For the Bible Tells Me So board books immerse little children in the gospel, teaching them who God is and why they should trust him as their Lord and Savior.
Talk on Tuesday Do you remember that song that you learned in Sunday School? At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” 2 Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, 3 and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5 Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me. Matthew 18:1-5 Such a sweet song. It's probably one of the first songs a lot of us ever sung. And because we are always young at heart, it never grows old. Last Night I shared about the history of this beloved children's hymn. But first I have to share with you how it came to be that I shared about this. I've said before about how God uniquely lets me know what it is that I'm to share with the ladies at the Windsor Life Centre. Source I was visiting my folks/family the first weekend of August. My sister and I visited with our cousins who we grew up with, but are now both working and living in England. This picture is from a few years ago but same place and mostly the same people. We got to sharing about coming to know Jesus so many years ago as young girls. It was a special visit. Then on Sunday, the church we belonged to when coming to know Jesus, celebrated their 46th Anniversary. For me, it was a time to reflect back on my salvation and the early days of our church. Then, my sister in law, was sharing with me a book she was reading, and how a portion of what she was reading prompted her to search more, bringing her to the author of "Jesus Loves Me" As she began sharing a bit of the story I knew what I was going to be sharing about. For me, it was just a sweet reminder from God about that time so long ago, when I decided to ask Jesus into my heart at the age of nine. I simply believed. And like the song says, "for the Bible tells me so". Anna Bartlett Warner This is the back of the postcard I made for the ladies. It gives a quick overview. To read more information go here This is the front of the postcard. I changed it to Sepia on PicMonkey Definitely from a vintage children's book. This is an older picture of the Warner home on Constitution Island. Here is a newer photograph. There used to be tours but I'm not sure if that has stopped due to the unstable condition of the building. You can see a small tour here on You Tube. The original furniture and fixtures remain in the home. That is where Anna sat and penned the words, "Jesus Loves Me." I found an adorable video of a seven year old girl singing this song. She does a beautiful job. Anna died in 1915. Anna and her sister Susan are buried at the West Point Cemetery. They are the only civilians buried there. Remember, you are never too old to sing this song. Yes, Jesus Loves Me For the Bible tells me so. Sharing this post at these parties: Sundays at Home Roses of Inspiration

There is so much power in our words. With great power, comes great responsibility. The Bible teaches us to tame our tongues and speak life. We must be mindful to not speak hurtful words because God has called us to control our tongues. The question is: how can we tame our tongues in a moment of anger, insecurity, hurt?
I have a friend who is really good at quiet times with the Lord- reading the Bible, journaling, praying. When she's been with God, her face is so happy and peaceful. You can just tell she loves God, you know? This sort of reminds me of Moses in the Bible, when came down from the mountain of God.

PRAYER: Pray that we will always put God first in our lives and place everything else below Him. SPECIAL SONG: Jesus Taught By Parable And Miracle (see March - Songs We Sing In Bible Class #4 on this blog. Click on orange circle to hear tune.) VISUAL AID: Make a large Activity like the one below under Activity. LESSON POINTS: As Jesus daily walked around Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem, there were always a crowd of people who gathered around Him. Perhaps they were waiting for Him to perform a miracle and they wanted to see Him make a lame person walk, maybe they had heard about Jesus and were curious to see what He looked like, or maybe they wanted to hear what He had to say. Whatever their reasons, the people followed Jesus as He visited their towns. Sometimes there were just a few people following, but many times, there were great crowds of people. Because microphones and speakers had not been invented yet, the people had to be quiet and listen closely and remember what Jesus had said because there were no tape recorders or smart phones to record what He was saying. No, the people--all the people--listened quietly to Jesus as He spoke. When Jesus preached to the people, sometimes He said exactly what the people should do. He commanded them like He did when He taught on the Sermon on the Mount. Sometimes He would heal someone who everyone in the town knew to get their attention, then He would teach the people. Sometimes He told the people stories or parables to paint a picture in the people's minds, so they could remember the lesson and also understand the lesson. One thing remained true: Jesus always taught by His example. He lived what He taught. In the lesson today, Jesus taught a parable about a very rich man who forgot something. Jesus taught the people lessons by talking about something they knew, like farming for example, then he would apply the lesson to something spiritual. He told the story about a man who farmed land and his land grew a great amount of fruit. We don't know what kind of fruit it was, but there was a lot of it and the rich man put it in barns. God had blessed the man's land so much that the man began thinking about what he would do with all the fruit. He thought to himself, "What will I do? I have so much fruit that I don't have enough room for it all. I know! I will tear down all of my barns and I will build much larger barns and then I will put all of my fruit inside. I will say to myself--I have much fruit stored up for many years, so I will eat, drink, and be merry." BUT...the rich man forgot something! He forgot God and he forgot that he was going to die. God said to the rich man, "You fool! Tonight your soul is required of you! Then who will own all those things that you have stored up?" At the end of the parable, Jesus said, "Someone who stores up treasures on this earth and is not rich towards God is just like that rich fool." Jesus did not want us to be like that rich man who forgot God. He wanted us to always put God first in our lives, then God would always give us everything we need. (Matthew 6:12). What does that mean, "Put God first?" That's right! It means to always do spiritual things before we do the earthly things. First, we go to Bible class, then we can play soccer or go to the mountains. It means that whatever we do in life--get a job, play sports, etc.--we need to put God above those things. "Older Student" Tips: Discuss what a 'fool' is. Someone who is not smart. Talk about how smart Jesus was to tell parables about the things that the people knew: farming, cleaning house, finding a treasure, losing a sheep, etc. The people He taught could understand what the meaning was to His lessons. Have everyone open their Bibles to Luke 12:16-19 and count how many times the rich man said the words, "I" or "my". Then, count how many times he said anything about helping others or giving back to God. ACTIVITY: Parable of the Rich Fool Materials needed: 6" x 9" red construction paper, 5" x 12" light brown construction paper, 4.5" x 8" dark brown construction paper, 3" x 3" dark brown construction paper, glue, scissors, marker, crayons. Hand out light brown paper. This is the roof. Cut edges off two short sides of light brown paper to resemble a roof. Hand out red paper. This is the barn. Glue top edge of red barn. Place the bottom of the roof on top of the barn. Hand out dark brown paper. This is the barn door. Cut in half. Fold one edge of each dark brown square. Glue only the small folded edge. Place glued edges of two barn doors away from each other on top of the red barn. The doors should open. Hand out small dark brown paper. This is the hayloft. Cut in half. Fold one edge of each small dark brown square. Glue only the small folded edge. Place glued edges of two hayloft doors away from each other on top of the roof. The doors should open. Write "The Rich Fool" and "Luke 12:16-21" on top of the roof. Open large barn doors. Inside the large barn doors on the red barn, write "The rich fool said, 'I will build greater barns...I will eat, drink, and be merry.' But..." Open small brown doors of the hayloft. Write "...but he forgot God." On both sides of each of the barn doors, make a large "X". On the small hayloft doors, make black or brown lines to resemble wood. On the roof, make lines to resemble a roof. Before leaving class, have the students read what it says inside all doors.
