Strong Foundations

Beach House Update:

Today we spent some time at our (not soon enough to be) new home.  While we were there we decided to write some scriptures on the walls of our home.  I want us to always remember that life is about keeping our eyes on Jesus and not about material things.  Don't get me wrong, this will be our most beautiful home to date and we are grateful we're able to afford it, but having a beautiful home isn't what's most important in life.  This was a family activity today.  The kids helped write the scriptures in their rooms.  They were so excited to take part in it!  They are supposed to start insulating and dry walling this week so it was important that we got this done today.

Here's a recent picture...Still about 7 months out.  

For our kitchen:

 In our office:

 A family favorite - in the hallway by the front door:

In our family room:

In our dining room:

 On an exterior wall between the kitchen and the family room:

 Perfect for the laundry room, huh?

In our closet:

In our bedroom: 

Another bedroom verse: 

Little Man's room:

Another good one for him:

He wanted to write 1 Corinthians 13:1-7 in his room.  He wrote it all from memory.  He learned this at school this year. 

 In Sissy's room:

She and Daddy wrote this in her bathroom:

 This one is hard to read, but I wrote Deuteronomy 28:6 by our side door which we will use daily - You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.

The kids had a great time helping us with this activity.  I can't believe that this is our 4th build and we only now thought to do this!!!  I'm so glad that we did - a lesson for the kids to always thank God for everything we have and to (literally) build our home on the word of God.
