Lucky You - Jesus Loves You!

Well if you love Jesus, it's not luck. It's a gift - free from him for your taking - no questions asked except, "Do you love me?"

Here's a fun St. Patty's craft to do with your kids that incorporates Christ into their hearts in a simple way yet again.

You will need;
Green Paper
Markers
Scissors
Bible - see verse Romans 1:7 "To all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ."

Draw your best 4-Leaf Clover. Have the children cut out the leaf.
Then on the four leaves write;
FATHER
SON
SPIRIT
_______ (Child's Name)

Talk to your children about how they are so "lucky" to have been chosen to be a part of God's plan for the world and that they are forever tied to God, Jesus and the Spirit. And just as it's rare to find a four-leaf clover - they are a rare and special creation of God.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Let Them Talk About God

I am always amazed at how innocently children seem to be connected to God. The words they say not only make us laugh and smile, but there is a truth in them that just isn't the same if it were to come from an adult. Here's some examples;



Princess (Age 6)

"I don't need to pray right now because he already knows what I'm thinking."

"Just because you can't see him doesn't mean he's not there."

Tee (Age 5)

"When I get to heaven, I'm going to play checkers with Jesus."

"Thank you for this beautiful day even though I got a spanking."

"But I thought God made Spring come and now it's snowing again."

The Perfect Valentine

This simple craft shows us that Jesus really is the PERFECT valentine.



You'll need construction paper, scissors, marker, Bible.

Cut out your heart.

Write VALENTINE down the center of the heart.


Refer to John 3:16.


Place the verse along the Valentine for the perfect message of love.


Decorate as desired.

Happy Valentine's Day & may God's love live in your heart always!
