When I was a little girl, I found, and still do find, comfort in the Bible. When I was scared, I would put it under my pillow, or sleep with my hands touching the pages. Sleeping with my Bible made me feel better. More secure.
I still do that to this day. And one night after sleeping with a large lump under my pillow, I thought how cool it would be to have the WORD of God printed on my pillowcase. If you are like me, you have 1,000’s of ideas that come and go, but this one was different. It wouldn’t leave me alone! Little did I know, that God had big plans for this small piece of fabric we lay our head on every night, to be used for HIS glory… and He pieced the puzzle together perfectly. Piece by piece.
Not knowing that I was looking for someone to make each pillowcase unique and special, (because folks, I can draw a stick figure and that’s it!) a lady, who I didn’t know, sent me a picture of a cross she made. Custom with calligraphy and a cross penny my dad punched on it. From that email, I knew that SHE was the one I was looking for to pen each scripture for the pillowcases! Talk about a God-appointed email!!
So now I had the designer, I was on my way to printing but something just wasn’t right…my heart wasn’t in it just for retail, I desired this to be a ministry!
Then God gave us the idea to make this a true ministry with the REST and BLESS Outreach! With each pillowcase purchased, a Bible will be given to the homeless, orphaned or widowed here in the US. We’ve contacted several ministries to make this happen… from street ministers to homeless shelters to nursing homes. You buy the pillowcase, then we ship a Bible.
You REST on the Word and you BLESS someone with the Word… literally!
You can find Pillows of Truth pillowcases in the Good Treasures bookstore or online at www.pillowsoftruth.com
