Sermon Illustrations- Sticker Compliment Game


My husband can come up with some of the best illustrations for church and this particular one has been one of my favorites.   This was his last sermon in his series "Make me Love."


As you can see we have star stickers and circle stickers.  First he asked us to think of things we didn't like about us or things God needed to change in us and use the white stickers.   Then he asked us to use the star stickers for things we did like.   Then we had to go around and do that for others.   Obviously most people hand out the star compliments.   It felt really nice to hear some nice things about myself but it was fun to see others get excited when a compliment was given to them.  


Along with that activity he also read the book, "You Are Special" by Max Lucado.   It was adorable! It is a great story that explains the above illustration!    

Overall we have to remember we are made in the image of Christ!  Many of us though have been deformed- corrupted by sin and this world and are covered in dots.   To get rid of the dots we must get rid of the distractions of this worlds and rely on more Daddy God time.   

Romans 12:1-2 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God-this is your true and proper worship.   Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.   Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is- his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Liquid Chalk spray! Chalk Idea #7

Last week we tried out the fizzing sidewalk chalk- click here to read that review. This week it is liquid chalk spray.  They are a bit similar but yet different.  Here is how to make it: Supplies: 1 tsp. washable tempura paint 1 cup of hot water 1/2 cup of cornstarch squirt of dishwashing liquid 1 squirt bottle- I found them at the dollar store 1.  Add cornstarch to one cup of hot water whisking to mix so that there are no clumps. 2.  Add one teaspoon of washable tempura paint and a quirt of dishwashing liquid.  Mix well. 3.  Pour it into your squirt bottles and shake well. 4.  Go have fun!!!   This kept my daughters attention much longer the the fizzy chalk last week.  I also think this was easier to work with and just more fun in general.  I love seeing the chalk wet but then to see it dry.  I think it dried darker so it was fun to see the changes.  :)  Ready, Set, Go!  Have some fun! She is my little model... she kept saying "take my picture mom." She is like her

Toddler Rainbow Craft for St. Patricks Day

St. Patrick's day is March 17th so its approaching quickly.  I have a few ideas on art and food projects that i want to do with the kiddos.  Hopefully I will have enough time to complete them and share them with you.   This was a super easy one for those little hands.  I cut the stripes of colored paper but if you are working with a preschooler or school aged child then they can practice cutting.  The two toddler boys here only had to glue the pieces on their piece of paper.  EASY, but they enjoyed it!  :)  It sure has brightened my kitchen with them hanging on the fridge!  :)   I also talked more about the Promise God gave us with the rainbow since I know that history a whole lot better then the history of the Irish Holiday!
