**** Don't forget to enter my big giveaway in my previous post! ****I know a lot of you are
prayin' people, and love to
support the missionaries from your church, a child through
Compassion Int'l, a ministry, or a
loved one serving far away in the military. Here's an idea of how to
keep those faces in sight to remember to pray for them:
Put a photo in a decorative little medallion. Whether you have a
vase filled with fresh or dried flowers, a simple
pot you can dress up, or a kitchen
canister --
you can make your version of this idea!First, dig through your
paper, ribbons, and memory-keeping goodies. Pull out some supplies that
match the decor in the room and play around with them. I loved this
little oval cardboard medallion thingy - it came on a sheet with a bunch more from the dollar store!

I went with a
wide white ribbon that I layered over a scrapbook paper band. For the band I had to glue two 3" strips together. I simply knotted the ribbon in back:

I cut a
photo of a missionary couple right out of our church bulletin. If you're doing this for your Compassion child or serviceman/woman you probably have a nice color photo
(although personally I love the black and white effect - or black and green in this case!)![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL5sqssQCWQCsA_ersNjuRLh-NNx9uFS9vOsqsqq6cECnT0NVHK7qVy50Lk17dHXSzvJJ3qGTcgusWLAwve8efzsPcWmGqiDHzi1-veJVnSyXDrCBxPN8_Knopak-5UB1Xkdh74R8tAFE/s400/prayer-missionary.jpg)
Right now this vase is holding some
gorgeous fresh flowers my kids picked out for my birthday, but usually it's filled with
seasonal dried something or other. So, I can
change the photo ribbon look seasonally, too!

What a precious idea in reminding us of who are prayer partners are. :)
You are so creative! Love this idea!
Beautiful idea... I LOVE it! Your books just came yesterday, and I was so excited! They are gorgeous! I've already wrapped them for 2 friends' birthdays, but I will save up for one of my own some day! :)
Super idea! A gentle reminder to pray!
As Missionaries with American Missionary Fellowship my DH and I are so aware of the importance of others praying for our ministry.
We especially were aware of those praying during these past few weeks as I have been recovering from a rattlesnake bite which put me into anaphylaxis shock and 10 days in the hospital-
This is such a wonderful idea and I hope many will use this or in nothing else be reminded of the importance and privilege of praying for one another!
