Mom's Relaxation Gifts
I don’t relax a whole lot. On top of the fact that it seems like I was born running, I just don’t have much time available to relax.

But last week, I told you about the fabulous Scripture coloring & journaling that I’ve discovered (mostly because it arrived in my mailbox).

Well, in just a few days, I’ve established a new routine for about 15 minutes each morning that is just lovely. While I have my tea, I paint a small section of my Live Free book by Margaret Feinberg. Each coloring spread has a verse, so I read the chapter the verse comes out of, then write a verse in the journal section from the passage that contains that verse. I work on memorizing the verse while I paint. The next day, I paint another small section and write an additional verse from the same passage, re-reading the same chapter. I’m memorizing passages of Scripture, and I’ve found an enjoyable creative outlet. We do Bible Road Trip, so I read the Bible later in the morning with the kids, and we also have family worship in the evening with my husband, but this is just time for me to relax and think on the Word of God.

My good friend Tauna of Proverbial Homemaker and I decided more moms need to relax–even if it’s just for 15 minutes a day–and we’d like to help. We’ve put together this Mom’s Relaxation Kit to encourage you to take just a little time to put your hair up, soften your hands, pour a cup of tea, apply (or diffuse) some essential oils, read the Bible and color or paint.

The giveaway has ended, but that doesn’t need to stop you from relaxing! Check out these great mom’s relaxation gifts and pick out something special for you or a friend!

Alright, let’s help you relax, shall we?

  1. These books look great not only for adults, but I feel they would be good for a Bible study for preteen-young teen girls who have trouble sitting still and focusing. We service a lot of the community during our Wednesday night outreach. I would be anxious to preview these books to see if we can reach the lost with the attraction of art.

    I love spending time with the Lord. Before doing anything else in the morning, I read my Bible and pray. This fills me up and gives me the extra strength that I need to keep going. I find my attitude is better and my response to difficult situations becomes positive.
    Thank you for this wonderful giveaway!

  39. All of these products look amazing! I’ve had some experience with the Mary Kay satin hands collection. It’s really nice. And a friend has a set of the Prismacolor pencils and loves them. And? The loose leaf tea samples would be so neat. I use loose leaf all of the time. That in itself is so relaxing. It makes me feel like I’m stepping back in time, slowing down.

    Reply

  58. All of these products look amazing. What a great way to take time out of your day to pray or ready your mind for reading God’s word! I did not know that there were coloring books with scriptures! That’s wonderful!

    What steps I normally take to save time for the Lord and bring me closer to Him is I get up before the kids and make time to pray for the day and for protection for my kids to resist the bad things they will undoubtedly see and hear when I am not with them. I also pray for gentle reminders so that I can keep my mind focused on where it needs to be.

    Happy relaxing!

    It is amazing how relaxing it can be to get up early In the morning while everyone else is still asleep, get a cup of coffee, and open up The Word of God. I find myself looking forward to my quiet time. It is refreshing and sets the mood for my day.

    Reply

  72. Oh how absolutely lovely. And while I’m a “veteran mom” with “only” half of my ten children at home now, I think I just might need this as much or more as when they were little.

    Reply

  87. I Pray every night for the Lord to give me wisdom and knowledge with his word and let me feel the spirit around me and to make sure I always Pray his will be done

    Reply

  89. The biggest step I can take to focus on my relationship with the Lord is to spend my time more wisely. That 30 minutes I spend on Facebook every morning before everyone else wakes up would be better spent in the Word. The 30 minutes drive to and from work? Listening to Christian radio or talking to God.I know what I need to do, but am not always mindful of it. I recently had a mild stroke, so I am grateful, I just need to spend this time I’ve been given more wisely.

  99. Well, honestly.. life has been very tough lately. I lost my precious 80 year old Nana on May 2nd and today is actually her birthday. These few weeks have been miserable to say the least and I definitely need some type of program to help me focus emotionally nd spiritually. I think this would be so beneficial to me.

    Reply

  100. Coloring has helped me relax for a long as I can remember and it’s so nice to have adult pages available these days instead of making due with kids pages. These would be multipurpose in directing thoughts away from the stresses of life and to the only one can replace them!

    Reply

  103. I like to wake up early and have a quiet time- but I have also started trying to incorporate breath prayers- in the challenging moments- “Lord, have mercy,” in the peaceful, thankful moments- “Thank you, Lord” or “Bless your Name.” It helps! 🙂

  115. Relax? What is that? Definitely something I need to work on! What better way to do that than with the Word of God.

    Reply

  116. Yes – relaxing, and focusing on/grounding myself in Truth, worshiping the One who is worthy… all things I could definitely do more of. Memorizing Scripture and listening to songs or hymns rich in Biblical truth would be two good items to add into my routine more regularly.

    Reply

  117. I could really use a relaxation kit, for sure!!!! Our house recently flooded and I’ve been slightly overwhelmed with our living situation, inability to do school, loss of a ton of our curriculum and just the stress of having a house that is upside down!

