This is my family's crest.
Great thread! Thanks!
Thanks for opening the Canteen for us! ((((Sis))))
Here is my families crest.
Of course the family crest can only be handed down to a male descendant and displayed by a male descendant.
Oh this will be fun!
I would only add that anyone who is entitled to wear a derivative of the original family grant of arms is said to be "Armigerous".....hence my Freeper nom de plume
Well, I could tell you about mine, but then I'd have to use my real name. I'll just say that it has a cross, a lion, a crown (or a cat) and the motto: "Ung roy, Ung loy, Ung foy" (although I might've gotten those words in the wrong order). Kinda cool looking. Once upon a time, I'd've liked to have made one of those for a SF convention, but I didn't know where to begin and I wouldn't have been able to put together a costume to go with the shield.

This grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ. —Ephesians 3:8
A story is told of Scottish minister Alexander Whyte, who was able to look at the bleakest situation and yet find something to be thankful for. On a dark Sunday morning when the weather was freezing, wet, and stormy, one of his deacons whispered, “I am sure the preacher won’t be able to thank God for anything on a day like this. It’s absolutely horrible outside!” The pastor began the service by praying, “We thank Thee, O God, that the weather is not always like this.”
The apostle Paul also saw the best in every situation. Consider his circumstances as he wrote to the church in Ephesus while he awaited trial before the Roman emperor Nero. Most people would have concluded that he was a prisoner of Rome. But Paul saw himself as a prisoner of Christ. He thought of his hardship as an opportunity to bring the gospel to the Gentiles.
These words of Paul should challenge us: “To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ” (Ephesians 3:8). Paul, a prisoner of Christ, saw himself as being given the privilege to serve God and present the “riches of Christ” to many.
Whose prisoner are we?
