Homemade Soap & Mug GIVEAWAY!

 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such, there is no law."
Galatians 5:22,23

I first "met" Valentine through her sweet comments on our Mountain Hope Band YouTube channel. She has encouraged my heart so many times and has been a constant supporter, and now I want to return that love by sharing with you about her family's new soap business, For His Name's Sake! These soaps are unique in that they are imprinted with the names of the nine fruits of the Spirit mentioned in Galatians 5:22,23.

 
What a wonderful idea and they are so pretty, too!

One of you blessed readers will receive a total of nine bars of Valentine's goat milk-based "Fruit of the Spirit handcrafted soap" pictured above!

And that's not all!

You will also receive this beautiful mug, personalized with your name!

To enter couldn't be simpler—just leave us a comment below. 

~Please note~
If you are an anonymous commenter, we have no way to identify or contact you, and you will not be entered in the giveaway unless you state your name and contact information in the comment.
Please make sure you include a way for us to get in touch with you!

 Due to shipping costs, the giveaway is only available to readers who live in the US.

The giveaway will be open to enter for two weeks. The drawing will be sometime on Friday, January 27, 2023, and will be announced here on the blog. The winner will also be notified via email.

If you would like to order Valentine's soap or any of the other products her family offers, click here to check out their website. I always love to support fellow Christians and their businesses, and I hope you will stop by and show them some love!

"As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith." Galatians 6:10

I am not sure what is going on with blogger. There are so many issues. Some are no longer being notified when I publish a new post, and different ones are having problems leaving comments. If you try to leave a comment and are unable to and you would like to be entered into the giveaway, please email us at homespundevotions@gmail.com.

    1. Thank you for your kind words, Linda, and I just love the name of Valentine's business name, too! I appreciate you sharing your thoughts on the blogger issues. I am no longer being notified at all when bloggers publish a new post, and unless it comes to my mind to go check all the blogs, I am not aware they have posted. It is really sad that so many are losing touch because of this and has been such a frustration. May God bless you, sweet friend.