    To relax today and trust in the Lord, I will listen to my favorite “feel good” song (Hold me by Jamie Grace), read my Bible, and then probably go and listen to a sermon by RC Sproul. Thanks for the opportunity!!

  129. I like to write out a verse to think on, on my little chalk board. The art of choosing and then writing it in an attractive manner then Reading it in my kitchen multiple times a day is peace filling.

  130. I try to have a quiet time with the Lord each morning but often feel stuck in a rut…doing the same thing over and over so that I’m doing it out of routine rather than desire to draw closer to my Father. This would definitely change things up. Thanks for the chance to win!

  177. I’ve been bible journaling and coloring in adult coloring books that feature bible verses or encouraging quotes for over a year now. It has really helped my mood since I’ve been bedridden for over 2 years. This would be great for me since I’m unable to go to a spa or something similar.

  200. I do need to relax. To be able to spend time with the Lord I try to get up earlier in the morning before my kids in order to read His word and pray. I would love to try to “get away” with Him more often during the day so that is something that I could work on

    Reply

  201. What an amazing gift! My life seems very stressful right now but I’ve been working my way through a scripture writing challenge from Heidi St. John and I have found the act of reading a few verses, meditating on them and then copying them into my journal to be very helpful.

    Reply

  204. Do I need to relax? Absolutely! I try to spend some quiet time alone every day reading my bible and singing worship songs, and that seems to really help me relax. I also enjoy working in my garden to relax. Something about working in the dirt and helping things to grow and thrive is very satisfying. I even find cleaning my house to be relaxing, but only if I’m not rushed. This giveaway looks fantastic, and it’s exactly what I need right now.

  217. The best way for me to relax and connect in my relationship with the Lord is QUIET time. With homeschooling 3 children, quiet is hard to find. I take my devotions, a notebook, and a pen outside with me and find a quiet place to connect with Him. It refreshes me. I need to make sure that I do this on a DAILY basis.

  233. I really need to understand that it is not selfish of me to have some time away from my kids to spend in quiet with God. As a homeschholing mom and type A personality, I can be so focused on the kids and school that I do not take time to relax and refresh with Him. I need to enforce some quiet time each day so that I can spend some time in His word, hear what He has to say to me, and rest in His promises.

  234. I think everyone needs to relax and stop stressing about so many things. I love to sit outside and read to relax.

  235. Yes I definitely need to relax- I am terrible at it! I used to keep a prayer journal after reading scripture every day before I had kids and it was a wonderful restful time with the Lord. I would like to start that again. Thank you for the awesome giveaway!

  237. I do need a way to relax!!!! My husband has PTSD so the frustration levels build. I don’t mean for them to… Honestly I don’t!!! But sometimes I just simply don’t understand it and j get angry… And that’s not fair to him.

Then having scripture posted around as reminders of what I read when it WAS quiet, that really helps refocus during the day. Practice rejoicing always, praying without ceasing and giving thanks in all things- there are many opportunities each day!

  294. I desperately need to relax! Today I had my 5 & 3 year old take a rest time while the baby napped so that I could put my feet up in quiet & have some chocolate while reading a spiritual book & having a moment of prayer. Even 15 minutes was helpful!

  313. This is fabulous. Every single day, I think to myself “I need to just relax with a cup of tea and doodle a scripture verse or color in my coloring book” and I never do!!!

I’ve been buying red Verithins for my boss for nearly 10 years for marking up shop drawings. He likes these pencils in specific because of how long they last and how easy the color is to see.

    My biggest lesson learned and advice I give every parent seeking guidance to beginning their homeschooling adventure is this: Leave room for GRACE at the table in every homeschooling moment. We all need a little grace and if ‘she’ has a seat at the table during lessons, the day goes much smoother for all involved.

    Happy END of the school year, parents – WE DID IT! 🙂

Just the two of us. I do spend time with Him, and me and the kids have prayer time together to start our day. At night me, my husband, and the kids have Bible and prayer time as well. But there’s nothing like one-on-one time with the Lord.

I made an effort to wake up extra early today to allow myself more time for morning prayers and devotions… And every few days I put a new scripture verse in our chalkboard. It’s a good reminder to look to Jesus when things get crazy.

    Reply

  490. Yes, I need to relax! Don’t ALL moms?
    I recently began to follow some wonderful advice that I found in the book, Quiet Moments Alone with God by Emilie Barnes. She suggests making a “prayer basket” that contains a Bible, a daily devotional or inspirational reading, a notebook and pen, tissues in case you may need to cry, and some postcards when you are moved to pray for someone. You now have a convenient, portable reminder to spend time alone with God each day. It can be taken anywhere- your bed, under a tree, the bathtub, kitchen, etc. Wherever you feel compelled to talk with Him that day.
    I highly recommend this book to all women!

