HI Moms! I'd like to stencil a saying or a Bible verse on my dining room wall. I'm thinking about something related to family, family meals, or family and friends. It is a casual room that's just off the kitchen and family room. I'd love your suggestions! Thanks!
Wow! You all are so great! Thank you for all of your suggestions! I've read them all. I'm also going to check out the websites that were suggested and get with my husband to decided on just the right words. Thanks again!
"Thou preparest a table before me"
Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it. - Hebrews 13:2
He has brought me to his banquet hall, and his banner over me is love. - Song of Solomon 2:4
Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, its about learning to dance in the rain.
One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.
-Virginia Woolf
I have a wall hanging that says, "In Our Home Let Love Abide, And Bless All Those Who Step Inside". I love it! :) (I bought it at a gift shop but ive seen them at Hobby Lobby).
As for me and my house we will serve the Lord. You can order it through Amazon for like $6.

Life is not measured in the number of breaths we take
but the moments that take our breath away.
While we are teaching our children all about life,
our children are teaching us what life is all about.
At our table...
life, dreams, and memories abound.

Home is where the heart is!
I am about to do the same near my dining room where there is a space just under the second floor. Not sure what I am going to say yet. Something like: "Lord bless all who enter here." I have some pretty crosses to put beside it.
I think LovingLife mama has the perfect suggestion!
Blessings.....
Good food, good friends, great times!
Bless this home with love and laughter.
Home is where your story begins.
A house is built with boards and beams..a home is built with love & dreams.
Love Lisa C's suggestions...
There are lots of websites online that do decals, and they often have suggestions... but one really nice site I found, that has LOTS of suggestions broken down into categories, is www.wordsanywhere.com. You might also get some good ideas for the layout of your stenciling... they have nice designs...
I wanted to offer a different perspective and found this:

I am sure anything you stencil will be beautiful.
Live Well, Laugh Often, Love Much...
Can I just say that I am a huge fan of wall decor/stencils. I have one in my hallway where my pictures hang, it says " because every picture has a story to tell" it's great. Anyways, I think you have some good suggestions. And I love the idea of doing a quote from the bible in your dining room. I can think of one of the top of my head that goes something like " bless us O'lord for these gifts, that we are about to recieve.." Or " live well, laugh often, love much"( I have that one in our family room)
Love and Food live here!
Don't underestimate the power of a good meal
We share our bread, we share our love
Cook on duty
Welcome to our family restaurant
Please, have a seat and share the love
Come hungry, leave happy
Love and food, life is good! (I just made this up!)
"Families are Forever"
If you like the food, kiss the cook.
If you look for the good, or bad, in your fellow man, you will surely find it. (Abe Lincoln)
Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long upon the earth.
"Whatsoever you do unto the least of these, my brethern, ye do unto me." Matthew 25:40 (The "me" is Christ.)
I know not what course others may take, but me and my house shall serve the Lord.
Christ is always a welcome guest in our happy home.
What a nice idea. Good luck to you and yours.
