Valentine’s Day is around the corner and I particularly love to celebrate this special holiday with my children. It is a great day to give extra hugs and tell those we care about, “I love you.”
Children express love in simple yet powerful ways. I love when my son picks wild flowers from the grass and gives them to me as a gift. My heart melts when my daughter draws a picture of the family and can’t wait to share it with me.
The Love Like Jesus Table
This year I wanted to focus this holiday on how Jesus loves us. This idea inspired me to create a LOVE table with goodies that would remind my children of Jesus’ message from John 13:-34-35, “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.”
I decorated the children’s table with heart theme table cloth and placed these Love Like Jesus Valentine Fuzzy Coloring Cards and a wooden heart picture frame for them to paint. My main goal was to talk to them while they painted about what a friend we have in Jesus and how much He loves them. We invited some friends over to share this special celebration. We plan to print out a picture to place in the wooden painted heart frame of those friends present to serve as a reminder that Jesus created us to LOVE one another.
I hope you enjoy this idea and if you decide to create a Love like Jesus table please feel free to tag @justteachme.
This is such a sweet and purposeful Valentine’s project. I love it!
