Yesterday, in the midst of coloring, Aria went to her room, grabbed her Bible, a new piece of paper, and then colored this picture. She said she needed her Bible so she could know how to spell Jesus.
Me: "Why don't you draw a picture of Jesus to go with your words?"
Aria: "I can't, because he wears a glowing white robe, and I don't know how to do that."
We tried to think of some ways to draw that, and this is what she came up with. We've been talking a lot about Jesus' death and resurrection these past two weeks, so I was so blessed by her self-initiated response to what we've been talking about. That in her own 5-year old way she understands that Jesus loves her SO incredibly much that he has done everything possible to show her that love. May you also be impacted by Jesus' love for you this Easter and respond to him in your own unique way... just like Aria did.
Happy Easter!
Love seeing kids making connections like that. We sing a song in church (a preschool version of Jesus Loves Me) and Makayla was singing it through the store the other day! Love it!
