Oh my goodness. It's been a while since I posted anything on this blog. Between the fact that our wifi and internet were spotty for the last month, the Christmas rush and other assorted things going on, blog updates just slipped my mind. Oops.
First and foremost, we want to thank all of our customers that made 2020 our biggest year ever. We value our customers that have been with us for years and years and welcome our new customers. We hope that we can continue to meet your needs and bring you new items and collections in this new year.
Also a hit in 2020, is our self-study Bible page, The Word of God, on Facebook. The Gospels are shared daily and so are notes to help you in your studies. You can just read them daily or comment and start discussions. It has been a tremendous help to many of our followers, while they were on lock down. It's a nice habit to get into as well ~ putting contemplative reading of the holy word into your day ~ so join us or follow at: https://www.facebook.com/TheWordofGodBibleStudyGroup.
Our eBay store currently has close to 1,000 products in it. If you are looking for something specific and do not see it, please contact us!! We have literally thousands of products available and 99% of the time have it or something similar. If we don't have it, we will find it for you, as we did for our friend Barb, who was looking for specific prayer books. We can be reached at mare@gloryglorygifts.com.
As we look ahead to this year, we will be focusing more on prayer aids and products. We will be increasing our line of chaplets and one-decade patron rosary beads. Prayer should be such an important part of the day for all of us. Let us help you find the item that you need to accomplish that. We do currently have some available in our store, such as these beautiful items. They are the Divine Mercy chaplet beads and the St. Francis of Assisi prayer for peace rosary beads. You can purchase them here: https://www.ebay.com/str/gloryglorygifts.
Lastly, let us talk about holy water!! Because of COVID-19, many churches are dry and do not even have a dispensary for holy water. If this is the case in your parish, and you need holy water (who doesn't?), there is something that you can do. You can fill an empty bottle with water and bring it to your priest to have him say a special blessing over it. Holy water is a sacramental of the church so it must be blessed by a priest. We have holy water bottles for purchase, both individually and in bulk for economical prices! https://www.ebay.com/str/gloryglorygifts/Anointing-Sets-Water-Bottles/_i.html?_storecat=50747471013.
Lastly, let us all be the change that we want to see in others. I've added this prayer to my daily afternoon prayers and try to take it to heart when dealing with others. God bless us all with peace, and let it begin with me.
"Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.
O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen."
~ Prayer of St. Francis
