Fruit Inspection

We started building our house in 2004. At the time I told Jeremy that when we were in framing stage I wanted to go over and write scriptures on the walls. But soon after construction began I got pregnant with Emery. And soon after that, within minutes I think, my “all day morning sickness” began. And soon after that, we got a contract on our house that we were living in. And soon after that, between puking and taking care of a 2 year old, I started packing boxes.

Needless to say, I missed the framing stage.

Now our house is down to the studs once again. I was determined not to miss out on my second chance to cover the walls of our house with God’s word. So a few days ago, I asked the kids, “Who wants to write on the walls?” They looked at me like an alien must have invaded their mother’s body.

Then I explained what we were going to do. We all wrote down some of our favorite verses and headed over to the house.

We are memorizing Ephesians 6 this year for school, so Emery chose to write the first verse in his bedroom closet. “Children obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right”.

Savannah picked 2 verses for her room. One was the first verse she ever memorized, Phil 4:4, “Rejoice in the Lord always; I will say it again, Rejoice!” And also 2 Peter 3:14 “So try your best to be found pure and without blame”.

I don’t know how many I ended up writing down, but I do know that I wrote at least one verse in every room. It gives me great peace knowing that we will now be living within the walls that are covered in Truth!
