Most of these have my favorite verses on them that seemed appropriate to the scene.
I love that 'seeking a country' verse; it's from Hebrews 11:13-16 that says, "These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on earth. For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. But not they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly country; wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He hath prepared for them a city."
