God's Love

God's love for us is all of the things listed in the chapter from 1 Corinthians that I have used for the colouring page this week.

This is an amazing list and teaches us how we should try to love too. Are you always patient and kind with those you love? Do you make sure you keep no record of wrongs?

This is a real challenge for us and we cannot do it alone.

Help along the way

God has offered us help to get through our lives. He showed this love through Jesus, His Son, and He sent the Holy Spirit to guide and fill us each day.

This is how we love properly. Not in our own power but in God's.

Symbols of love

Hearts

One very familiar symbol of love is the heart 💖 and there are loads of fun ways to create them.

We drew hearts and the word LOVE with white candles on white card.

Then someone else painted over the images. They appear because the wax doesn't absorb the paint.

Have you ever made a row of paper people? You can do this with hearts too. Concertina fold a strip of paper and then draw on a heart shape, making sure it overlaps the edges. Cut it out and when you open it up you should have a row of hearts to decorate.

Enjoy printing and colouring the page at the top of the blog, or create your own page, full of hearts and colour them in.

The Cross

The cross a symbol of God's love because it is where Jesus died and the reason that we can be close to God again.

Jesus took away our sins by dying on the cross and that means it doesn't get between us and God.

You could make a cross using two twigs and some string to join them in the cross shape. Or draw and colour, or cut out and decorate.

The cross was an ugly thing made beautiful because of what it means. You can take a simple piece of card and make a beautiful cross.

It could be fun to head out and see if you can see any cross shapes in the world around you. Maybe in church windows or just in shapes you see.

God bless you all and help you to love in the best way, remembering that He loved us first.

Praise today

What is Praise? The Oxford dictionary tell us that praise is expressing approval for someone or something or showing respect and gratitude, particularly towards God. Other words that can mean the same (synonyms) are worship, glory, exalt, honour. We tell children 'well done' when we are pleased with them. We praise God because of who He is and what He has done. How do we praise? We use songs and hymns in church to help us praise. Whilst we aren't at church there are loads of resources online, particularly YouTube. 🎜🎜🎝🎜🎜 These songs are good to remind us of all the amazing things God has done and who He is. King of Kings, Faithful One, Almighty, Saviour, and so many other names. Many people find this the easiest way to express these ideas. But we don't have to sing to praise! Maybe you are artistic and creative. The Garden of Eden Rainbow in the garden The first picture was made at church in our Sunday school, Sunday Jam, and is a picture of the Garden of Ed...

Old Testament Fun

Old Testament Activity The Bible is divided into two big parts, the Old and New Testaments. These are then divided into books. Old Testament Activity Ideas There are some very strange names in the Old Testament, including some of the titles of the books. Which is the most normal to you and which the most peculiar? That might be different for someone from a different country. I hope you have fun with the activities.

Choose Your Words Carefully Have you ever been upset by something someone has said to you. Or maybe it was the way it was said that hurt you. Remember that as you speak to others. Choose words that are caring and be careful to not be mean. Because, if kind words are sweet like honey, mean words are like thorns. They dig in and hurt when you say them, and they keep hurting for sometime afterwards too. Kind words So what would be kind things to say? Complements about something someone has done, made or said. Or grown, baked, drawn, mended . . . the list could go on forever Or that you like something they are wearing. This can be hard and against our natural inclination. I see people wearing something cool but I'm not brave enough to say, which is a shame because I feel good when someone says something to me. 👕 👠 👟 👖 👗 It could be caring words asking how someone is or offering help when it is needed.
