Jane Lazenby Art at Home for Kids, Week 2, Day 4

Hey!! I hope you were able to get yesterday’s art page download!

I am excited to see the finished ones that your child worked on. Don’t forget to post and tag me.

 

Today, I have created the “Lord make me an instrument of Your peace" color page.  It was specifically designed for young girls but can be enjoyed by kids of all ages.

You can download it here to get your copy. Print on heavy paper if available that will hold watercolor or acrylic paint. If you print on typing paper, that works great for crayons or “light watercolor “!

If you missed it last Monday, I shared how to make your own watercolor from household items that you probably have on hand. You can go back and check that out if you like.

“Lord make me an instrument of Your peace. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. Where there is sadness, joy." taken from "A prayer of St. Francis of Assisi"

When your child is finished, post and tag me. Another giveaway will be held for this original painting next week. It would look so good to be matted and framed for her room as a reminder that He is always good.  He replaces doubt with faith, despair with hope, darkness with light and sadness with joy.

As this quarantine continues, my prayer is the same as last week.  I pray it gives you “time” to be still and see Him. I pray it gives you “time” to be with your child while they create this art page while you praise them for their work and I pray it gives you “time” to talk to them about His promises while they read the words. Most of all, I pray that if your child doesn't know Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior, that it will give you time to share what it means to accept Him in their heart and will equip them to share with friends who may not know Him.

Happy arting day for your little ones. A little encouragement for you in closing, to remember. . . .

 God urges us to strive for peace in all our relationships. ... And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” The Good News: The peace of God is just a simple prayer away; approach Him with an open heart and God will grant you peace.For the sake of my relatives and friends I will say, “Peace be within you.”For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek your good.(Psalm 122:8-9)
