We've had our dinner, my grandsons have finished their egg hunt outside and found the "inside surprises" I made them (two crocheted Perry the Platypus toys) so I had the drawing for the winner of the Cuisinart Baby Bottle Warmer. I'm happy to say Pastor Jeremiah is the winner! (You'll find the review at this link.) Thank you Pastor Jeremiah for reading About the Children's Department (please message me your address by April 7, 2013 so I can have it sent to you) and thank you Cuisinart for sending one for review and for making another available for me to give away!

Christ the Lord is Risen Today! Alleluia!
Today is Resurrection Sunday - the day we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus! I thought I'd share Glad's performance of the classic, Christ the Lord is Risen Today - enjoy and remember . . . because He is risen today, you can raise your joys and triumphs high and sing because death no longer has a sting or victory! Jesus did fight the fight and the battle is won because Jesus lives again! Alleluia!

Recruiting Volunteers for the Nursery!
Young children are often apprehensive over the thought of being separated from their parents . . . this can make the nursery a frightening place. Add to this the tendency of nurseries to utilize teens, elementary children and a once a month schedule for their volunteers and the nursery becomes a place filled with children and adults a child doesn't know. It can be difficult for a parent - particularly a first-time parent - to leave their child in the nursery when they see elementary children and teens as the care-givers and their child screams hysterically over being left in the nursery. We want our nurseries to be a place where parents feel confident and babies/toddlers feel comfortable . . . so consider the following -
The Dr. Seuss Quote for Today - I'm Sorry to Say So . . .
The Dr. Seuss Quote for today is, "I'm sorry to say so but, sadly it's true - that bang-ups and hang-ups can happen to you!" This is true. Bang-ups and hang-ups can and will happen to us.
Our world is broken by sin and because of this, hurt, pain and disappointment are part of life. We do not, however; have to be defeated by our bang-ups and hang-ups! Consider Joshua 1:9, "I’ve commanded you to be brave and strong, haven’t I? Don’t be alarmed or terrified, because the LORD your God is with you wherever you go." We do not have to be alarmed or terrified because the LORD our God is with us wherever we go!!!!

Recruiting and Bible Reviews - April will be Busy . . . & Fun!
April is just a few days away . . . since February and March have been so cold and blustery . . . at least if you live in Michigan . . . I, for one, am looking forward to April and warmer, bright, cheerful and exciting days!

So with warmer and more cheerful days in view, it is only natural to focus on things which are bright, cheerful and exciting! What could be more bright, cheerful and exciting than recruiting and reading God's Word? I'm sure it isn't difficult at all for you to agree with me on this in regards to reading God's Word. A couple days ago I posted a review - and give-away - for The Action Bible and throughout April I will be posting more Bible reviews . . . and give-aways!

The Dr. Seuss Quote For Today - From There to Here . . .
The Dr. Seuss Quote for today is, "From there to here, and here to there, funny things are everywhere!" This is mostly true! There are funny things most everywhere . . . some are easier to see than others, but there are funny things most everywhere!

What Do You Look For In Curriculum?
The Dr. Seuss Quote For Today - Will You Succeed?
However; when it comes to knowing and walking with God . . . well, if we follow God's Word, we are 100% guaranteed to succeed because God wants us to know and walk with Him! Consider Jeremiah 29:11-14a, "I know the plans I have in mind for you, declares the LORD; they are plans for peace, not disaster, to give you a future filled with hope. When you call me and come and pray to me, I will listen to you. When you search for me, yes, search for me with all your heart, you will find me. I will be present for you, declares the LORD." God wants us to find Him! This is some of the best news we could ever have! God tells us how we can be better than ninety-eight and three-quarters percent guaranteed to succeed when it comes to finding Him . . . we need to call on Him, talk with Him, search for Him with all of our heart and then we will find Him because God says He will listen to us and be present for us! This is a promise and guarantee I can cling to!

The Action Bible - I'm Giving One Away!
What Curriculum Do You Use and Why?
The Dr. Seuss Quote For Today - Today I Shall Behave . . .
If we treated others the way we want them to treat us, chances are we would treat others nicely. Of course it is possible you might treat others nicely and then they do not respond in kind, but we are only responsible for how we treat others . . . not how they treat us in return.
