This week I’ve been thinking how thankful I am for all the kindnesses that have been shown to us this past year. Oftentimes it’s so easy to complain about the things that I don’t have instead of having a “joyful heart” and grateful spirit in light of all that God has given me and my family.

Writing Them on the Doorposts: Scripture in our Home, Part 6
Last Friday, I posted about where I put Scripture so I can easily read it to Jude throughout the day. I definitely don’t forget about our older two children in this endeavor!

Writing Them on the Doorposts: Scripture in our Home, Part 3
So far I’ve shared about decorative wall art with Scripture and why I post verses on the inside of cabinet doors. Now I want to talk about why I chose the verses that I did and the purpose for displaying Scripture in our homes in the first place! The two main reasons we put up Scripture in […] Read more…
Writing Them on the Doorposts: Scripture in Our Home, Part 2
On Monday I shared how I use a decorative item to display Scripture passages in our home. Another place we keep Scripture in our house is on the inside of our bathroom cabinet doors. I typed up these verses on a piece of cardstock–I probably should have laminated it, come to think of it! “For the grace […] Read more…
Writing Them on the Doorposts: Scripture in our Home Part 1
“These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up. You shall bind them as a […] Read more…
