Hello Friend!
Spring is well and truly underway here in the north of England, it can sometimes take a while to get going! It's a season that can spark new hope and joy in us as we see the fresh spring flowers poking up through the ground and glorious blossoms bobbing in the wind.
I love the newness of everything. It speaks to me of Jesus' wonderful creativity and limitless possibilities!
What is inspiring you today? What is bringing you joy and hope?
I pray you will feel a refreshing from Jesus and renewed strength to persevere or to try something new or to simply rest!
Read on for a super practical blog post on plugging into God, a spring-themed Adventure Time, Encounter Fun Play Tray Ideas and more...
With love
Sarah!

A Tiny Seed Adventure Time!
Use your wonderful imagination to be with Jesus! Choose a relaxed time of the day. Get comfy, invite Holy Spirit to be with you and be expectant!
Matthew 13:23
Jesus said "The seed that fell on the good ground... is like the person who hears the teaching and understands it. That person grows and produces fruit, sometimes a hundred times more, sometimes sixty times more, and sometimes thirty times more.”
Say slowly, with lots of pauses, keep it shorter for a younger child:
Thank you Holy Spirit that you love us... Help us to be with Jesus now!
Let's pretend to be a tiny seed. We are hidden in the soft warm soil...
Can you hear Jesus' voice? He is calling your name! Amazing!
What else is He saying to you... What is He doing?
You are growing up through the ground, out into the light!
There is Jesus! He's the gardener. He is so pleased to see you!
What a beautiful, strong plant you are! What can you see, hear, feel?
What does Jesus think? What does He say or do?
Spend time with Him... He loves you so much!
He wants you to grow strong and tall in Him!
Keep it light and fun as you give time to be with Jesus.
Share what you saw, heard or sensed. Validate and celebrate all responses.
Jot down in an Adventure Book or special journal.
Thank Jesus for being with you!
Let me know your testimonies! I'd so love to hear them!
