What Scriptures Make You Think Of Fall?

It is only three days until the first day of fall. Reread that if you need to. Somehow we have raced through winter, spring and summer of 2022, and now we're headed into sweater weather and bonfire season. It's my favorite time of the year, so I'm ready for it!

When I change the seasonal decorations at the church, I always switch the bulletin board to match. This year my fall board has three Scriptures on it: 

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13
Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Proverbs 3:5
Keep me as the apple of your eye. Psalm 17:8

The third verse was the only one I would have thought of on the theme of fall and autumn. I suppose you could use any Scripture on a leaf or an apple and call it fall-themed, but there are several more I would pick from.

Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. James 5:7

The grass withereth, the flower fadeth, but the word of our God shall stand forever. Isaiah 40:8

To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. Ecclesiastes 3:1

And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap if we faint not. Galatians 6:9

While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. Genesis 8:22

If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them; Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. Leviticus 26:3-4

And now what can you do with these Scriptures? 
* Write them inside a note card.
* Print them off and attach them to the front of a handmade card.
* Use one in your email signature now through November.
* Put them together and turn them into a Sunday school lesson or devotional.
* Paint them onto wood signs and include them in your fall home decor.
* Copy them onto tags or bookmarks.
* Turn a small notebook into a junk journal featuring your verses.

What would you add to these two lists, both the Scriptures and the creative ways to use them?

Holland Creme - That Amazing White Stuff In Donuts

Image
I remember going to the grocery store every Saturday morning when I was growing up, and my favorite place in the entire store was the donut case. All the glazed, powdered and filled baked goods drew me like a magnet. My favorites, far and away, were the ones filled with that beautiful white, fluffy creme. At the time I didn't know it was called Holland Creme - I just knew it was the most amazing concoction ever. Ever. Here is my version of this sweet treat. You can make your own fried donuts and fill them, or like I did here, you can cut a crevice into store-bought donuts with a knife and fill them with creme in a piping bag. Either way, you're going to love it. Ingredients: 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup water 1 cup vegetable oil 1 cup shortening 1 cup butter 1 Tbsp vanilla 7 cups powdered sugar 1. Make a simple syrup by combining sugar and water in a sauce pan over medium heat until boiling, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool complet

Recovering An Old Card Table And Making It Usable Again

Image
This card table recover project has been on my to-do list for months. I've been using it as my workspace in the craft room for quite some time, and it sees a lot of abuse. Here it is now, with a neutral cover on it so I can take better pictures for my tutorials. There were dents and dings in the old blue covering from metal tools. And yes, I've used my embossing heat tool on it several times, leaving pretty good scars. The padding underneath the blue cover also made it difficult to keep paper crafts flat when adhering them together, so it was time for something new. That's where a simple vinyl tablecloth comes in handy. The process to recover the table is pretty simple, but I learned a couple of lessons the hard way. I share them with you now. First, don't do this on any surface but a carpet. I tried it on the deck int he sunshine to get better pictures, but all it did was tear up the cover. Second, get a second pair of hands to help you kee

Crafts For Teen Girls To Make

Image
In our teen girls Bible study, we're studying our way through the Proverbs 31 woman and it's been such a blessing to me, as I hope it's been to them. Every month we spend an afternoon or an evening together studying Scripture, making something amazing in the kitchen and creating something that corresponds to the verse we're in. Choosing the crafts each time can be a challenge for several reasons. It needs to be something they can completely finish (or do most of) because once they leave they're probably not going to work on it themselves - that's just the nature of teenagers. Remember? It also needs to be a project that keeps they're attention, is age-appropriate and is cool enough that they'll want to keep it or give it to someone special. But hey, no pressure on the Bible study leader, right? Here are just a few of the projects we've done together in the year we've been meeting. * This month's craft will be the adorable cross stit
