Satisfied







Deut. 30:14
But the word is very near you. It is in your mouth and in your heart, so that you can do it.

I was not happy with the other spring wreath so I added some greenery. Wow, what a difference!!

Spring Wreath









Matt.20:
26 It shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, 
27 and whoever would be first among you must be your slave, 
28 even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."







So simple!

Fresh Flower Centerpiece












Revelation 12:10-11
10 And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God.
11 And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death.

Fresh flower centerpiece
Fresh flowers(I got mine from Walmart)

New Life to Old Wreath

                                                                                                                     








James 3:17-18
17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.
18 And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.




Spruce up old wreaths by simply adding a new bow!

Bows










James 3:5-8
5 So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great things. How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire!
6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set among our members, staining the whole body, setting on fire the entire course of life, and set on fire by hell.
7 For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by mankind,
8 but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.





Bought a spool of wired ribbon from Hobby Lobby.
Wrap ribbon around a book the size of bow you want.
Remove ribbon from book.
Squeeze ribbon tightly together in the middle and wrap with wire, leaving enough to wire bow to wreath, mailbox etc.
Leave two tails.
Cut a piece of ribbon to wrap the middle of bow.
