Well it’s time to reveal the latest Mizz Kim product and that would be my "Gifts of the Spirit" Fragrances! Each one is named after a Gift of the Spirit and uniquely blended to capture each one. If you live local you can check them out at the Chocolate Therapy Café in Chickamauga, GA. More descriptions of each one are on the website. 

Kindness is in how we treat the store clerk or the check out person at the grocery store who may be feeling tired and irritable. It’s making a conscious decision to find ways to bless someone each and everyday through a kind work or deed. Kindness is indeed a gift from God.

Self-control. Lord, help me with this one and my love for chocolate! I think our mind plays tricks on us and we only think we can’t do without something. But, we do have the power all along. We are stronger than we give ourselves credit for. And that strength comes from God who gives us this precious gift of self control.

Faithfulness seems to be very difficult in today’s world. In marriage, friendships, work, and on and on. I feel it is most lacking in our spirituality. We put our trust in the wrong things and not in the One who has given us this precious gift. 

Patience is a virtue. Right? I struggle with this everyday. I want what I want -when I want it. On my timetable.  I think the whole world struggles a great deal with this one. Just think about anytime you drive in traffic, or when you’re in line at a store. Remember, patience IS a virtue and gift. How do you struggle with patience?

Gentleness is in a touch or in a spoken word. Gentleness is in how we work out a problem with a special person in our lives. Gentleness is a gift from God.

Goodness.  You hear people say all the time, “I’m trying to be good, but will I ever be good enough?”  To me the continual attempt is the most important part, and I know God loves me for it -  for Goodness is a precious gift from Him. Let’s go out there and make the attempt every single day! 

Peace. How many times a day do we long to have some peace?  Peace of mind. Peace in our household. Peace at work. Peace in the world! Some people have a special place they go to in their minds, or even to a physical place to find their peace. Remember, to have peace in our lives and in our spirit is a gift. Where do you go to find peace each day?

Did you ever sing in Sunday school the children’s song “I’ve got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart!? And most likely we did feel that way when we were kids. We weren’t afraid to express our joy in even the simplest things.    I think Joy goes way beyond just being happy. Having true Joy in our spirits is a gift, so I want to know what brings you great joy?......

Love is a beautiful thing. I think we can all agree on that.  I believe Love is defined in many ways, and it can mean something unique to each individual. For me there are different types of love, but the greatest is unconditional love. That is a precious gift that comes from above. I hope you will cherish the ones you love each and every day. Please feel free to comment on what love means to you…..
