I want my children to know and experience the God of heaven. God who cares about them enough to speak to them. One way He speaks is in our imagination, through words or pictures. Listening for His voice takes practice and discernment. This is an exercise we do from time to time. I've used it in classes of children as well as with my own. It can be a great opportunity to connect and minster to their needs.
We made a very simple book
of folded paper (8.5 x 14) stapled at the edge, no cover, no binding. I
love the creative options of making books, but today the focus was on
our hearts.
We looked at what was in our heart and entered it in our newly made journal.
 |
| I saw doubts, failure, and confusion raining down. |
Then we asked God how he saw our hearts and entered that in our journal.
 |
| God saw he sent blessings as water for me to grow and all is for His glory. |
I drew and wrote. One son writes, one draws. My daughter draws.
 |
| Heart of negative emotions, but God sees a strong man of God. |
 |
| How they saw their heart. |
 |
| How God saw their heart. |
