The Love Dare Day 39: Love Endures

Love never fails. 1 Corinthians 13:8

TODAY’S DARE

Spend time in personal prayer, then write a letter of commitment and resolve to your spouse. Include why you are committing to this marriage until death, and that you have purposed to love them no matter what. Leave it in a place that your mate will find it.

The Love Dare is a 40-day challenge for husbands and wives to understand and practice unconditional love. You can do it as a couple, or if your marriage is in trouble, do it as an individual, for your marriage, out of obedience to Christ. Each day has a challenging lesson on love, followed by a ‘dare’ for the day, and space to journal how it went. For more information visit Fireproof My Marriage
I would ask for you all to pray for us as we embark on this journey, and let me know if I can pray for you as well. Click here to start from Day 1!

If you're participating in The Love Dare, I would love to hear from you! Add your link to our McLinky so we can all pray for each other!

My Baby is 4 today!

 

Wow, time has flown by my sweet baby! You are so full of life, almost 100% smiles all the time, and still the cuddliest kid I know!

Everyone loves your vibrant personality, and we’ve all been so blessed by your presence in our lives! Do Mommy a favor and stop trying to cut off those beautiful curls okay?

Love you bunny, Mommy and Daddy

stART – Rainbow Fish

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the stART concept, if you haven’t gotten involved yet, Visit A Mommy’s Adventures for more info! Each Thursday Michelle puts up her stART project for everyone to link up to and share ideas.

Simply put: A Story + Art = A Great stART!!

Our first project is The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister, this went along perfectly with our Letter F For Fish activities!

I found the Rainbow fish idea on Bytes of Memory’s blog, and since we already had the book, I went for it!

We made these fun little fish using colored construction paper and Tin Foil pieces. I had the bright idea of cutting them with my 1” hole punch so they looked like scales, but really I like how Bytes of Memory’s turned out better. She let her child tear the pieces of paper to add on to the fish.

The Love Dare Day 38: Love fulfills dreams

Delight yourself in the Lord; and He will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4

TODAY’S DARE

Ask yourself what your mate would want if it was obtainable. Commit this to prayer, and start mapping out a plan for meeting some (if not all) of their desires, to whatever level you possibly can.

Jesus Loves Me Lapbook

We’re making a fun Jesus Loves Me Lapbook for Valentines this week!

• Here’s a VIDEO of a sample book, (mine is a little different)
• I downloaded the contents from Christian Preschool Printables (There are 4 pages of items to download, so look at them all!)
  

Here is the inside of our book, left side, middle and right when opened fully:

I used 2 file folders for this lapbook, it includes:

• Tic-tac-toe
• Number cards to make the verse John 3:16 when put in order
• Bingo
• Love Is…game
• Mini-book
• Hide ‘em in your heart coloring verse

Here is the inside of the lapbook, and the back 2 pages with the Love Is… game on it. For my preschooler, I made a Jesus Puzzle instead of the numbered verse cards since she can’t read yet.

The Love Dare Day 37: Love agrees in prayer

If two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father. Matthew 18:19

TODAY’S DARE

Ask your spouse if you can begin praying together. Talk about the best time to do this, whether it’s in the morning, your lunch hour, or before bedtime. Use this time to commit your concerns, disagreements, and needs before the Lord. Don’t forget to thank Him for His provision and blessing. Even if your spouse refuses to do this, resolve to spend this daily time in prayer yourself.
