Spreading Joy and Encouragement Through Hand Lettering
Psalm 4:8 is a wonderful verse for littles (or bigs… or adults!) to memorize, especially if there’s a little fear around bedtime or the dark.
In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, O Lord, will keep me safe. -Psalm 4:8
Created with @procreate app on iPad Pro with the Apple Pencil. @hewittavenue brush.
The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace.
I made this custom order for a sweet little nursery. Where would you put this reminder in your house?
I hope you have a good start to your week! Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters. -Colossians 3:23
Be still & know that I am God. -Psalm 46:10.
I hope you can find some time to “be still” this weekend! ?
Bible “journaling” for littles! This morning we’re reading about Noah’s Ark and I printed out a coloring page so Simon can color along as I read. For older kids, try giving just a blank sheet of paper and have them draw their interpretation of the story.
Today we’re reading from the @zonderkidz Read with Me Children’s Bible.
…let us rejoice and be glad in it!
We’re enjoying this pretty morning at the park with some friends. I hope you have a nice Wednesday! ?
Did anyone else see @_nightbirde on America’s Got Talent this week? I heard about this quote from her on the radio and went home and watched her amazing performance.
Life doesn’t stop being hard so deciding to be happy is critical.
Let’s decide to be happy today.
✨Happy Friday!✨
This summer I wanted to make sure my kids and I got out to take walks everyday so I decided we’d do #75milesofsummer.
The picture is a fun chart I created that Simon can color in a block for each mile we walk together. So far we’ve walked 18 miles since his school got out! That’s a whole lot of conversations about dinosaurs, whining about snacks, and complaining about the heat. ?
So… to go along with one of my mission verses, Deuteronomy 6:7 (“Impress [God’s commands] on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.”) we intentionally do some talking about God.
Here are a few ideas for you if you want to do something similar. While on a walk:
– Ask your child to point out 3 things they see or hear that God created.
– Pick a few houses on your walk and pray for the people inside.
– Spend some time practicing memorizing a Bible verse together. Psalm 24:1 (The Earth is the Lord’s and everything in it, the world and all who live in it.) is a good one to practice while outside!
Let me know if you do anything like this already! Or if you want an accountability partner!
Taking a break from my usual content to wish you a happy #nationaldonutday!
Did you know that National Donut Day actually has some history behind it?! It started in Chicago in 1938 (!!) by the Salvation Army to honor the volunteers who served donuts to the soldiers in World War 1. I’ll gladly carry on this tradition!?
Also, just want to say I like you a ‘hole’ lot! Thanks for following along with Joy by Jess. ?
