Verses

Before we put in our flooring, we wrote Bible verses on the subfloor. Some rooms had one, some had two, some even had three.

We wanted our home to be firmly founded on God’s Word, and this was a literal approach.

Starting with the girls room, here are the verses we used:

Girls’ doorway:

“. . .And may our daughters be like corner pillars, cut for the structure of a palace.”

Psalm 144:12b

Girls’ dormer:

“She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue”

Proverbs 31:26

Girls’ bathroom:

“Likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel with modesty and self-control. . .”

1 Timothy 2:9a

Boys’ doorway:

“May our sons in their youth be like plants full-grown. . .”

Psalm 144:12a

Boys’ room:

“For I know the plans I have for you declares the LORD. . .”
