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

I signed up for the Lisa Leonard newsletter. LOVE her pieces!
Also, thank you for your ideas. We are spending Palm Sunday recovering from 3 days of a vicious stomach flu. However, we’ve made hand “palms,” rocked out to Hosana Rocks and used the felt He Is Risen banners from Etsy to hold our own Palm Sunday service. Thank you! Without your ideas, today would have been another sick day! Thank you!

I have really enjoyed your ideas and crafts–they encourage me to be a more deliberate parent in how our faith is taught. The crafts have been perfect for our kids’ ages (and the supplies i usually have on hand.) * i mean this even if it is too late for the necklace giveaway.* 😉
