Heather in Neverland Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I am going to a baby shower for a close friend next week and the invitation included a pink piece of cardstock and request for us to write a bible verse for the baby to go into a keepsake book. Which would you choose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janie Grace Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I love this one for expectant moms: Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young--a place near your altar, O LORD Almighty, my King and my God. (Ps. 84:3) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kolamum Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Ooo, love both listed but when I think of babies and verses I'm always drawn to: "You are fearfully and wonderfully made.." :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twigs Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Well, I asked Mr. Google and he came up with these: Psalm 127:3 - Children are a gift from the LORD; they are a reward from him. (NLT) Psalm 139:13 - You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. (NLT) Ecclesiastes 11:5 - Just as you cannot understand the path of the wind or the mystery of a tiny baby growing in its mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the activity of God, who does all things. (NLT) Isaiah 44:24 - "This is what the LORD says—your Redeemer, who formed you in the womb: I am the LORD, who has made all things, who alone stretched out the heavens, who spread out the earth by myself ..." (NIV) Jeremiah 1:5 - "I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart ..." (NLT) Matthew 18:10 - "Beware that you don’t look down on any of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels are always in the presence of my heavenly Father." (NLT) Matthew 19:14 - Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." (NIV) Mark 9:36–37 - Then he put a little child among them. Taking the child in his arms, he said to them, "Anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me welcomes not only me but also my Father who sent me." (NLT) Mark 10:16 - Then he took the children in his arms and placed his hands on their heads and blessed them. (NLT) Luke 2:40 - And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him. (NKJV) James 1:17 - Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. (ESV) when you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. ~ Prov. 3:24 from NIV The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace ~ Numbers 6:24-26 from NIV I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made ~ Psalm 139:14 from NIV Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. ~ Mark 10:14 from NIV And the child grew and became strong in spirit ~ Luke 1:80 from NIV Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward. ~ Psalm 127:3 from NKJV Before I was born the LORD called me; from my birth he has made mention of my name. ~ Isaiah 49:1 from NIV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
