Prayer Scrapbook

As we head into Holy Week, I have one final suggestion for keeping a record of your prayers and your spiritual life. It's rather like the Prayer Journal, but with a twist. Your spiritual journey can become a scrapbook!
Again, there are several ways to do this. You can pick a theme like Holy Week or Easter or an important  Bible story or even a prayer study. Gather poems, pictures, prayers, notes, anything that is meaningful for your journey. Then you simply put it all together like a scrapbook. You will be surprised at how much working on a scrapbook will enrich your prayer life.
Another way to start is to take the Gifts of the Spirit and create a scrapbook page for each Gift. You can also do a page for each letter of the alphabet. Identify a Bible verse or prayer attribute for each letter and then scrapbook a page for that letter.
You might even make a scrapbook with this series of prayer aids. Use your imagination for other ways to use scrapbooking as a prayer aid.
