Bibs for the elderly

This year our Guild decided to make bibs as an outreach project for the care centres looking after the elderly.  We bought hand towels, cut out the neck an opened up one shoulder.


I then embroidered them with verses from the Bible as my husband, Trevor suggested. 


Below are the 4 verses quoted from The Amplified Bible:

Philippians 3:14  I press on toward the goal to win the (supreme and heavenly) prize to which God in Jesus Christ is calling us upward.



Philippians 4:4  Rejoice in the Lord always (delight, gladden yourselves in Him);  again I say, Rejoice!



Jeremiah 29:11  For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome.



Isaiah 40:31  But those who wait for the Lord (who expect, look for, and hope in Him) shall change and renew their strength and power;  they shall lift their wings and mount up (close to God) as eagles (mount up to the sun);  they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint or become tired.
