The way our family celebrates the relentless love of Jesus and His sacrifice

Our family is big on creating traditions...in this season of the year, we really strive to create opportunities to think of Jesus and the sacrifice that He made for us...this works for us, and if it gives you an idea of what you might want to do with your family, that is excellent. We do it all here...Ash Wednesday, Lent, Passover, Palm Sunday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Easter. I am putting this here, not because I think it is the end-all, but for my children if they choose to do it when they are grown...hope you enjoy it as well. Thanks for stopping by.

Day 14 Jesus Calms the Sea

Mark 4:1-41

Jesus and the disciples in the boat with the waves. Did draw a little bit on the faces...

Day 13 Parable of the Seeds



Matthew 13

OK, this is one of the ones that will make you feel empowered to make a lent banner, because the elements are kind of abstract...
  • bottom left is rocks...
  • the long skinny yellow is the mature plant...
  • the tiny yellow pieces are seeds...
  • the back lightening looking thing is thorns...
  • the blue are birds.

Day 8 Nicodemus
