The completed Scripture Hearts can be used during family discussion and/or while praying with your family year after year.
SCRIPTURE HEARTS
Supplies: Bible(s) and Bible Concordance(s), white, pink and red paper, scissors, pens
1. Cut
Cut hearts out of white paper.
Cut slightly larger hearts out of pink and red paper.
2. Find
Encourage your children to search for and find Bible verses that talk about God’s love, using a Bible concordance. This provides a wonderful opportunity for your children to learn how to use a concordance and how to search the Scriptures for themselves.
3.Write
After finding a Bible verse that talks about God’s love, have your child write the verse he found on a white heart.
4. Repeat
Have your children continue to find and write more Bible verses that talk about God’s love.
5. Glue
Glue each white verse heart onto a larger pink or red heart.
6. Share
Have your children share the verses they wrote on the hearts. Talk about how God’s love is described in each verse.
7. Pray
Pray out loud together. Have each person use the verse on one of their Scripture hearts as a guide as he thanks the Lord for His love.
Ideas!
1. Set the completed hearts down the middle of your kitchen or dining room table as a decoration. Choose one heart to talk about as you enjoy meals together this February.
2. Place one verse heart on each dinner plate on Valentine’s Day. Have each person read the verse on their heart and then use the verse as they pray and thank God for His love.
3. Tape the hearts on various doors in your house. Enjoy reading the verses as you pass by them or use the posted hearts as a reminder to stop and tell God “Thank-You” for His great love.
Keep!
You may want to laminate the completed hearts. Years ago, we laminated the Scripture Hearts our daughters made and I am so glad! These hearts have become a keepsake and we continue to enjoy them year after year.
