I love mixing textures these days.....
Glass, wood and metals....
old and new....
worn and shiny
and ohhhhh the colors......
They just seem to compliment each other.....
I love putting things together that normally would not go with each other......
or where you would normally expect them to be......
dishes in baskets and boxes....
old wooden spoons and crocks...
And so it is with the body of Christ......
God created each of us
with a special and specific purpose in mind
All of us uniquely different
But at the same time we need each other...
We compliment each other....
When we come together in unity as the body of Christ....
The church......
Our differences become beautiful decor in the eyes of God....
Romans 12:3-5
3 For by the grace given me I say to every one of you:
3 For by the grace given me I say to every one of you:
Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought,
but rather think of yourself with sober judgment,
in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you.
4 Just as each of us has one body with many members,
and these members do not all have the same function,
5 so in Christ we who are many form one body,
and each member belongs to all the others.
Happy Decorating Blessings to you!

How beautiful is this post!!!! Patty, you need to write a devorional book. YOU REALLY do. I love your post and they always come on a day I need them most. I am trying hard to get on and do what I like and just be grateful I had that boy in my life. In fact I am decorating for Christmas. Love you and keep posting
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your post today. Patty! Thanks for visiting me and I'd be happy for you to use the illustration about "labels". I thought you could also ask the ladies what were the most popular name brand labels when they were teens. My awesome grandmother made all my clothes back then, but silly me, I wanted something with a label in it :)
ReplyDeleteI love your decorating style! It's so neat how you mixed everything up. And I love how you tied it into your message for the post :)
ReplyDeleteHi Patty, Love your décor and thinking outside the normal. That's what gives so much interest. You certainly have an eye for putting treasures together. Lovely way you tied your message in with decorating. The love of God is everywhere!!
