Jesus Tree Lessons I
Sunday, February 24th, 2013
“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.
Ash Wednesday
Wednesday, February 13th, 2013
Sick has come to visit us again. He just likes me I guess. So in addition to getting ready for Lent, marking Ash Wednesday in our home and preparing for St. Valentine’s day I’ve been walking around pouting. Frustrated that I can’t seem to get healthy and whining about my achy body, drippy nose and pressure cooker head.
But for my memory I wanted to jot down what I did manage to get done today for Ash Wednesday. We were planning on attending a prayer breakfast and our evening service, but feeling as I do, I should NOT be around anyone, so those plans were out. However I did get some things out on our liturgical table, talk to the babies about what Lent is and make a Lenty supper.
Getting Ready for Lent
Tuesday, February 12th, 2013
We’re not good at giving things up for Lent here. I’m not opposed to it, I just never get around to figuring out what it should be that I give up and truthfully my daily crosses are enough sometimes! So instead of giving up, we will take up something for Lent. This year I’d like to memorize Psalm 51. It’s not a long chapter and since some of it is a part of our church liturgy, I’m already familiar with it.
(And don’t go thinking I’ve already put our Lenten items out on the table…this is from last year! I’ll get to it.)
