Scripture Picture Book – Matthew 27:27-54

Would you like a creative way to reflect on part of the Easter story found in Matthew 27:27-54 with your children?

If so, I highly recommend creating a Scripture Picture Book together!

A little family history will help to explain why. Years ago, our daughters, Melissa (3), Kristen (5) and Melanie (6), were on the floor having fun drawing and coloring pictures. Pictures to represent the story of Jesus’ birth from Luke chapter 2. These pictures were being drawn on a large and long piece of paper.

I soon realized that their artistry was precious and worth keeping, yet, the paper was large, and folding it up and trying to store it year after year was not very practical. So I decided to encourage them to draw pictures again, this time on individual pieces of 8 1/2” x 11” cardstock. Taping the completed pages together into a long strip made it easy to fold up the story book like an accordion and then read together.

What I did not realize was that this was the beginning of creating Scripture Picture Books in our home!! Scripture Picture Books that we would continue to make and enjoy for years to come.

We found these books to be a simple yet powerful way to think about, talk about, study and enjoy God’s Word together. We also found that as we read our Scripture Picture Books over and over again, often during Bible Time, our daughters began to memorize the Bible passages without even trying!

We now have a little library of precious and varied Scripture Picture Books that were created over a span of years. It is still fun to look at the books together, savor God’s Word and share memories the Scripture Picture Books bring to mind.

It is a joy to share the idea of Scripture Picture Books with you! I hope you too will be blessed this Easter and in the years to come by creating and using Scripture Picture Books with your children.

Christmas Tree Verses

Looking for a new way to decorate your Christmas tree this year? Decorate it with the truth of Scripture!

1. BIBLE VERSE CARDS

Find and read Bible verses together that relate to the Christmas story from both the Old Testament and the New Testament. Write the Bible verses on little cards. (Older children can write the verses on the cards, younger children can decorate the back of the cards.)

2. HANG ON YOUR TREE

Punch a hole at the top of each card, add a bow and a Christmas tree ornament hook or a loop of ribbon or string, and hang the cards on your Christmas tree!

The following download offers Bible verse suggestions. The pages are ready for you to print, and cut into small Scripture cards.

Idea!

When you gather to read, write and decorate the verse cards with your children, enjoy a cup of something warm to sip on and some quiet background Christmas music.

Idea!

After hanging the cards on your tree, take turns each day reading and talking about a few selected Bible verses found on your tree. Thank God for the truths found in the verses read.

Idea!

Looking for another way to enjoy these Scripture cards? They can also be displayed on your walls, windows, mirrors or doors.

Idea!

Date your completed cards. Laminate them. When Christmas is over, store the cards with your other Christmas decorations so you can continue to enjoy the verses next year!

Scripture Picture Book – Luke 2:1-14

Would you like a creative way to enjoy the Christmas story found in Luke 2:1-14 with your children this December?

If so, I highly recommend creating a Scripture Picture Book together!

It is still fun to look at the books together, savor God’s Word and share memories the Scripture Picture Books bring to mind. And many Christmas’s in our home have included the reading of Luke 2:1-14 using at least one if not more, Scripture Picture Books created years ago. And this Christmas will be no exception!

It is a joy to share the idea of Scripture Picture Books with you! I hope you too will be blessed this Christmas and in the years to come by creating and using Scripture Picture Books with your children.
