Building Cathedrals
Kat’s beautiful Lenten reminder and 4ddintx‘s resourceful comment on Monday were enough to get me off my duff to try something new to make this a more meaningful and memorable Lent for my children. Thus, our Jesus Tree was born.
A trip to the craft store; some felt, scissors, and glue; and a little time and attention to detail was all it took to erect our Jesus Tree and this week’s ornaments. After two days, I’m not entirely sure how much my 4 and 2yo are “learning” from the experience, but I can say that we are all enjoying ourselves so far. It is good for a mother’s soul to know her boys are at least hearing about Christ’s life, associating the stories with themes and images, and getting a creative/kinesthetic outlet to boot. And the best part about our Jesus Tree–it can bloom again next year and the year after, making this one of our family’s first Lenten traditions. Alleluia!
