“Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that comes from God.”
Through Lent I’m using a Jesus Tree with the kiddos for daily lessons. I haven’t had much to go on except the daily reading and some coloring sheets which some days is enough, but since Lily loves doing crafts I’ve been coming up with those as well to accompany each lesson.

No one is surprised that I’m just getting around to Valentine’s Day I’m sure! I wanted to get this here to help me remember what we did and so I’d know what not to do next year. We made cards for our Grandparents, something I want to do every year, but run out of time and energy and since they’ve already gotten them (I hope!) I can show and tell them.
Cute and easy!

We’re focusing on Love (or at least trying to!) during February. I wanted to share some of the ways we’re doing that.
In addition to commemorating the enigmatic Saint Valentine, I wanted to encourage the kiddos to use the “Valentine’s Day season” as an extra opportunity to show love and kindness to others.
I liked this Valentine’s Day Count Down Chain I used last year and decided to make one this year too. On each of the links is a Bible verse about Love. Also, I added an activity or loving act for the girls to do. I just wrote those next to the verse.

“Now Thomas (also known as Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came.So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.” John 20:24-25
“A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.” John 20:26-27
Here’s a craft I came up with quickly during the first week of Easter. Thankfully the girls are VERY easy to please. Some scissors and glitter and they are happy! I was impressed with how well Lily cutting skills have improved over this year. Clara is more into “mosaics” if you know what I mean…
And a hymn we enjoyed during that week:
