I STILL HAVE 1 COMFORT CROSS TO GIVEAWAY!!! Soo...I am going to extend this giveaway for just 1 more day! You have until this evening, Friday, April 22nd to enter!
I recently joined this great blogging program for fellow bloggers to promote and review products called Business 2 Blogger. Through this great program, they connect you (the blogger) with companies who want you to try their products for free in exchange for a review! Pretty cool, right?
Well, I was selected by a company to try out their product! My Comfort Cross chose me as one of the bloggers to review their product! http://mycomfortcross.com/
So what is the product?
An attractive handcrafted cross made from Olive wood. The cross comes inside a beautiful red velveteen bag with a card explaining the significance of the comfort cross and this verse: “When I am afraid. I will trust in you.” – Psalm 56:3.
Designed to fit in the palm of your hand, it is perfect for taking with you anywhere...
The Olivewood Cross
Comfort Crosses are individually carved from a single unique piece of beautifully grained olive wood pruned from the olive trees around Bethlehem the birthplace of Jesus.
Christians have been carving crosses like this for hundreds of years, originally for pilgrims and more recently tourists visiting the Holy Land. Each craftsman receives a fair price to support their family and Christian community. The Comfort Cross is designed to fit comfortably into the palm of your hand as an aid to prayer or meditation. Ideal as your spiritual companion for easing children's fears, comforting worries and stresses of adults and focusing the prayer of the sick and elderly.
What's really great about this company?
Their mission is to help Christians in Bethlehem. This is a story they sent to me below:
Issa is a Christian living on the outskirts of Bethlehem and has been carving crosses and religious items his whole life to support his wife and three children. Twenty years ago my mother met Issa on a visit to Bethlehem and began importing his olive wood handicrafts. With the decline in Bethlehem tourism, Issa and other Christian Artisans are struggling. Our aim is to support them by providing a market for olive wood crosses direct to Christians in America.
Purchasing comfort crosses and other handicrafts made by local Christians in Bethlehem who are paid a fair price for their work both provides yourself with a beautiful natural reminder of Jesus Christ but also supports the presence of Christians in the land of Christ.
How much do they cost?If you go to their site, you can buy individual crosses for $6, a pair for $11 or in packs of ten for $40. Comfort Crosses can be used for fundraising and giveaways at just $3 each, see the website for all the details.
If you go to this link, you can purchase 2 crosses with cards and bag and postage within the US for $12, a $2 discount.
OR you can win one in the giveaway below! I am giving away 2 crosses to my readers!
Comfort Crosses make a wonderful gift to say “thanks” or “I care” to your pastors, priests, bible study groups, prayer groups or any family member or friend in need of a little boost in faith. Also, Easter is coming up and this would be a perfect gift to that special someone for the holiday! Comfort Crosses are also available for fundraisers!
