First of all, sorry for the horrible quality of picture that goes with this post....obviously my attention was not on my photography when this was taken! Ha! My attention was on my munchkins...happily involved in their ADVENTURE for today!
Just a heads up if you are wondering if your kids will get excited about this....my kids talked about it a TON today before we finally sat down and did it! They were PUMPED!
Today's Bible verse was Isaiah 40:31...
"but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."
We talked about what it means to "hope in the Lord" and I talked to them about a time that I experienced that type of hope. We talked about how exciting it is waiting for Jesus birthday!
Then I let them open the present for today....all the materials needed to make a paper chain that counted down the days until we celebrate the birth of Jesus. Every day they will rip off one link of the chain and when they are finished - CHRISTMAS WILL BE HERE! An easy and tangible way for children to experience HOPE and anticipation in the birth of Christ!
Tomorrow will be DAY 3...and a new adventure awaits!
