"Study to Shew Thyself" ~ Free Inspirational Art Printable


As many of you are starting a new school year, I thought it would be fun to decorate the school room with a splash of inspiration. Perhaps this little verse with big meaning can keep us focused on our ultimate goal, to raise godly children and teach them the beginning of real wisdom.

"For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world,
and lose his own soul?"
~ Mark 8:36

"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom:
and the knowledge of the holy is understanding."
~ Proverbs 9:10


This printable would be perfect in the school room, office or study.  You can find frames inexpensively in second-hand stores and simply paint them to match your decoration. We printed ours on white card-stock, cut it down to size (leaving some white border as a "matting") and placed it in an 8 by 10 inch frame. To use, simply download from the link HERE and print. Happy homeschooling, ladies!
