A Time to Rejoice & Remember:                Advent, December 14th

12/14/2016

0 Comments

 
     We invite you and your family to join us for advent this season, as we consider Christmas through the lens of Scripture. As we celebrate the birth of the Christchild, we will look as a different aspect of his coming each day. Each day also has a downloadable coloring picture for children to color as they listen, and then hang on the tree as a reminder! We also suggest a song to listen to, play, or sing along with. Most of these can be found in a hymnal to play at home, or on youtube.com - to sing along with! Children old enough to read might enjoy reading the Scripture as well. We hope this simple journey through Scripture helps you celebrate the Greatest Gift of all. 

Ornament: The Lion & the Lamb - (Reminds us of Peace)
Scripture Reading: Isaiah 11:6-10
Songs:
Joy to the World, Peace like a River, I’ve Got the Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy….

     What do you see on this ornament? (Lion and lamb) Do they seem to be happy together? (yes)  Is the lion hurting the lamb?  Does the lamb look scared, like it is running away? (No) Is that what happens in the world today if a lion gets close to a lamb? (No!) 

     Do you remember when we first talked about God’s creation, we said the world was perfect before sin came into the garden? When God first made the earth, the animals lived together peacefully. There was no fighting, or death, before sin.

     Well, one day, our world will be like that again. God will restore peace to the world. There will be no hunger or fear. Lions, lambs, wolves, rabbits, and even people will all live in peace.  There won’t be any crime or sin or death. God will make all the creatures get along.

     You see, God still has a plan! Jesus is coming again, to reign over creation. In that peaceful world, all of God’s children will get along. There will be no more war and no more pain. What a wonderful place that will be for everybody! Until then, we should be peacemakers wherever we are in the world - at home, at school at work - and we can tell others about Jesus – our soon and coming King!

Questions:  
  • When will the lion and the lamb be friends?
  • What is a peacemaker?
  • How can you be a peacemaker in your home, school, or work?

​
Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, Please help us find ways to bring peace to our world. We look forward to the day when Jesus reigns in peace and there is no more hunger or fear anywhere. Thank you for loving us so much! Amen.

Blessings,
Cara & Patti
