I’ve never been a decorator. My mother isn’t either…nor is my grandma. So, it isn’t something I learned growing up, and it most certainly doesn’t come naturally.  When I first read about decorating with scripture, I loved the idea, but passed it off as something I would never be able to pull off.

God has me leading the Tuesday Night Women’s Bible Study.  We have studied Obadiah and currently are studying Joel.  Each week we have a memory verse.  I can’t memorize anything unless I see it a gazillion times over and over.  So, I made cards for myself and the other ladies in my group, and I figured while I was at it, I should try to make them cute.  These I stuck on the wall above my desk.

Then I started paying attention to other things I have done. Christians in China have a special place in my heart. This says “Remember those in bonds as though you are bound with them. Hebrews 13:3″ It’s actually one of my favourite wall scrolls.

I then mentioned to my mother in law that I was trying to learn to decorate, and to do alot with scripture. So she gave me this in reference to 1 Cor. 13:13

In the same spirit of my memory verse cards, I made some larger cards, and framed them.

(Psalm 127)

(Philippians 4:8)

And I have to admit, Christmas has gotten me in the mood for thinking about the names of God.

Turns out that this was something that I can do. And it is extremely refreshing to see God’s word through out my day all over the house.
