Church Question for a Layout

HI.

I have to give a little back story before I ask my question which is really bothering me that I can't answer myself.

I'm an ordained presbterian elder who was very very involved with her church. To the point that I was considering going into the ministry to become a Minister. Then several things occurred that shook my faith to the basic core of disbelief. I walked away from everthing I believed in to be led down a path that finally forked where I could get back to believing in HIM again. Lots and Lots of hard work.

My favorite Minister gave me the poem "Footprints" and although at the time I thought he was a fool, it was I who was the fool and totally believe that GOD held onto me. With the Birth of Alyssa, Nicole and Sarah (my three nieces), I've become more in tune with my faith although a little different than what I grew up with. I have allowed the different religions to play a part in my life (with the exception of Extremist Muslim).

Now here's the question, as the old me would have known the answer quite well and would have been able to find the perfect passage right away. I'm kind of beating myself up about it.

I have a photo of Sarah that I want to use on a Layout that was taken of her at her Church, she is walking down the aisle with her precious Moo (a dog). See during the service she was trying to sing along with us, although in Baby talk it was precious as can be. At the end of the song she looked up and blew a kiss.

I thought "Jesus Loves Me this I know." would work but it doesn't.

Here's the photo but keep in mind that I've converted it to black and white and cropped it so she is still in the distance and the hallway is still visiable.

I've got the journalling done but I really feel this needs a bible verse. Can anyone help. Thanks.

Don't beat yourself up about it. I wasn't too sure either, but I have a Concordance and looked up child(ren).

How about Matthew 19:14 - "Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven." Or Isaiah 11:6 which is about the lion and the lamb laying down together, but the last part is: "and a little child shall lead them". I think that would be perfect.

Proverbs 8-16

8 My son, listen to your father's advice. Don't turn away from your mother's teaching. 9 What they teach you will be like a beautiful crown on your head 10 Hear, my son, and receive my sayings, And the years of your life will be many. 11 I have taught you in the way of wisdom; I have led you in right paths. 12 When you walk, your steps will not be hindered, And when you run, you will not stumble. 13 Take firm hold of instruction, do not let go; Keep her, for she is your life. 14 Do not enter the path of the wicked, And do not walk in the way of evil. 15 Avoid it, do not travel on it; Turn away from it and pass on. 16 For they do not sleep unless they have done evil;

Or this one:

1 John 3 1-3 1How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 2Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears,[a]we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. 3Everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as he is pure.

Something like 'and a little child shall lead them'.

Getting my bible out to look...

Proverbs 20:11 - Even a child is known by his actions, by whether his conduct is pure and right.

Awwies, this would be perfect for a baby photo - Proverbs 20:12 "Ears that hear and eyes that see - the Lord has made them both."

Pr. 22:6 - Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.

Here you are... Matthew 19:14 - Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.

or if you prefer the longer version of the same, Mark 10:13-16

I want to thank everyone for their help.

I think Whodunit came closest to where my heart was leading. Everyone else was fantastic and I've noted those bible verses for future use.

NIV Deuteronomy 5:33 Stay on the path that the Lord your God has commanded you to follow.

NIV Psalm 25:4 Show me the right path, O Lord;point out the road for me to follow.

Do I win a fruit basket, or gift certificate, or something? ;-) (just kidding, it was fun trying to match a verse to the picture!)
