Week 6- Oh, How He Loves Us! (Special Valentine's Day Lesson)
This week we talked about the different ways Jesus shows us love, and how we can show each other love. Since Valentine's Day is this Friday, we made Jesus Valentines to show how much we love Him, too! We made a Valentine Wreath with a cute poem in the middle for Jesus.
We read through the poem together and discussed what each part meant. It's sometimes easy to forget that our kids don't know what "laying [prayers] at Jesus' feet" means, so we talked about each phrase.
1. What is a Valentine?
2. Why would I want Jesus to be my Valentine?
3. How does Jesus make our lives complete?
4. How can I lay my cares at Jesus' feet? What should we do when we have a worry or a prayer?
5. What kinds of blessings does Jesus give us?
6. How is Jesus' love for us different than our love for ice cream? Or our pets? Or even our moms and dads?
The final product:
You can tell that I didn't make them use the directions in attaching their hearts. They could do whatever they wanted, as long as the words were shown. We used tacky glue (I recommend Oriental Trading's Fabulous Foam Glue over the gold-Aleen tacky glue you can find in most stores- they're usually too thick for the kids to be able to use properly) to attach the hearts however they wanted around the edge, after gluing the ribbon on first.
We finished the morning with a wonderful prayer by Brynson and delicious chips! Each kiddo also got to take home (or eat!) a Valentine cake to celebrate the holiday.
