Finishing up the Generosity

    I've been putting off posting these last two weeks of generosity because my husband and I have been working on our blog site. So, you may have noticed a few changes on the page, and you've probably also noticed that those little add ons lead to...nothing! Haha, unfortunately, my husband and I are blog challenged. We both desire to make more of our little warrior spot on the web, but just can't seem to understand all the little steps to make that happen. So, here's a little shout out for help, if you read our blog and you are blog savvy and can offer us any help, please let us know. We would greatly appreciate it! Now, on to Warrior Wednesdays...

  For our field trip on generosity, Adam took the boys to Target. Our church youth group was doing a service project for our local mission, collecting items they are in need of most. So, we joined in!

 This has to be one of my favorite pictures of Jayce. Holding onto his items for the mission, and doing it IN STYLE!

 

He always loves to help put the items on the checkout counter.

 

 

And here he is with all of the goodies, ready to bring them to the church for the mission.

 

 

  Adam did a wonderful job explaining that there are some people who don't have certain things and we should help them in any way God leads us to. This is generosity. When the boys came home with their bags, Jayce was so excited to show Auntie Googie "the things they got for the people who don't have any."

 

 

  For our last week studying generosity, what better Person to learn from, than Christ Himself?  Throughout the week, we used our Resurrection Eggs. Jayce was so excited to open a new egg everyday, and now he can tell the entire Easter story all by himself. They are a GREAT resource! On Wednesday, we made Resurrection Rolls.

Even though Jayce doesn't like marshmallows, he's always so excited to get them and asks over and over if he can eat one. It always ends the same way, one bite, then into the trash haha. That's okay, maybe one of these days he'll find he likes them.

We dip the marshmallow (which represents Christ) into melted butter then into cinnamon and sugar (which represents the spices used for his body).

Wrap the marshmallow into a crescent roll (the linens), then place in the oven (the tomb).

When they come out of the oven, the marshmallow is gone, Jesus is RISEN!! HE IS ALIVE!

 



 

Josiah particularly LOVED these little treats! He would have eaten them all night if he could!

While the Resurrection Rolls were cooking, we watched What's In the Bible Episode 10, http://whatsinthebible.com/ teaching them about the life and death of Christ. He GENEROUSLY GAVE His life for us! What a joy to walk through this life with these boys and have the honor of teaching them about the greatest event that has ever happened in the history of the world!!
