April 2006

April 3 Today we talked about Easter, and why we celebrate. We made cards for the Hug a Bug kids, and worked on a special blanket for Julianna. She is our latest SURVIVOR, and we couldn't be happier!! Julianna, cancer SURVIVOR Maryann found some new recruits to work on the blankets! We also worked on some Easter colouring sheets and word search puzzles.

We were each given a copy of The Jelly Bean Prayer, as well as a plastic egg to put some jelly beans in.

Jelly Bean Prayer

Little jelly beans

Tell a story true

A tale of a Father's love

Just for me and you

GREEN is for the waving palms and

SPECKLED beans for fish and sand

YELLOW is for the sun so bright

ORANGE is for prayers at twilight

PURPLE is for the hours of sorrow

PINK is for a new tomorrow

BLACK is for the sins we made

White is for the grace HE gave

HAPPY EASTER!!






April 24 Every week we make cards to let people in need know that we are praying for them. Today we talked about prayers, and about how and why we pray. We each got a cross shaped prayer booklet, and we wrote some of our prayers down. We will keep them at home and add new prayers or write down how our prayers have been answered. We also learned that sometimes prayers aren't answered the way we want them to be answered. We were very sad to learn that Ashley, someone we've been sending cards to since September, lost her battle with cancer Saturday morning. We made special cards for Ashley's family. You can read all about Ashley here... Ashley We worked on squares for a couple of blankets we're making. One is for an orphanage in Guatemala, and the other one is a comfort quilt for someone who is going through cancer treatments right now. We also made ourselves bookmarks. They say "Love One Another".
