The Birth of Jesus

This is the book I wrote, designed and sewed all the illustrations. It is, as the title says, the account of the birth of Jesus. The story that has been told over and over, but with so much relevance every day.
It is a great book for kids, but also for any other age group, and, of course, the ones who appreciate patchwork and quilting.
The book can be purchased from the publishers on-line bookstore: https://www.westbowpress.com/Bookstore/BookSearchResults.aspx?Search=glaucia%20luiz%20henson
Be blessed!

Beautiful Feet


This is a wall hanging I made for Joshua's room before he was born. The black and white picture is an ultrasound image of his feet.  On the right side I embroidered Romans 10:15, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!" Joshua has been a blessing to us and brought good news even before he was born. As the desire of my heart was to be a mother and it was so difficult and took so long to be able to get pregnant. Joshua is a promise from the Lord and has promises for his life as well. I pray that he will grow and serve the Lord with the gifts the Lord gives him.
Romans 10:13-15 in the ASV says: "For 'everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.' How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him
of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, 'How beautiful are the feet of those who preach (bring) the good news!'"
The good news is the news of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and to all of us, who know the good news and have experienced the effects of the gospel in our lives, is the calling to preach, share, bring it to others, so they can call on the name of the Lord, because they heard of him from us.
MAY YOUR FEET BE BEAUTIFUL TOO!