  492. In order to relax, I need to keep motivated to perform basic self-care. It’s so easy to give in to either the urgent and important needs of my family and home, or to completely collapse and do something not helpful but easy (like mindless, but not good-for-me TV watching or internet browsing). This giveaway could help keep me motivated to focus on self-care!

  493. This is a fantastic giveaway. I wasn’t going to enter. I honestly thought that I should leave it to a deserving woman that would truly revitalize herself with these awesome gifts. I know myself and would I REALLY sit for a cup of tea with a new journal/coloring book? Then this week happened. Why did THIS week happen? because the last month happened. Not once did I stop, breathe and refill. Other than taking a quick minute so I could take on the next 60 minutes I just kept pushing forward – for everyone else. Momma hit a low. It’s time for a change.

  506. I relax two different ways. My main way to relax is to read a good book. A good story takes me away from the cares of the day and places me in a place where my worries don’t matter. My second way to relax is to go for a nice long walk. While I do it for exercise I also do it to “commune with God’s creation.” I’ve loved seeing all the signs of spring as they appeared this year and all the wildlife I’ve seen along the trail.

    Reply

  507. My way of relaxing is reading. I love to read and always have a book with me, it distracts me from what is going on around me.
    I set time aside every morning for the Lord! To pray, to read the Word, and just to be in His presence. There I can cast my cares, tell Him I love Him, bring my needs, and just worship Him for who He is!

  517. I realllllly need to get back in the habit of daily study/prayer. I know I’m not using my minutes wisely, but it’s hard with four very small children and pregnant!

  518. I would love to relax and get closer to the Lord. I need to learn to get up earlier so I can have quiet time studying the Bible. With this kit maybe I can relax better at bedtime so I could wake up earlier! 🙂

  521. I have enjoyed trying artistic Bible journaling. It has really helped me stay focused on what I am reading.

  523. I can find some time for just the Lord and I. To read scripture. Sometimes the time is short, but that is better than none.

  524. I try to relax and grow in the Lord together by praying with my husband. We can go over anything together and bring it to the Lord. True peace.

    Thank you for having the giveaway,

  530. I need to make the choice after my kids go to bed (there are circumstances that do not allow me to get up before them) that I will go straight to alone time with God. It is tempting to go do chores or social media or watch a movie on the couch first and squeeze time with God in before going to bed, if I am awake enough, but time with God does need to come first.

  535. I definitely need to relax! What mom doesn’t? I’m going to make an effort to find some place quiet today to do my devotions and let God’s truth pour over me.

  536. Time to meditate on the word. By keeping my hands busy coloring, I can then meditate on what God is saying through Scripture.

  537. I think the biggest thing I need to do is create time to spend with the Lord. It’s so easy to get busy with the kids, school, and house work that I don’t prioritize enough time to spend with God.

  538. I’ve been following a routine in the morning….coffee, the Lord’s word, reading Spurgeon, and writing in my gratitude journal.

  540. What a great collection of tools to relax, something most moms do not take the time to do in constructive ways. My time with God has been spotty lately and I would love to try the coloring books!

  547. Oh my goodness what an amazing giveaway! I absolutely love essential oils and would love to try these Rocky Mountain oils and blends as well as the teas! I’m actually enjoying a cup of chamomile and ‘catch your z’s’ right now. 😉 Thank you for another amazing giveaway! Many Blessings to you!

  549. Music is one of the first things that comes to mind for me… Songs like Jonny Diaz’s “Breathe”. Listening to that, with a nice cup of tea, and one of these coloring books would be a lovely start~ meditating on His Word.

    • Oh, yes, and I forgot.. I haven’t gotten into diffusing oils yet, but my I love walking into my friends’ homes who do… That can only help with focus, concentration, and “breathing” in God’s Word. 🙂 This whole package is an amazing giveaway! 🙂

  552. I really enjoy early morning time to read my Bible. And I try to go to bed early with plenty of time to read a good book.

    Reply

  553. I try to have some time each afternoon to sit and relax in quiet. During this time I ask my kids to read or rest. I love to have verse cards on the refrigerator above the ice/water dispenser so when I fill my glass I can read them.

    Reply

  556. I like to try to take a little time in the afternoon to refresh. Even if it is 15 minutes, it is enough to get me recharged for the rest of the day.

  557. This set looks practical and so encouraging – what a blessing to whomever wins! Thanks to everyone who contributed to this giveaway 🙂

  558. To get my mind focused on the Lord, I like to put some worship music on and think about the goodness of the Lord. Closing my eyes and meditating on Him and what He’s done for me, brings me into His presence. When reading the word and journaling, it helps to get my mind on what really matters…eternal things, so that when something happens I view it through His eyes and can be Spirit led, rather than flesh led.

  559. This looks amazing!! I think I just need to be real intentional about spending time with God and starting the day with yoga too.

  560. As much as I need to relax, I would actually give this to my sister if I won it because she’s had a particularly rough month.

    Reply
