Do not condemn me for my inability to backspace and delete the missing n in condemn. I have felt the need, since I wrote it two years ago, to sand the board, repaint and rewrite the final two lines. However, I find the lesson in this ... just as the Amish, when making a quilt, purposely turn one of their quilt blocks upside down to represent their humility and being mortal, ... I look at my missing n as the same lesson for me. It reminds me of humility and that I am mortal. I need to use the atonement to overcome my mistakes and repent.I should not condemn myself because of my shortcomings.
The final week of our Savior shown in the pictures below. The nests of eggs in the hurricanes represent the
true meaning of Easter - new life!
A gift, given by a loving Father in Heaven
through His Son Jesus Christ,
who made the ultimate sacrifice for EACH of us.
I live for the Savior, alive who was dead.
By His loving favor our guilt can be shed.
Oh, please believe with me,
Believe His sweet plan.
Our Savior, more than man.
By His loving favor our guilt can be shed.
Oh, please believe with me,
Believe His sweet plan.
Our Savior, more than man.

Very, very nice. I love all your mantels. Not only are they artsy, but they are meaningful.
Quite honestly I had to read the last 2 lines 5 times and the word condemn 5 times before I even realized what you were talking about.
You are so creative, Steph. It all looks great and I look forward to seeing what you do each month.
Love you all.
