I took all of the framed photos down from the family wall of photos when we recently had wood floors installed, so now I am in the process of putting up a new photo wall. I decided it is time that the high school graduation pictures be stored away along with all of the framed photos of generations past, family group photos, etc. Now I am left with wedding pictures of my six married children, two married grandchildren, my husband and myself, my parents and my husband's parents, which means eleven 8x10 wedding photos. I also want to display an up-to-date photo of each of my ten grandchildren. So here's my dilemna! Can I successfully arrange twenty one framed portraits on one hall wall and have it look attractive, neat and tastefully arranged? I decided the best thing for me to do is to call my daughter, who loves to decorate, to come and do it for me! It will look beautiful and the family will all love it when they come home to visit. The main objective of all of this is for my husband and I to love it as we pass by the hall many times a day. I am sure I will miss all of the pictures that hung on the hall wall for many years but it is time for a fresh new look! Sometimes I find my spiritual life is the same way as I settle for what I have always done for years, yet I know God wants me to have a fresh start each new day with him. So like the new photo wall, I have decided to freshen up my time with the Lord and add a new dimension to my prayer life. Some things I am pondering are: Begin the day with a song of praise, spend my time thanking and praising God for all he has done and naming them one by one. Meditate on scripture passages and see how it speaks to me. Spend more time in quiet and waiting upon the Lord. Listen to spiritual music as I pray for others. These are just a few ways to change my prayer life and give it a fresh new boost. Have a great week!
