Tie Them As Symbols

 

easter gifts for kids

I’m very passionate about hanging up God’s Word and reminders of God’s Word throughout my house. Even if they are only construction paper signs, I still want them plastered everywhere! I take Deuteronomy 6:4-9 seriously:

Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them 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. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the door frames of your houses and on your gates. (NIV)

I want my kids to see Jesus and reminders of Him everywhere I can. Including in our wardrobes. I gotta tell you, I’m still a fan of a good Christian Tshirt! And of course, I love jewelry that shows us God’s love.

Last year, in Lydia’s unEaster Basket, I gave her a pink cross necklace. I feel like Lydia really got the crucifixion and resurrection last year. I think it was a perfect gift to help her remember and reflect on the miracle of Jesus’ death and resurrection.

Only Jesus could turn a symbol of torture into a symbol of love. Only Jesus could make a cross say LIFE and LOVE.


The other day I found this lovely flowering cross necklace by Lisa Leonard on Pinterest. I repinned it immediately because, well, clearly, I love it. And now I am happy to say, this lovely cross is firmly around my neck! It’s a big, chunky, yummy necklace that I cannot wait to show off!

What I love even more about this necklace is the back…

This is Love. Isn’t that true? A cross shouldn’t equal love. But it does. The cross is love. Jesus’ bloody, horrific death is LOVE.

After my repin and a quick conversation with Lisa Leonard, she offered to give away a This Is Love cross to one happy reader! I am ridiculously excited about this! What a lovely gift to tuck into your daughter’s Easter basket, give as a special present to a growing girl or for you to wear on Easter Sunday or (like me) everyday to remind you and your kids that THIS IS LOVE!

  6. I signed up for Lisa’s newsletter! (I’m already shopping for a Mother’s Day gift!)

  11. My daughter would SO love this! And it would be a perfect way to wrap up our Easter journey. We are doing our homemade resurrection eggs & devotionals this week and next, leading up to Easter. What a wonderful way to ‘top it off’! I hope I win! lol

  13. I am finally going to sign up for your email. I am in awe each time I visit the blog…so no more letting a good thing pass. We love the activities this Easter.

  15. I have been a subscriber of yours for well over a year. I appreciate all of your posts as they are an encouragement to impress upon my kids the importance of Jesus. I’m entrenched in planning my Holy Week before Easter and your resources have been priceless.

  26. Signed up for Lisa’s email and yours. Thanks so much for all you to to provide resources to help us teach our kids more about Jesus!!!

  27. I signed up, too – we had a “1st week of spring” celebration last Sunday — took the kids by surprise and they loved getting chocolate bunnies. Gave us a chance to talk about celebrating Easter with Christ as the focus — thanks for the ideas! Oh, and I’ve got my own little Lydia 🙂

  32. I tweeted about the give-away. The necklace is lovely — it reminds me of my mom. She loved wearing cross necklaces…and she doodled flowers everywhere. One of my sisters and I actually each got a tattoo of her flower after she passed away.

  34. I’m all signed up for Lisa’s newsletter. I gasped when I was this lovely necklace too!

  35. subscribed to the newsletter and to impress your kids.. Beautiful jewelry..hope I win 🙂
