Our Resurrection Baskets ....

Posted in My High Calling

This year we've decided to make resurrection baskets.  Our youngest daughter is only 4 months old, so we just got her things she needs and might like to play with (but we did find a lamb teether!).  But for our oldest daughter, who will be 6 in May, we made a resurrection basket.  This is what we did:

 

We filled it with the following items (these are the things I found at midnight last night in Wal-Mart ... it's the only time I can get away...) and each item has a tag tied to it that has a message and a Bible verse from her NIrV.

  • A plush, bendable, shapable flower -

Grow in God’s grace

2 Peter 2:18  Grow in the grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Get to know him better. Give him glory both now and forever. Amen.

  • A butterfly stake for her flower garden -

Like a caterpillar into a butterfly you are a new creature in Christ

2 Corinthians 5:17 Anyone who believes in Christ is a new creation. The old is gone! The new has come!

  • A necklace -

Decorate yourself with God’s love, mercy and grace

Isaiah 61:10 The people of Jerusalem will say,
       "We take great delight in the Lord.
        We are joyful because we belong to our God.
        He has dressed us with salvation as if it were our

clothes.
        He has put robes of godliness on us.
        We are like a groom who is dressed up for his wedding.
        We are like a bride who decorates herself with her jewels.

  • A stuffed Lamb -

Jesus is the Lamb of God

John1:29  The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him. John said, "Look! The Lamb of God! He takes away the sin of the world!

  • A hollow chocolate rabbit -

Just as this bunny is hollow,

The tomb was empty Jesus is alive

Luke 24:1 It was very early in the morning on the first day of the week. The women took the spices they had prepared. Then they went to the tomb. 2 They found the stone rolled away from it. 3 When they entered the tomb, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

  • New markers -

Write God’s Word on your heart

Proverbs 3:3 Don't let love and truth ever leave you.
       Tie them around your neck.
        Write them on the tablet of your heart.

  • Princess Bubble Bath & Shampoo -

Let Jesus keep your heart clean

Psalm 51:10   God, create a pure heart in me.
       Give me a new spirit that is faithful to you.

  • Hershey's Kisses -

God loves you with an everlasting love

Jeremiah 31:3  The Lord appeared to us in the past. He said, "I have loved you with a love that lasts forever. I have kept on loving you with faithful love.

  • Stickers -

Stick with Jesus  He will stick with you

1 Thessalonians 5:24 The One who has chosen you is faithful. He will do all these things.

  • A cross suncatcher for her to paint -

Let the light of Jesus shine through you

Matthew 5:16 "In the same way, let your light shine in front of others. Then they will see the good things you

do. And they will praise your Father who is in heaven.

  • "Bandage" bubble gum -

Jesus can heal anything that hurts you  in your body, or in your heart

1 Peter 2:24 He himself carried our sins in his body on the cross. He did it so that we would die as far as sins are concerned. Then we would lead godly lives. His wounds have made you whole.

  • Little Golden Book about God -

Let God’s Word guide you and show you the way

Psalm 119:105 Your word is like a lamp that shows me the way. It is like a light that guides me.

  • Gazillion Bubbles -

Let the Fruit of the Spirit bubble up within you

Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

  23gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

 

  • And a bag of jelly beans with the following message:

RED IS FOR THE BLOOD HE GAVE.
GREEN IS FOR THE GRASS HE MADE.

YELLOW IS FOR THE SUN SO BRIGHT.

ORANGE IS FOR THE EDGE OF NIGHT.

BLACK IS FOR THE SINS WE MADE.
WHITE IS FOR THE GRACE HE GAVE.

PURPLE IS FOR HIS HOUR OF SORROW.

PINK IS FOR OUR NEW TOMORROW.

A BAG FULL OF JELLY BEANS
COLORFUL AND SWEET,
IS A PRAYER, IS A PROMISE,
IS A SPECIAL TREAT

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~


MAY THE JOY OF CHRIST'S RESURRECTION
FILL YOUR HEART AND BLESS YOUR LIFE.

 

Have a BLESSED RESURRECTION SUNDAY!!!

But the seed on good soil stands for those with an honest and good heart. They hear the message. They keep it in their hearts. They remain faithful and produce a good crop.
