And replaced it with the theme for this year!
This hangs as a large poster just off of our kitchen. We love having these words in such a visual place. We’re big believers in using our walls as space for creating an intentional home. And I love a reason to handletter!
We love how this scripture is the theme for the youth of our church this year. A beautiful song centered on this theme is here.
Last summer, I read “A Quiet Heart” by Patricia Holland who shares amazing insights on meekness. I love how she defines meekness as a “quiet strength.” I’ve applied that definition every time I’ve read meekness in the scriptures and it’s truly opened my eyes and mind to this attribute of Christ.
One of my favorite talks from general conference was this one by Elder Bednar and his insights centered around meekness. He shares: "Meekness is a defining attribute of the Redeemer and is distinguished by righteous responsiveness, willing submissiveness, and strong self-restraint." Beautiful.
I'm a visual learner, and I need lots of visual reminders. Because sometimes it's those moments when I'm nagging everyone to do their jobs, or I'm caught in worry over something, that I will see words of truth like these on the wall, and stop for just a moment. Re-center. Re-connect. A little breath of strength. Of gratitude. For the bigger picture, and the opportunity to grow, learn and change.
