We all have the means to bestow on others the most lavish gifts: 
"Decide that joy is the hue you want your heart to be and then start making the little and large choices that over time will paint your heart happy."
Here is a saying I've always liked. I painted this years ago and it was tucked away in a closet. Then Jeanne reminded me of the saying , so I got it out of hiding and am going to hang it somewhere again. Thanks Jeanne.
Old plaques reminding me of eternal truths and causing me to remember my Grandma's house where a plaque like this hung on the wall.
I like fun sayings in colorful posters.
I like to incorporate words into my quilts.
A wonderful old marriage blessing hangs in our bedroom.
I like to group pictures with words.
I did this crosstitch of Proverbs 31.
My sister painted this one. This is what I want our home to be.
I like original artwork with scripture .
Another vintage print. There is a little story to go with this one. I got it at a garage sale years ago and on the back there is an inscription saying that it was 1st prize given to "Somers Peat for repetition of scripture." I showed it to my 75 year old aunt because I knew she loved things like that and I showed her the back because I thought it was interesting. She said in surprise, "I knew Somers Peat". So I figure this picture must be almost a 100 years old.
Words above the sink.
I painted these words above the kitchen window.
I love this one. Someone wrote on the back that it was quoted by King George VI at the end of his annual Christmas radio message. It's from a poem by Marcus Tilley.
This my last one is perhaps my favorite. When I was very young, maybe 9 or 10 I remember a book of quotes my dad had and I recall loving this little poem in it. So when I found it one day when I was out thrifting, I was thrilled.
So my dear blogging friends, know that I am thinking about you today and sending a smile your way. Hope some of these words may encourage you today.
