Love During Lent
This is our cross today. As we checked in for school, we each wrote our name on a heart and posted it on the cross. The children were excited to be covering up their black handprints and have estimated that it will take at least 2 more weeks to cover the entire cross. Ironically, each child put their heart over their own name. Our instructions were to put it anywhere, but they chose to do this on their own. It is very meaningful to have the children express their sadness about Jesus' death on the cross and for them to talk about what it means to them. As I said in the last post, we can never talk of the cross without ending the conversation with the miracle of Jesus "escaping the cross" on Easter.
