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!
It had been a long day, and Nathan and I were getting ready for bed when I cocked my head
As I sat waiting for a child to bring his dessert for our our date time, I noticed an old Bible study notebook on the shelf and started flipping through it. The first section, labeled “My God Is…,” had passages I had copied from the first ten Psalms related to truths about who God is, what He does, and what He expects of us.

Our visit was short—only a few hours. I didn’t know much about her background, interests, or family—only that they had escaped from religious persecution in their home country and were seeking asylum in America. Unfortunately we didn’t meet until right before they moved away from our state, and with our busy lives—hers and mine—there was little hope of building a deeper relationship long-distance. But in that short few hours talking with this mom, I felt that I had found a friend: someone whose culture, mother tongue, and life experiences were vastly different from my own, but whose heart, like mine, was to serve the Lord and care for her family as best as she could.
What they are not known for is being easy to prepare. Many days I would spend at least 10-15 minutes first laboriously chopping the ends off garlic cloves and smashing them to loosen the skin for my kids to help me peel before slicing or mincing, then peeling and chopping a section of ginger, and then crying while peeling and chopping an onion. Now I can get just as good results in about 5 minutes, without the tears. My secret?
And when we work with and for God, He records each service for Him just like He did for the heads of the tribes back in Numbers. Not a single spoon or goat kid missed his notice, not even when it was given day after day after day. Whatever offering you are making the Lord today, He is recording it completely, separately, and in detail—and when someday He reviews your service, He won’t skim the repetitive parts.
