Last week I started teaching my Sunday school some characteristics of God. I asked them to tell me what they think of when they think of God. They gave me some very interesting descriptions...some slightly accurate, but mostly not accurate at all. Shane suggested that I teach them what the Bible says about how God looks. I started studying it, reading verses about what God looks like and it is so amazing. I got the descriptions from the Bible then googled images for those specific descriptions. So I have a lot of photos to show the kids along with the description. For example, in Revelation it says that God has the appearance of jasper and sardine stone. So I googled jasper and sardine stone and got images for those things to show the kids. I did that with each description I found. It is a very neat thing to study and I am very glad I did it. I encourage you to go read about God and what He looks like. It makes me just a little more excited to get to heaven :-)
Here are a couple verses to get you started:
Genesis 1:27
Revelation 19:11-16
Revelation 1:12-15
Revelation 4:3

Quiet Books
Has anyone ever made a quiet book? I have been pinning a ton of quiet book page ideas on pinterest along with making some of my own. Shane bought me some felt last night so I do believe I now have nothing stopping me from starting a quiet book for the kids! I will start with one for William. If it is extremely stressful and not so much fun I will stop there and the two of them can share it. BUT if I really enjoy (which I think I will) then I will make one for Jenn, too. I am hoping to have them done for our trip in January...maybe let them open them up on the plane or something. We will see :-) I will post pictures as I finish pages so you all can see the progress. And if anyone has ever done one before and wants to share some advice, please do so!!
