Pink plastic hearts in the Target $1.00 bin were purchased with the intention of filling them with delectable candy for my three “Corners” (writer’s group). Or so I thought.
In a flash, I recalled the whiteboard in our Psalm 119 study. As a group, we’d listed on the board those things which we know to be true about the Word. I contributed “edible.” Strange, I know, but true according to Jeremiah 15:16:
When your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart's delight, for I bear your name, O LORD God Almighty.
I could choose to fill their stomachs for a moment—or feed their souls for an eternity.
Seven scripture verses on God’s love were chosen, typed, printed in red ink, cut, and carefully folded.
Each day for a week, a delectable verse will slip from their pink plastic hearts and be ushered directly to their heart, where it will shift into action to accomplish its mighty purpose in their lives.
How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
Psalm 119:103

Thank you, Susan. Nothing satisfies like the Word, does it? :)

You are such a blessing!

Thanks so much, Mary Joy! I appreciate your stopping by. :)
Awww. What a sweet idea! ;) I hope there are some left at Target because I would love to write love notes to my kids!
You're such a thoughtful friend, Cathy. :-)
Thanks Mary and Vonda. I picked these up at the Target on Fairview Road last week. Hope you find them on your side of town.
Cathy, that's lovely! The recipients will be touched, I'm sure, by both the generosity and creativity, AND the scriptures.
Great suggestion! I may borrow it for my family.
How neat is this novel idea, Cathy! Love it, and definitely inspired!
Mind if I use it for my Bible Study Women's group? <3 it, much more satisfying than a candy heart:)
Sheri, I would be delighted for you to use this idea in any way you see fit. :) God bless!
