Embracing Hope<\/em> by L\u00e9a Mallett<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

FOR<\/strong> my 30th birthday 14 years ago, my bride Lea surprised me with the very first of a number of treasured pieces of artwork she managed to paint for me on the sly. I’ll never forget the day I saw for the first time her "Embracing Hope" painting of Jesus. I truly felt His presence in a remarkable way through this painting, and intensely so for months after… and many of those graces remain. \"\"Through six consecutive moves since that time, it has taken a prominent place in our living rooms, bedrooms, and now on the backdrop in my webcast studio here on our little farm. <\/p>\n

When I launched EmbracingHope.tv<\/em><\/a> over 3 years ago, it only seemed fitting to use this powerful image to become the "icon" of that show. Since then, we have have had many a request to have the painting duplicated for others to enjoy. Lea and I have talked off and on about having limited edition prints done… but the logistics and expense of that was always too prohibitive. <\/p>\n

In a late night conversation recently where Lea and I were sharing our concerns about how we are going to make ends meet this winter, Lea said to me "Mark, it’s time to make the image available to people in a way that is affordable, practical, and faith-building." So here’s what we have decided to offer you, my faithful readers and supporters…<\/p>\n

Starting today, for every minimum $50 donated or spent in our online store this pre-Christmas season, we will give you a complimentary Embracing Hope Desk Calendar (with Christian calendar dates and a monthly prayer beneath the image) & a beautiful Embracing Hope Fridge Magnet (5 1\/2" x 4 1\/4" on glossy vinyl\u2014it’s really a wonderful centerpiece in the kitchen!)  <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Thank you SO much in advance for supporting our ministry in this way. Your support is needed more than ever in these trying economic\"5 times. I hope that Lea’s "Embracing Hope" icon will bring as many graces into your soul as it has mine.<\/p>\n
