My Mother in Law gave me a book with names, their meanings & a Scripture with each. She encouraged me to paint boards & put this information on the front. An amazing idea! It has been so much fun & the coolest part for me is hearing stories from different moms & dads about how they use these boards in their families. Some use it as a part of their bedtime rituals...they say their prayers & just before they tuck those babies in for the night....they stop by the board on the wall & pray these words with their child. Our daughter's name means "righteous" - which means, in right standing with God. We pray every night that she would grow into her name & be righteous! Our son's name means "gracious" & we pray that for him each night & the neat part there, is that I am learning a lot about what being gracious really means....
Anyway, this is part of what I do & here are some examples of others I have painted. If you are interested in ordering - I have a book that I use & can give you all of that information, I will use whatever colors & design you want (assuming I am capable of painting it :) ).
They are $22 so the perfect price for any baby gift. Actually, my Mother in Law is hanging the boards for all of her grandchildren on a wall.
