MORE IDEAS FOR NAME PLACES AT YOUR TABLE
I hope you picked up some ideas from yesterday’s post, BLESS YOUR FAMILY. Here are a few more ideas for you today.Four-Liners
Can you think of four rhyming lines? There is something about rhyme that helps your children to remember. You will also remember them and can recite them to your child/children when you are sitting with them or riding in the car. For example:
MEADOW
A beautiful girl who is a delight to the eyes,
From the hand of the Lord she is a special prize!
With her long golden curls and her soft white skin,
She radiates loveliness which comes from within!
Limericks
These will take a little more thought to write, but worth it for a special occasion. I love to write limericks for the children. Your children will keep them as memories.
EVANGELINE
There’s a lady with flowing red hair
Who always makes everyone stare!
She is so outrageous
And even dangerous
This girl with the flowing red hair!
SERENE
A great mother lives in this home
Who brings love and joy and shalom
She shines with glory
As she writes her story
With each precious child in her home.
PEARL
I saw a wonderful and happy sight,
It was like a bird that is taking flight,
A mother skipping,
Her feet a-tripping,
A mother happy and filled with delight!
The Meaning of their Name
ZADOK
Leading many to righteousness!
RASHIDA LA'EL
Pointed in the right direction toward God!
Thank You
Sometimes you may like to write a “Thank You” underneath their name, some character trait for which you are thankful or for something they have done for you, e.g.
MERCY
Thank you for the privilege of being your mother!
JOHN
Thank you for watering my garden every night!
COLIN
Thank you for being my faithful and loving husband!
Trust these examples will be of some inspiration to you in your family. You can use the different ideas on different occasions.
You can write these not only for your family, but for visitors when they come to your home too.
