My alarm goes off at 5:30 in the morning on work days. There are so many days (weeks/months) that I don’t get enough sleep. I wanted to design and frame this as a reminder to try that rest is so important that God enjoys us having plenty of it. If you’re a habitual night owl with an early wake-up call, perhaps you’ll like this as a reminder too.

This design is 8″ x 8″.  It can be hard sometimes to find frames in that size locally, but I’ve had very good luck purchasing frames from this vendor on eBay.

In the crazy, busy, stressful…

Sometimes it focuses and quiets my mind to write a prayer rather than just speak one.  Of course I hope the words I’ve written have a similar affect on one or two others. If you can’t read the words well enough from this graphic, here they are:

=====================

Dear Father, in the crazy, busy stressful torrents of churning life, in the storming downpours, may you be a gentle rain, a calming brook, a deep and quiet river within us. May your voice be a summer’s breeze, a gentle lapping of waves on the shores of our soul. May you fill our hearts with peace like the whisper of wind caressing the meadow grass, like the cricket’s song welcoming twilight.

Originally I created this design to use as an illustration for an article I wrote about using words only in a digital scrapbooking layout, hence this is an unusual printable size-wise, measuring 8″x8″. Perhaps one day I’ll rework this for a more conventional frameable size. Meanwhile, it could be a nice refrigerator or bathroom mirror prayer!
