Unique Bible Verses to include in your Christmas Cards

We got our Christmas Cards in the mail this week and now we are working on getting them addressed to friends & family and back in the mail! It is tradition to get a card out every year (and you know how I feel about traditions!!) so I don’t mind all the stuffing, addressing, and stamping!

This year we got our cards at Parabo Press. I picked the Joyful card because although this year has been one for the books, Joy has been abundant in our home and hearts. I also wanted to add a verse this year to go with our card. Since the design I feel in love with didn’t offer the option to add a textbox, I used the Foil Border Square Prints to add a verse to each card! I love how they turned out and came together!

I love looking back on our cards and seeing our family grow – pregnant last year, tiny baby Hilde, and the years of no kids! This year I’ve somehow wrangled my girls to not only be in our family photo but also these ones!! When I see both the photo we chose for our cards and these photos that I’m uploading to this post, I just see JOY! And the verse we picked to pair with our cards this year also speaks of that joy. 2020 has been a hard year but it has not be void of hope. In chaos, pandemics, political division, the God of hope can fill us with ALL Joy and Peace so that we may abound in Hope! Romans 15:13 may not be a traditional Christmas verse, but it doesn’t mean that it isn’t super fitting and timely!

I wanted to share with you some other ideas for unique but powerful verses to add to your Christmas Cards this year!
