From the day I posted my first pictures of the Hymn Cards I made for our baby's nursery, I have been asked (and begged) to sell these Hymn Cards and finally starting today they are available!
This first collection comes with twelve hymns and are all my personal favorites. Of course, as soon as I say that I can think of twelve more personal favorites. And reading over the list you will probably wonder why I didn't include some of your favorites. I guess I had to start somewhere. There are some good, solid lyrics in these songs, promises to live by. I hope they bring encouragement and hope to your family as they have mine.
I have my set of Hymn Cards on a little easel on the table next to my glider rocker. I can sit and rock my kids while looking right at the words of a beloved song, singing all four verses as my babies drift to sleep.
The coolest thing about singing these truths and promises to my kids is that God ends up singing these songs to me. The words are for me, too. And my heart is calmed, my trust is back in Jesus and I sleep as soundly as my babies.
For ten dollars, you can download a PDF of all twelve hymns to print on your own. For twenty dollars I will print the hymns on card stock and send them right to your door.
I’m excited about having these cards in homes all over, excited to imagine all of us singing these songs, remembering these promises. You might put them on the sill of your kitchen window to sing while doing the dishes. You might put them on the counter in your bathroom to sing as you blow dry your hair. You might put them on your desk next to your Bible for your devotional time. You might put them in your kid’s room, ready for bedtime prayers. You might give them as a gift for Christmas. I hope you are blessed by them. And I hope the promises take root in your heart once again.

Oops - I perhaps left my comment on the wrong page. Anyhoo, can't wait to see these cards; just made an order! Excited!
I can't even tell you how excited I am about this!! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Just placed my order!
Very cool, Becca! (You should extend the audience...open an etsy site!) A note re: what you wrote about the inspiration coming from working in the nursing home and I'd love to hear back from you on this...but after working in this environment for five years now I often wonder what our generation's "collective memory" will be when we are in senior care. The "greatest generation" has events (WWII, Depression, etc) and songs (hundreds) and mainstays from church (hymns and liturgy) that bind them together and are easily recalled despite even, in some cases, severe memory loss. However, what does our generation have? What binds us together? Worship styles vary from block to block. Will they have entire bands to come in and lead worship? And even if we have the standard hymns stored in our hearts will there be some young person who has learned them to sing them back to us? I sure hope so! I guess this is to say that even at this young age I'm worried about what senior care will be when its our time. Anyway....just something that I think about a lot. I hope there are a whole bunch of moms out there singing the faith to their kids and that God's Word takes root so that at least they'll be able to tell the old, old story.
I vividly remember listening to my Grandma Beulah clearly singing every word to "As The Green Blade Rises" even though she couldn't tell you if she'd eaten that day or not and couldn't read because of her cataracts. I'd never heard the hymn before, I've never sung it since and I didn't sing it that Sunday either. I just listened to her and wept.
