Isaiah 61:10
"A famous acrostic was made for the acclamation JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S SON, SAVIOUR (Greek: Ιησούς Χριστός, Θεού Υιός, Σωτήρ; Iesous CHristos, THeou Yios, Soter). The initials spell ICHTHYS (ΙΧΘΥΣ), Greek for fish – hence the frequent use of the fish as a symbol for Jesus Christ from the early days of Christianity to the present time."
The above quote is taken from the acrostic website. You can put in your name and you might find your name in a verse. If you can't or even if you do find your name, why don't you try and find a set of verses you do on your own. Try your favourite verses, verses that hold a special truth for you. It's a great way to memorise them and by inserting your name throughout, it brings home the message to you in a personal way.
I did it here to show you, and think it's a great idea for wallpaper for your computer. Pick a favourite photo and use any program - photoshop, powerpoint, paint and put the verse on it.
If that isn't your thing, what about cross-stitch, calligraphy or try and think how you could incorporate it into your hobby. I think it could be a fun project to do with your child no matter the age - they could paint a background picture and you put the writing on it, while sharing with them the truth in a personal way.
You can even pick your friend's name and make a bookmark or whatever your hobby is, it is a fun thoughtful gift as well as a good way to reach out to non christian friends - just think more carefully what verse you would use if you do that.
Have fun and don't stop at one set of verses, or do different backgrounds. So what verses did you pick that mean something to you?
