Visuals

What can I say? I am a girl that loves 'em. I guess that's why I love pictures on my memory board. And lavender ribbon from floral arrangements. And feathers from hikes. And scribbled notes from sermons. And notes from friends. And scrap fabric. And old Christmas cards.

I like to be able to see something that might seem insignificant to others, but reminds me of why I kept it.

My chalkboard is to reflect....

Why did I write that verse? How did I feel when I wrote it? Who said it? What does it mean to me? Will my boys laugh when I tell them "Quit the superfluity of naughtiness!"?

The necklace found in the bottom of Drew's bookbag is to remember....

I have 9 more years until he is 18..... I am the most important girl in his life right now, although it's fleeting..... Pray for his future wife..... Teach him about purity and respect..... Hug him a little tighter while he still will let me.

And my three strand cord is to remind....

I trust that the Lord hears my prayers..... I promise to pray for our upcoming revival, Pastor Terry, and Harold Vaughan..... I am thankful for Twin Oaks..... Through my prayers, I am taking part of something big that only God can do.

The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.... James 5:16

I think one of the most important things we can do for each other is pray for our children. They are the ones who will carry on, and inevitably it will change from what we are, but perhaps we can leave the tiniest something behind, that they will put on their board of life! thank you joni! love in HIM
