Sweet Blessings!

Do you ever just sit and look at a space...
and think...
hummmmm
It needs a little something more?
 ~
Please pay no attention to the mess outside..
focus on the window..
particularly the banner....
 

  I love the idea of a banner hanging in my dining room.....
Perhaps saying...
"Give Thanks".....


Something making a statement about who I am...

or 

What it means to be in this area...
Perhaps.....
A welcome to guest....
Who sit at our table......

What do you think?

Maybe I could stencil something in Bold letters
Or 
Keep it simple 
and use White.....

What do you think?

Maybe.........
~
Something that causes folks to pay attention to the details...
Of who I am...
What my home represents...

What do you think?


Maybe I should leave it.....
simply as a burlap Banner...
Speaking for itself...
With a simple statement of color and texture....

What do you think?


Yep....
I like the idea of a banner hanging in this area...
~
As a reminder...
To Give Thanks....
To Our Lord...
Who is over all....
As a reminder that He is A Good God...
~
A God who Provides....
~
A God Who gives Peace..
~
A God who Protects...
~
And...
A God who Loves....

Song Of Solomon
2:4
"He has taken me into the banquet Hall....
and his Banner over me is Love!"



A little reminder for you this week...

God loves you!
Allow His banner of love 
To cover you!

BLESSINGS!

  9. It is a very nice reminder and adds texture and color to your space! I like it! And it also reminds me I need one over my French doors. I had one for Christmas and meant to make a new one when I took it down! How long has that been? lol Sweet hugs, Diane

  12. Jehovah Jireh (God is my Provider) fits. Would look nice in white! I've been wanting to make one for awhile too. Just need to find the right spot and words. Blessings, Diane

  13. I like the idea of saying something Biblical and welcoming. The gift of hospitality is sorely under-rated. You were talking, recently, about ???...anyway, this post came to mind - http://thistlecovefarm.blogspot.com/2012/05/life-like-water-stepping-on-shadows.html.

It's so nice to give a message to your guests or to remind us of something blissful & uplifting. The Bible passage you quoted about banners is so perfect!! Loving it.
