Why these eight words
Paul wrote to the church at Philippi from prison, in a letter that keeps coming back to joy. Two verses before this one he tells them not to be anxious about anything and to bring every request to God. Then he gives their minds somewhere to go: eight things to think about.
A list like that is easy to read once and lose. In 2018 we laser-cut each of the eight words as its own piece, so they could stand on a shelf. These cards are the same idea on paper: one word in sight at a time, with the line it comes from underneath it.
