.<br /> Then one day all
the boxes were pulled out. We were sorted and taken to a big outdoor
place. Some of us were put in baskets, others on the tables. People
came by, looked us over and chose one (just one the sign said). I was
quickly chosen, but then laid down when the lady saw something she liked
better.<br /> Finally I was picked up by a lady who was on a walker.
She put me in her husband's shirt pocket. We heard music and saw lots
and lots of people. I was taken home, the shirt hung on a hanger, and
forgotten.<br /> Several days later the shirt I was in was put on and
we went to the grocery store. The lady put her grocery list in with
me. Up and down the aisles we went. When we got to the checkout, the
lady pulled her list (I guess, to see what she might have forgotten) and
me out of her husband's pocket - except I fell to the floor. The man
and woman left and I was still on the floor. Someone picked me up,
looked at me and laid me on the counter.<br /> All day people passed
by, looked at me and put me back down again. Near closing time, the
cashier began to clean up her space. She noticed me and put me near her
cash register. At the end of the day, the doors were locked and the
cleaning crew began to clean the store. Everything was dusted, swept
and mopped.<br /> The next day, the cashier seemed happy to see me.
She picked me up and read me again. Several times during the day, she
looked at me with a strange look in her eyes.<br /> Near the end of the
day, a very tired looking lady with three small children came through
her line. I guess she had just enough money for bread and milk because
she told the kids they couldn't get anything else.<br /> After the lady
paid, the cashier gave her the receipt and also handed me to her. The
lady looked at her and at me and began to get tears in her eyes. She
smiled thank you and left.<br /> We walked to her house which has
near-by. When she got home, she made the kids a sandwich and put them
down for a nap. She sat in a chair staring at me. Remember it said,
"God's Word - Read It - Love It - Live It", She began to cry, reached
over to get her Bible and began to read. I think it was Psalms. After a
bit, she said a prayer, thanking God for the reminder about the Bible,
kissed my butterfly and put me there to mark her place.<br /> I just knew she plans to use me often.<br /> <br />TALE OF THE TAGS - 10<br />HOW I GOT TO MEXICO<br /><br />
Do you know what allergies are? It's when people sneeze, their noses
run and their eyes water. And they are miserable. Until they take
medicine - and that's where I came from. Yes, an allergy medicine box.
The inside of me was white, so I was cut up and put in a box.<br />
One day a bunch of us were laid out on a table and given a coat of paint
on our 'not white' side. We were all bright and cheerful - I was a
bright reddish-orange.<br /> The phone rang and the lady who painted me
left in a hurry - some of us were not even painted. It was several
days before she came back to finish us. I heard her tell someone on the
phone that making tags was therapy and she could do that and pray at
the same time. It seemed her husband was in the hospital and was
seriously ill. He was in something called ICU and she could not stay
with him at night.<br /> I think she must have worked on us all night.
Some of us said 'Hope in the Lord'; others said something about joy in
our heart and I said, 'Cast all your cares on the Lord, because He cares
for you.'<br /> Without finishing, she went to bed and then back to
the hospital. We didn't see her for several days. Her husband had been
moved to a room and she was able to stay with him.<br /> One day when
she came home to shower and change clothes, she took a small bag of art
supplies and a handful of us back to the hospital. She worked on us and
put us on the window sill to dry. She put a tag about Drops of Faith
Art on us and made a stack. Often the nurses and other hospital workers
watched her work on us and thought we looked pretty. Sometimes she
would give one of us away. <br /> When they cleaned her husband's room
or took him for therapy, she would go to the waiting room. Every time,
she saw this one lady sitting quietly in the corner. They had smiled
and nodded to each other but had not talked. And one day, she sat down
beside her and told her she wanted to give her something. And she
handed me to her and she read, 'Cast all your cares on the Lord because
He cares for you.'<br /> She began to cry and said she knows that is
true. But her dad had come to visit her from Mexico and had an accident
and was in the hospital. He didn't speak English so the daughter
stayed to help the hospital people know what he was saying.<br /> After
praying with the lady, 'my lady' went back to her husband's room and
got our her art supplies. She had not yet put words on all the cards.
She wrote 'Dios te ama' - Spanish for God is love and put it on the
window sill to dry. When dry, she took it to the lady to share with her
dad.<br /> When they went home from the hospital, I was put in the
lady's purse along with the tag in Spanish. When her dad was well
enough to travel, she took him home. Everybody was so glad to see him
and told him how much they had prayed for him.<br /> He showed them the
card with the words in Spanish and they wanted to know all about it.
