Sometimes, before I am even aware of it, an entire day has passed.
Sometimes, before I am even aware of it, my baby has turned into a toddler.
Sometimes, before I am even aware of it, it’s been an entire week before I give Jesus any significant thought.
Does that ever happen to you? You blink, and a day is gone. You get caught up in the rushes of the day, the moments that matter, the messes to clean up, and an entire day is gone.
How easy it would be for an entire life to pass you by. To blink, and have missed it.
How desperately I do not want that to happen. I want to dig in to these days. I want to be here. With my people. Doing what we love. Living a life that matters.
Living this one, precious, significant, life well.
What helps me is to have anchors in my day. Mainstays that will hook me, hold me in, keep my restless heart from wandering. And for me, the anchor that stills me and encourages me and gives me new and better and complete perspective is words from the bible. Verses that speak into my life and into my moments and remind me to breathe. To be in this moment, to live this life well, and to love others as we do it all together.
Sometimes when the days seem overwhelming, the mundane is outweighing the magnificent… I just need a little reminder of what really matters… to do JUSTICE, to love KINDNESS, to walk HUMBLY with your God.
I keep these cards throughout my house and they keep me anchored to truth.
To root yourself in LOVE. To grasp how very, very much we are loved.
To Bless our Lord, with all of our soul.
And so I created verse cards to do that very thing that I needed. Some of my favorite verses that I sprinkle throughout my home and my world so that I will glance upon them frequently and they anchor me to now.
I put them on a key ring and carried them around with me in my purse. They have sat in a basket next to my kitchen sink and I flip to a new verse to read each day. I have taped one to my bathroom mirror, one to my fridge, and one on our magnet board.
To let go of what I need to let go of, to sit in the sweet and sacred moments and remember that it is all just such a gift.
And that is my hope for you. I pass this pack of 10 4×4 printable verse cards on to you {FREE!} as we walk through our moments and celebrate this life.
