Writing on the Wall

Deuteronomy 6 gives instructions about 

remembering and talking about

God's commandments at home.

Write them on the doorframes

 of your houses and on your gates.

Deuteronomy 6.9

Perhaps you have seen a

mezuzah or even tefillin.

(Have fun looking those up!)

Well, thought I,

what word or phrase would

I like to make as a motto

for our wall?

GRACE popped into my mind.

So, using some things I had on hand,
I drew out the letters and,
not without mishap,
cut them out.

I used the same contact paper
I got at Goodwill a while ago.

Using a Jot permanent marker,
I colored the front of the letters.

They were quite bold.

I decided I wanted to embellish
my letters, so I freehanded some
designs in the letters using
a craft knife and a hole punch.

- Hint:  If you decide to try
this in some form, cutting from
the paper side is a little
less tricky, think I,
because the vinyl side can stretch a bit
while being cut. -

Dollar Tree had some wall stickers.
I started out with one.

Two more ...

then the rest of one side of the
package were pressed into service...
(Get it  Oh, you did?  Sorry.)

(These inexpensive stickers needed careful handling.
Two got ripped.  They are hiding on the high
part...)

So, how much more can we say, "We were slaves...

but the Lord God brought us out...

with a mighty hand."

GRACE

Do I need a reminder?

Am I just stating a truth?

Both, I think. :)
