Bible Verses for Preschoolers {Psalm 9:1}
I teach a preschool Bible class on Sundays and we are memorizing simple verses.
It is so precious to watch my 2 & 3 year olds get excited about learning God’s Word!
I am making little scripture cards to send home each time we learn a new verse.
The cards get laminated, hole-punched, and placed on a binder ring.
{The binder ring goes home with the first card.}
Here is the first one they memorized:
I made a printable with 8 cards, if you would like to memorize with your littles!
You can download it HERE
{Feel free to share, but please link to this post & not to the pdf.}
I plan on making & sharing cards for each verse that we learn.
You can find them all by clicking on the {Printables} tab at the top of the page.
Thinking About Lent
~Sassyfrass & Sweetpea last Easter, taken by my niece~
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!
How does your family make Easter meaningful?
Do you participate in Lent?
According to His great mercy, He has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead…
I grew up in a church culture that did not focus on the Resurrection at Easter. It was all about fancy dresses, egg hunts, and the Easter Bunny.
(I know, I KNOW, it doesn’t make sense to me either. But I didn’t know any different.)
…to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God’s power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
I am so thankful that my children are growing up in the shadow of the cross and the light of the resurrection.
They are learning that Christ is at the center of everything we do.
Though you have not seen Him, you love Him.
When it comes to holidays, like Easter, I do not have religious childhood traditions to pass on to my kids.
We have fun adding new things each year (and it is double the fun since it is new for my parents as well.)
Though you do not now see Him, you believe in Him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
We are not Catholic, and our church does not follow the Liturgical calendar, but I find that there are many things to glean from others.
I am busily browsing resources, trying to map out the coming weeks.
He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was made manifest in the last times for the sake of you who through Him are believers in God…
I would love for my readers to chime in and share.
How do you guide your family to the Cross and celebrate the Resurrection?
Do your family’s traditions reflect your childhood, or are you also walking a new path?
…who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.
And this word is the good news that was preached to you.
I Peter 1:3-5, 8-9, 20-21, 25
My Word of the Year
Last year was my first time to name the year.
It was a perfect fit for 2011.
As the new year rolled around, themes started running through my head.
I once again asked God to show me and He was quick to reply.
S-T-R-E-T-C-H
Oh how appropriate … and oh how uncomfortable!!
The ideas started tumbling in my head.
I want to STRETCH …
… my FAITH
- give Christ His rightful position as ruler of my time
- encourage others with the Word of God
- banish the fears I still carry around after losing a child
… my BLOG
- share more of our daily life
- cheer on homeschooling moms
- build up community
… my FINANCES
- play the Drugstore Game
- start selling at consignment sales
- drag myself out of bed early on Saturdays to hit the garage sales
… my HABITS
- continue our shift towards whole foods
- 30 minutes of exercise 5 days a week
- force myself into an earlier bedtime
… my HOMEMAKING
- scatter scripture throughout our home
- decorate for my family, not for a design mag
- shop my house and re-purpose what we have
… my CREATIVITY
… my COMFORT ZONE
- offer guidance to a group of future homeschoolers
- teach a Couponing 101 class
- promote my husband’s business
I hope that posting this long list will hold me accountable (gulp)!!

Birth of Jesus from Grapevine Studies
Maybe you are a little like me . . . October rolls around and visions of sugar plums begin dancing in your head.
You start planning elaborate Advent countdowns, nightly devotionals, a Symbols of Christmas unit study – anything to make your Christmas meaningful and Christ-centered.
Then December arrives, bringing with it a hustle & bustle of activity.
Carrying out your fancy plans would require you to breathe into a paper bag, and you find yourself yearning for a Simple Christmas.
The Birth of Jesus from Grapevine Studies might be just what you need.
Grapevine Studies makes it easy to walk alongside Mary & Joseph. The lesson plans do not require any prep work other than printing out the pages and gathering a few supplies.
You will need both the student & teacher book. I prefer the ebooks so that I can easily print copies for my kids, but you can also choose a printed books if you prefer.
You can choose the Beginner Level for 5-7 yr olds, or the Multi-Level for the whole family. Click on the purple Sample button under each book cover to decide which one is right for your family.
All of the Birth of Jesus studies are on sale right now!!
If there is another study you have your eye one (maybe for the first of the year?), you can use the code Advent11 to save 20% on any non-sale item purchased by December 31st.
You can read how our family uses Grapevine studies HERE
{I received a free Birth of Jesus e-book to review as a member of the Grapevine Studies Blog Team.}
