Family Scripture
Last month I was at Enrichment meeting at the church and my friend, Mary, was discussing her family's scripture. She said she had been to someone else's house and saw that they had a "family scripture" but it was kind of long, and she thinks just posted on the fridge. Well, Mary decided that her family needed to choose a scripture. She of course, put it on her wall with vinyl letters and it looks fabulous--just like the rest of her house. (She is great at decorating!) Her scripture is "O be wise; what can I say more?" (Jacob 6:12). Great scripture. Anyways, to make a short story long, I wondered out loud "I need a family scripture." Cyndi, another friend, pipes up behind us and says "We have a family scripture. It's 'Thou shalt not kill.'" She has 6 sons, plus some step-kids too. I totally laughed; she is so funny. But after the last couple days . . . I'm thinkin' that her scripture suggestion may not be that far off. Maybe that needs to be our family scripture too. Sometimes too much together time is NOT a good thing during the summer. So now I need to do some cool decorating to display my new family scripture. Any good ideas Mary?

Maybe you could all poke your fingers and write it in blood?? Totally kidding, but I hear you, I have to remind myself of that daily between the months of June and August!
One of my favorite scriptures, and I know that Jerel agrees, is Solomons Song 7:1-3. It could be a good one for the family.
There are so many scriptures that could apply to a family. Take a picture and put it on your blog when you figure out how to display it.
Matt!! Oh, yeah, I'm definately putting that on my wall. I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner. Thanks for the tip.
No prob, Camille. I just want what is best for your family.
Hi, It's B's Mom. I would love to have you leave a comment/comments on my blog. See? I have no problem leaving one on yours. That's the way I am, nosey and interested in everyone.
Loved this post. YOU are funny, girl. Now I'm off to read more of your stuff.

Okay, I got it, do like a ghostbuster sign, but instead of a ghost it could be a gun, or numchucks, or a sword, or an anvil, some kind of violent device in the circle with a "cross-out". Are you with me? If this is too confusing, give me a call, I can help walk you through it.
Or you could snap a pic when the boys are fighting (that'd throw 'em off) then put that in the center of the circle with the "cross-out" thing, that'd be good. We could go all kinds of places with this....
I'll let you know if I have anymore ideas, I'm sure you want to know.

All very funny comments that should help you narrow down your search, Camille. I think Matt's suggestion is very good but might be a little long to vinyl. It's a good thought, however, and probably has Jerel's vote.
