Forever Easter - Day 3

Day 3 - The Crucifixion.

We gathered together to read and talk about the saddest day in history-

the death of our Lord Jesus Christ.

As we read about Jesus' betrayers, mockers, and abusers

one girl said, "This story is scary."

I agreed, but one thing we know,

that the apostles didn't,

is that Jesus rose again!!!

It is so hard to talk about all that Jesus endured,

but to know and remember that He 

did it all willingly out of His love for us

changes the story from being sad to

glorious!!

Look at the joy He has brought to me!!!

So, for snack time

my kids made 'cross' cookies!!!

Our craft time today was to design and paint

and use 'rub-ons' on their ceramic cross.

Here we are-

all twelve us!

Their first task was to design on paper all that 

they wanted to paint and decorate 

their cross with.

Everyone was hard at work...

and then the painting began!

Joy wanted to paint too-

I chose crayons and paper instead!

The finished product!
