A Precious Hymn Treasure

As I have homeschooled my 4 children this week, I took a new approach to handwriting practice. One that came to mind as a simple idea, and, turned into a God thing as the week progressed on. Now, as Friday is here, I stand in awe of my God that He would take such a small school activity to so richly bless me. Then, it gave me an idea for my album…..so, I’m passing it on.

Teach your children one of your favorite hymns, worship chorus, or scripture verse. Go over the words - teach them the meaning - share with them the reasons the words touch you. Then, give them a simple piece of writing paper, give them the words, and let them copy a few key words or sentences. Take a pix of them holding the paper (with you, if you can), and save the paper. Can you imagine 5, 10, or even 20 years from now having that treasure? You can bet I have already filed mine away to save in my album!

I have included one of my favorite links on the web. It is a place to find not only the words to many hymns, but, also some background information about the writer. http://www.cyberhymnal.org/

What if you continued this each year on your birthday or Christmas - a gift to yourself from your children….They will know more about your heart; they will learn more of the Lord; and, you will have a treasure forever…..How awesome is that!

How to Use Unto All Generations

I thought maybe I would share some ways you can use The Unto All Generations Series. This book is full of hundreds of scriptures for scrapbooking. I know since the time the book was completed, I have added scripture to so many pages, it is actually been exciting to see my albums take on a new meaning - I pray you will find the same blessing.

Scrapbookers Suggestions For Use
~ Find a perfect scripture as a page topper
~ Create a page embellishment by retyping the scripture in word, changing the font, and printing on a favorite color of picture safe paper
~ Use an appropriate scripture as a journaling prompt or to fill in that little empty space that ‘just needs something’
~ Use an appropriate scripture as a Title Page

Journaling Suggestions For Use
~ Choose a appropriate scripture, then journal your feelings about that verse
~ Use a scripture at the top of your journaling page
~ Use a scripture when you can’t find the words to express your feelings

Life Suggestions For Use
~ I have to be honest, and say that I have referred to this book when I was trying to say the right words to my children in a situation that I wanted to use scripture: For example, as talked about the changing leaves, I looked in Nature; as we talked about a new school year, I looked in New Path.

I hope this helps to answer any questions you may have about the book, and helps give you some guidance to help you get the best use. And, please remember, if you have any questions or comments, I would love to hear them!

Unto All Generations, Vol 1

Do you faithbook? Do you wish you could find an appropriate scrapbooking scripture for that precious picture? Do you want to leave a legacy through your albums? The Unto All Generations Series is the perfect help! Volume 1, Family and Heritage Scriptures, is now available. This amazing book is filled with scriptures for scrapbooking and stamping divided into easy to use categories such as children, parents and nature.

This book has been years in the making, and, is very exciting for anyone who has seen it. It is perfect to help you find a wonderful page topper, create an embellishment, or fill in that space on your page that seems to be needing a little something. We pray that it helps you leave a legacy, that could make an eternal impact.

As the first volume neared completion, Hurrican Katrina had left her path of destruction. So, we have chosen to dedicate Unto All Generations, Volume I, to the victims of Katrina - $3 from the sale of each book will be donated to the North American Mission Board for the care of, and ministry to, those whose lives were devestated. And, in the book, I found the perfect verse…… a promise from God:
Victims of Katrina, I will build you up again and you will be rebuilt. Again you will take up your tambourines and go out to dance with the joyful. Jeremiah 31:4
