Earlier in the year, Jordan and I (well, it was mostly Jordan) refinished an old table that used to belong to my Grandma Forchuk. This weekend we took on another project, although this one was a lot less labor intensive...
When we had gone to visit my Grandma Miller in April, she gave me an old picture frame that had a small fragment of a Roman coin, called a mite, in it. Beside the coin was the scripture reference to Mark 12:41-44, which is the story of the old widow who gave all she had, a single mite. I really like the story of the Widow’s Mite, it shows if we put all of out trust in God - he will take care of us. But besides that, it is really cool to have a piece of ancient Roman coin that is over 2,000 years old! So Jordan and I knew we needed to show this off so we took it out of the old picture frame that it used to be in and we got a shadow box and some card stock and viola! a really pretty home for a really cool gift from my Grandma!
Before and after!