The lady showed me and told them about the scripture.<br /> The man's
granddaughter taught an art class at her church and she thought -
'that's something we can do'. So she gathered some boxes, cards, art
supplies and me and took us to the church.<br /> She explained the tag
in English and the one in Spanish and asked if they would like to make
some to pass out to their friends and neighbors.<br /> That's how I would up in Mexico and became a sample for people to make tags in Spanish.<br /><br />TALE OF THE TAG - 11<br />COMFORT FROM A TAG<br /><br />
I was an actual store-bought blank bookmark. I don't have the kind of
stories some tags have - cracker or cereal boxes and trashed file
folders. Just a plain white boring blank bookmark.<br /> But I was in a
bag of paper scraps at a flea market. So, since it was a bargain, I
was taken home, sorted and put in with those tags with more interesting
backgrounds.<br /> Then we were all put on a big table and painted and
sprayed with glittery shiny stuff. After we were dry, we were stamped
with the picture of a lady with her eyes closed. A lady put a saying on
us - mine said, 'God has a solution before you know you have a
problem'. Sounded kinda strange. She put a label on the back about
Drops of Faith Art and a place to look up for more information. Then we
were banded together and put in a box in the closet.<br /> After a
long time we were given to a lady who was making little gift bags for a
home for abused women. I was put in a bag with chapstick, a small
package of tissues, lotion, lip gloss, hard candies, peanut butter and
crackers, cookies, note cards and a pretty pencil and some pink fuzzy
socks.<br /> We were again put in a box in the closet until one day the
lady took us to the home for abused women. The lady in charge was so
glad to have something to give these ladies who needed someone to tell
them God loves them and they were prayed for. Many of them had to leave
their homes in the middle of the night. The home provided them clothes
and the things they needed. Some had jobs and the home provided a way
to get to work.<br /> We were put on a shelf in a closet and when a new
woman come, a gift bag was given to her. My bag was given to a very
young lady who seemed to cry all the time. She just wanted to stay in
her bed in a dark room. They called it depression. She didn't pay any
attention to me, just put the bag on her nightstand.<br /> She didn't
like to go to the dining room; she didn't like to be with people. I
think she thought she was the only one with problems and she was
ashamed.<br /> One night she was hungry and opened the bag and ate the
peanut butter and crackers. As she was eating, she dumped everything in
the bag out - except me. I guess my corner caught and I stayed in the
bag.<br /> After looking everything over, using the lotion, she began
to put everything back in the bag. And she noticed me. She took me
out, read me and began to cry again. 'God has the solution before you
know you have a problem.' As she thought about that, she realized that
God knew all about her and loves her.<br /> She turned me over and read
about where to get more information. She washed her face, brushed her
hair and went down to the big living room where the computer was kept.
She looked up about Drops of Faith Art and how ladies made these tags
and prayed for just the right person to get each one. As she continued
to read, she learned that God loved her so much He gave His Son to save
her.<br /> She went to the apartment of the lady who lived there and talked to her. She gave her heart and life to Jesus. <br /> And to think - it all began when she read my tag and knew she was loved and cared for.<br /><br /> <br /><br />TALE OF THE TAGS - 12<br />SPECIAL TAG FOR A SPECIAL GIRL<br /><br />
I began as a bright piece of glitter cardstock. There were dozens like
us - pink, purple, teal, lime green - colors girls would like. I was
pink.<br /> The ladies at the church were making us for some special
girls - girls whose dads were in prison. There was a place where
families could stay when they came to visit someone in prison. It was
called a Hospitality House. Our tags would be given to the people in
charge there and given to the girls who came to see their dads.<br /> I
was such a bright pink I didn't need painting. A lady wrote on me with
a special glitter pen. She wrote 'Trust in the Lord' in white. Then
she outlined it in a sparkly silver paint. She put silver glitter all
around my edges and a large pink jewel near the top. My, I did look
good!<br /> On the back side she put the Drops of Faith Art tag and
another little sticker that said, 'God loves you and your dad too.'
Then we were all put out on a table. We looked so pretty and so
different. Our verses and decorations were all different. Each one of
us was special for a special little girl.<br /> A lady prayed -
thanking God for the opportunity to make us and for the girls who would
get us. She prayed that each one would go to the girl who needed that
special verse.<br /> We were put in an envelope and sent to the
Hospitality House. When the lady opened the envelope she was surprised -
not at us for she knew we were coming. But at how pretty and different
we were.<br /> She got the rooms ready for the families and put us in a
pretty basket at the check-in desk. She also prayed for us and the
girls who would get us.<br /> On Friday afternoon, the families began
to arrive. Saturday was visiting day. The first families that came had
babies or boys (The boys had a special basket too).<br /> Then a
mother with 2 little girls came. One was too small for a tag. The lady
who checked them in asked the little girl her name - she was Ashley and
eight years old. She was holding a pillow and a teddy bear. The lady
said, "Ashley, do you like to read?" Ashley shyly nodded her head. The
lady said, "Ashley, some ladies at a church made some bookmarks - would
you like to choose one?" I was on top - she picked me up - didn't even
look at the others and said, "Thank you and thank those ladies."<br />
They went to their room and put their things away. Ashley put me in a
book and they went to the big kitchen to get supper ready. Every family
brought their own food and prepared their own meal. It was a big room
with 3 stoves, 3 fridges and lots of tables and chairs.<br /> Ashley
and her family ate and washed their dishes. They spoke to the other
families. Everyone was tired from traveling a long distance and ready
for a bath and bed.<br /> After her bath, Ashley got her book and
looked at the bookmark. She read the verses and ran her fingers over
the glitter and jewel. She turned me over and read the two stickers -
especially the one about God loving her and loving her dad. She ran to
her mom; her mom began to cry and she said we know God loves each one of
us and we need to be sure to tell her dad.</span><br />
