Show and Tell Friday: More Scripture plaques

I want to continue last week’s theme and share a few more plaques with Scripture in my home.

This is in my kitchen:

15

It was an 8×10 card that I saw in a store and loved. Usually you can find standard sized frames pretty inexpensively. The verse is Proverbs 15:15b.

This needful reminder is also in my kitchen:

Heart collection

I showed this a few weeks ago, bought years ago at a craft show.

His eye is on the sparrow

Though that exact phrase isn’t a Scripture verse, it is from a hymn based on Matthew 10:28-32.

One of the kids bought this one year for my husband.

15b

This is a print by one of my favorite artists and cross stitch designers, Paula Vaughn. I had seen it once and loved it but thought it was too expensive. Then later on my husband bought it for me. It is one of a three part set.

Here is a close-up of part of it:

This is in my bedroom.

Proverbs 31

I think I showed it once before with a group of cross stitch gifts. My sister did the cross stitch. The verse was from a packet at Doorposts. I love how the fairly simple calligraphy goes with the detailed and colorful cross stitch and how they both have to do with clothing.

This is something I cross-stitched for my husband years ago:

Isaiah 38:19b.

These are two Thomas Kincade prints that I saw in a catalog for around $20, I think:

Kincade Lighthouse prints and verses

If I remember correctly, they came with mats, so all I had to do was get frames. A good deal, I thought! They helped set the “theme” for the upstairs bathroom. They depict John 8:12 and John 1:5.

This is also in that room:

Hope

I saw it in a Home and Garden catalog and loved the design and the verse, Romans 12:12.

This is in the downstairs bathroom.

My Rock

I feel compelled to tell you that I really don’t like this wallpaper!! But we haven’t had a chance to change it yet. And I think this plaque goes well there. My mom sent it to me.

This was the first present Jim ever gave me when we were dating:

Kept and cared for

It has part of one of my favorite verses, Deuteronomy 12:12.

This one is actually off the wall now right now due to a broken frame. It is another of the Doorposts packet. It usually hangs with a picture of our sons and a poem in calligraphy about guarding the honor of your family name and reputation.

This one sits near our TV to try to remind us to apply this standard:

Purity

It was also from the packet at Doorposts.

I enjoy not only the artwork of these various pieces, but especially the reminders from God’s Word that they provide all throughout our home.

I hope it is an encouragement, too, that you can have Scriptural reminders depicted in nice art work without going to a lot of expense in many cases.

  1. My favorite is the His eye is on the Sparrow plaque. But they are all lovely. You live the scripture As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord, if your walls are any indication!!! Jennifer

  2. I also love Paula Vaughan! I have several of her cross stitch patterns, the one with the sewing machine included!

    I got bounced today, somehow I didn’t quite fit into the guidelines. That’s okay, my post stands as is.

  5. I loved all of your prints, scriptures etc. I have some but not as many as you.. You go girl. I started this when my children were young. I’m blessed that my daughter has continued this “habit” or whatever you want to call it in her home. I have a copy of the Ten Commandments and a small cross haning by them in a spot in our den. Makes for a good reminder. You blessed me and I’m sure you bless everyone who comes to your home.

  6. You have a lot of lovely prints on your various walls with many encouraging and challenging scripture reminders ~ I have several as well and love them.

    Thanks for sharing!

  13. Barbara,
    So many beautiful reminders of God’s love….His eye is on the sparrow….that just thrills by soul every time I see it…surely if He notes the fall of a sparrow how much more precious are we as children…….

    Thank you for visiting with me and the Potter boys…Betty
