Hello everyone! Well it looks like the technology powers that be are going to let me post my November scripture writing plan this month 🙂

I did post the October one on my Facebook page for this blog so those who follow me there were able to access it there.

I’m sure thankful to be able to get this month’s on my blog this time though!

These past few months have been really hard for me and I thank those of you who kept us in your prayers after seeing my Facebook posts on my personal page.  I appreciate that more than you know.

It’s off topic for this post, so to keep things short, my brother in law passed away on August 22nd and I am the next of kin.  Just not close enough for the VA apparently.  He was the last of his family line and he had elected me as his emergency contact and his health care power of attorney.  I fought for two months to get the VA to get him buried.  We finally were able to inter him at a national cemetery last week with full military honors.  I had to jump through so many hoops and make what feels like a million phone calls to get to that point.  It’s shameful the way our veterans get treated at times!

Also as many of you know who have followed me for long enough, my son is autistic (he’s 23) and we lost his daddy 7 years ago.  So it’s just me.  Normally my son is very sweet and obedient for the most part.  These past few months something has changed and I don’t know what, but he’s been more than a handful and it’s very difficult at times on my own.  I’d appreciate your prayers for that for sure!

Ok, back to our topic.  I try to keep Thankfulness as our theme for our scripture writing plan every November.  You don’t have to live in the States and celebrate Thanksgiving to benefit from having a thankful heart and giving thanks to our Lord.  I think it’s a wise thing to be reminded every year to focus on what the Word of God says about thankfulness!

I’d love to hear back from you about what you’ve learned or what God has shown you about that this month!

I’m so thankful that so many of you are enjoying and spiritually benefiting from these monthly scripture writing plans! I love putting them together for you knowing that you find them useful and uplifting! Use these passages to write out the scriptures and grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! Click on the image below to pull up the full-sized PDF file for printing –>

I usually print these out on 28 pound white paper (or 32 pound paper is even better) and just stick them right into my planner or journal. The heavier the paper, the less chance it will tear out of your binder or planner by accident and helps resist bleeding or ghosting from your pens or markers. It helps the page turn easier too.

For planner stickers, etc:  If you choose to print these out on full-size (letter) sticker paper,  I use these here. They’re priced great and you can write on them easily. They are good enough quality for my needs. If you want a top-quality sticker paper look for these or clear vinyl ones here. (Though not all pens or markers will write well on the clear ones). If you don’t want to use sticker paper, you can print them on card stock or regular printer paper and glue them down. Honestly, the sticker paper is the most economical  way, however for everyday planning stickers. Regardless of the type.

Going through a lot of ink printing out planner stickers? Do like I did and enlist in the HP Instant Ink program! I’ve saved so much money on ink since I did several years ago. They have different plans, but the one I’m in is the plan that lets me print up to 300 pages worth of ink for just over $11 per month. That’s regardless of the amount of ink on the page.  I love printing out pictures on photo paper.  I fit 4 4×6-inch photos on one sheet of photo paper.  Imagine the amount of photos you can print at four pages per one page and the cost is the same for a full page of photo ink as it is for one dot.  It goes by the page, not the amount of ink!  You can choose lesser pages for a lower rate, but I do a lot of printing between coupons, planner stickers and other things.
