We all are. But sometimes we need a little reminder.

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!

I read the words, “Learn the unforced rhythms of grace” and had to design a print around them.

There are two versions here – one a touch more feminine in subtle florals, and one with the rhythm of waves. Trim around the border for a finished 5″x7″ frameable print.

Who’s been a blessing in your life? It’s always nice to tell them in person, but how sweet to open the mailbox and find a card waiting with a special note of thanks.

Just print, fold and fold again for a personalized card that easily fits into a standard
Baronial A-2 envelope (4 3/8″ x 5 3/4″).

Ancient Wisdom from
God’s Love Letter

This bookmark comes 4-up on a sheet. Print on heavy paper stock and trim around borders.

Just print, fold and fold again for a personalized card that easily fits into a standard
Baronial A-2 envelope (4 3/8″ x 5 3/4″). Mail to someone, or simply tuck the card into your purse with a handwritten note when you meet a friend for coffee or at your house of worship. Although this wasn’t specifically designed for children, it would still be a lovely thing to give a child with a note inside.

A beautiful, ancient Celtic prayer

This makes a lovely gift when framed – simply trim around the border for an 8″x10″ finished piece.
