Day 6: Our Week Long Walk With Our Savior Jesus Christ!

Just when you have all the great ideas and excitment of starting a new thing life get's in the way and day to day becomes chaotic. Well, we've been braving the storm and not giving in to skipping a day! Also, Caitlyn would not even think of letting a day go by without a lesson! Today, Good Friday, we talked about Jesus final moments until his crucifixion and death. He was surrounded mostly amongst people who hated Him simply because they feared Him...they feared the unknown, they feared their future. Are we not still experiencing this today...because what we cannot see we cannot believe? I love the quote from the Polar Express movie,"Seeing is believing, but sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see." From His arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane to laying Him in the tomb, we decided to make these events imaginable..for a 4 year old. We constructed out of twigs, cardboard and rocks a scene more understandable for Caitlyn. She was excited to have her fisherprice daddy's start acting out thier part! We placed Jesus in the tomb wrapped in a papertowel and the soldier stand guard by the rock until Sunday! We are so glad we decided to start this new tradition for our family! I know Caitlyn will keep these memories close to heart and remember our fun and meaningful lessons.

Peter 3:18 For Christ hath also once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit
