I made this ornament out of polymer clay and wrote the name of a special little girl on the back with a Sharpie. I am hanging it up to remind myself to pray for her whenever I see it.
At our old house, I stamped a round clay ornament with a butterfly, put our friend Lindsey's initials on the back, and hung it from a cabinet just to the left of the kitchen sink, where I saw it all throughout the day and thought of Lindsey's family and prayed for them (I later gave the ornament to Lindsey's mom and sisters so I need to make another!).
I have been really challenged lately to pray more and pray for more people. I have a good pen-and-paper list for this, but I like having these little reminders up all around the house as well. They help to keep people on my mind and close to my heart.
I love that idea. I think it's great to pray thoughout the day whenever you think of someone and this is an awesome and pretty way to remember:) Going to make me some ornaments.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jane! Have fun making your ornaments! What are you going to put on them? :)
DeleteWhat ornament makes you think of me?
ReplyDeleteI need one in the shape of a big trophy . . . in honor of your amazing fantasy sports and men's softball skilz.
DeleteI used to have a wind chime that would remind me to pray. Love this idea Amber! So thoughtful.
ReplyDeleteA wind chime--that is a beautiful reminder! :) And here in TX we would get plenty of reminders, for sure. I love that idea. Thanks, friend!
