Looking for a free lesson plan to teach your children Sunday School at home during the Coronavirus lockdown–without the take-home papers and cotton ball clouds? Last week I put together a lesson for my own children that includes a variety of short activities including hymn study, Bible geography, Bible drill, Bible story narration, and a handcraft. Lord willing, there will eventually be a series of at least three lessons covering the anointing of Jesus by Mary, the triumphal entry, and the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ. Fill out the form below to receive your free download of the first lesson right now, announcements of further lessons as they become available, and occasional updates from Love in the Small Things. Thanks for dropping by . . . take a look around if you have time, and I hope you come again soon!
I know that I do often enjoy being a mom. But I wish that joy was more open, unashamed, and expressive. I wish that I didn’t feel awkward talking about how full my heart is with nine children, fearful that it sounds hypocritical when I know I so often complain about how full my hands are. But really, “how rich I am, how truly, how wondrously blessed!”
Are you serious about taking the next step in your walk with God and looking for tools that will help you grow? It can be overwhelming to see all the options on Amazon or Christian book websites, especially when you know that so much that’s available today is just fluff.
Hungry? Get a snack. Thirsty? Grab a drink. Weary-souled? Just keep dragging on. Right?
What if there was something you could do to refresh your soul, even if you had no time for a massage, no money for a vacation, and no one to watch the kids?
Do the hymns you sing at church seem like just a formal routine that you get through at the beginning of each service while trying to manage little ones hanging on you and flipping through hymnals they can’t yet read? Do the lyrics pass under your glance and roll off your tongue without really doing anything for your soul?
Or do these great songs of the faith express the struggles and desires of your heart? Are they so much a part of you that you sing them at home as you go about your busy mom days?
For those who’ve read my post on “Practicing His Presence” and are interested in reading the book, I wanted to
Sometime this spring, I read the verse “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee” – Isa. 26:3
“I want that perfect peace!” I thought. But how could I remember to keep my mind on God?
I wrote the verse at the top of my planner pages for several weeks in a row and tried to pray more often throughout the day—but felt very unsuccessful. I really couldn’t figure out how to consistently think about God when my days were filled with constant responsibilities and distractions.
