In the middle of creating Christmas decor, I received an order from an Arkansas friend. Her son has just been ordained as a minister and this has been his scripture blessing from birth so she wanted to include it in a special way for a Christmas gift.
We recently discovered the idea of a scripture blessing and I love the act of blessing each of your children with a scripture that guides them through life and reminds them of God's love. Most parents will recite the same verse every night at bedtime or perhaps at breakfast...or a time that works for their family. It doesn't have to be this long and should reflect your spiritual hopes for your children. This creative use of scripture is a beginning of establishing a Biblical worldview...where every life decision is based on God's truths and will for their lives. It's never too early to start!
This black glass board really provided a background for a trendy piece of art that is unique and personalized. I found them at a book store but I'm sure you can find something similar or simply use an art canvas.

This really is a wonderful piece, and has inspired me to do one for my older grandson, and perhaps our other three grandchildren. Our grown son is also a minister, and this idea is perfect for doing something special for him. Thank you so much for sharing the project and encouraging those of faith.
