Bringing the Children closer to Jesus

Attending Sunday School once a week just isn't enough. We have to reinforce what they learn and need to know, in our daily living, in prayer, in reading to them, in they way we act, talk and dress, in devotion time, in every choice we make. We are their most important examples of someone who is close to Jesus!


Here is a wonderful website for you to check out. They offer free Biblical resources such as Bible stories, crafts, puzzles, games, recipes, poems, songs, coloring pages and more!

Today's Devotional - Bring Them To Jesus


The Scripture reading from Luke 18 about children seemed unusual at the memorial service for David Holquist. After all, he was 77 when he died.

Yet, the pastor said the verses fit David, a long-time college professor, perfectly. Part of his legacy was that he took time for children - his own and others'. He made balloon animals and puppets, and helped in a puppet ministry at church. When planning worship services with others, he frequently asked, "What about the children?" He was concerned about what would help the children - not just the adults - to worship God.

Luke 18 shows us the concern Jesus had for children. When people brought little ones to Him, the disciples wanted to protect Jesus, a busy man, from the bothersome children. But it seems that Jesus was not at all bothered by them. Just the opposite. The Bible says that Jesus was "greatly displeased" at the disciples, and said, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them" (v16). Mark adds that Jesus took them in His arms and blessed them (10:14-16).

Let's examine our own attitude about children and then follow the example of David Holquist. Find some ways to help them come to Jesus.

Simple and Affordable Fun!


It's almost summer time, but we're still enjoying all that spring brings.
Here are a few ideas for some simple and affordable Springtime fun!



Puddle Jumping - We still have a rainy day here & there are plenty of puddles to be had. The kids see the puddle, a big smile creeps across their faces, they look up at me with hopeful eyes and I nod yes. Oh, the joy! They run, they jump and splash and giggle, with not a worry in the world. It lifts my spirits just to watch!

Bird watching - This is the perfect time to do some bird watching. If
you don't have a bird book, check one out at the library. The kids like for us to take pictures of each new bird that we discover. The regular visitors to our bird feeders are: Blue Jay, Cardinal, Nuthatch, Wren, Grackle, Dove and Robins in our yard. We also have a purple finch that has nested here at our house. We're looking forward to seeing those babies!

Garden Fun - With little cost and effort, you can grow a garden of
your own. We were delighted on a recent trip to the Dollar Tree, where we found flower and veggie seed packets (4 for $1) and supplies like a plastic shovel, watering can, bug catcher and colorful yard pinwheels for $1. My children chose Asters, a wildflower mix and Sunflowers. We'll see if they grow!

Fresh Flowers - Bring Spring In! We like to take leisurely drives
through the country and we've been stopping to pick many beautiful wildflowers for our home. They brighten up every room. My husband picked me a bunch of Buttercups the other day. Gorgeous! My kids now know that by holding a Buttercup under your chin, that the yellow glow means they like butter. They've been testing everyone out!
Another treat was the patch of Lilies of the Valley near our church. I picked a few and my kitchen smelled heavenly for the next week.
Running out of vases? We bought a few decorative plastic cups the other day from Walmart, that were on clearance for $1.50 each. They work great as a vase!

Go Fly a Kite - We found plastic kites at the Dollar Tree as well.
For just a buck, each child could have their own!

windsock, with supplies you may already have laying around.

Today's Devotional

Following Our Example


Alyssa, who is 6 and just learning to read, often saw her parents and grandparents reading their Bibles in the morning. Early one day, she woke up before everyone else. Grandma found her sitting on the couch, with her Bible and a devotional booklet on her lap. She wanted to follow the example of spending time with God at the beginning of the day.
Timothy, a young pastor, faced heavy responsibilities in the church at Ephesus - training believers, leading in worship, countering false doctrine. The older, experienced apostle Paul gave him instruction on leading the church in these areas, but he also mentioned the importance of personal conduct. He said, "Be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity" (1 Tim 4:12).
Paul challenged Timothy: "Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine" (v16). If he paid attention to his own spiritual life and to solid doctrine, he would be a godly example to the church family.
We all have others who are observing us. Even little Alyssa has younger siblings watching her. Let's live our lives in such a way that those who follow our example will help others in their walk with God.
