Though you are a lowly worm

My 10-year-old is a big fan of bugs, so of course he connected with Isaiah 41:14, "Though you are a lowly worm, O Jacob, don't be afraid, people of Israel, for I will help you." He created his own project:

Isaiah 41:14

1. Draw a long, curving line without overlapping.

2. Turn the corner to make the other side of the long, skinny worm.

3. Write the verse on the worm's body and add decoration with colored pencil or fine-tipped marker. (This would be easier than cutting it out first, the way we did it.)

4. Cut out your worm to remind you that God sees you and redeems you, though you are very small.

Jesus Calling Crafts - June 1

Today is Day 1 of homeschooling my 2nd grade daughter. I'm going to have to get more crafty! We did our daily devotional from Jesus Calling: 365 Devotions for Kids by Sarah Young and at the end my sweet daughter said, "That's it!? What about a craft?" I couldn't argue with a girl who wanted more time in the Word. So this craft was born out of the June 1st devotion.

Isaiah 41:13

1. Trace your (or your child's) hand with a wide tipped marker and cut it out.

2. Place cut-out hand on a sheet of colored paper and outline. Cut out the larger hand.

3. Copy Isaiah 41:13 onto the hand and add any embellishments with colored pencils or fine tipped pens.

4. Glue your hand into God's hand with a glue stick to remind you that you are created in His image, He is bigger, and always holding you. Do not be afraid.

I'm guessing this girl will keep me hopping in the craft department. I will share our future ideas here.
