Salt: From the hymnbook

Today is the fortnightly launch of the Salt challenge. This time it was Lythan's choice and she said:

'Thank you for all the ways you have sung out that "Jesus is Lord". It is so inspiring to see the diversity of ways we can praise through our creativity.
And I (Lythan) would like you to carry on singing through this week's challenge

From the hymnbook

take your inspiration from a hymn or song that means a lot for your faith, Old hymn, new song, overtly Christian or kind of hidden, God speaks to us in music in all sorts of ways.

I can't wait to see your response!'

Please take a look at Salt

There are many hymns and songs, both old and new,that sprang to mind when Lythan told us the topic for this challenge. In the end I decided for my contribution to make myself a prayer journal that I (hopefully) will put to good use (this means that for a change I can keep what I've crafted). I've based it on the hymn 'What a friend we have in Jesus'.

  1. I love the scrummy colours of this journal and I hope that you will have as much pleasure from filling it up as from making it!

  2. Beautiful journal Hazel. Nice to have something to distract you from all the decorating and finishing problems - why is there always one little thing that doesn't get done! We hear that our plasterer is finally coming to see what to do tonight and starting next week - this job started in August!

  8. Oh Hazel - this is fab. The journal is gorgeous with all those ribbons and papers in rich colours. When you use it as a record of prayer, you will be amazed at how much is answered!
