Treasure Box Poetry And Praise: A Million Snowflakes

Source: butterflypoemawards.blogspot.com via Susan on Pinterest

One Of His Beautiful Creations

Though there are some very beautiful people in this world. What matters is what's on the inside. To God beauty is a far different thing than the world pictures. God looks at the heart and His judgment is not on the outward appearance. That does not mean we should neglect our appearance or make our appearance resemble a worldly way. All people are unique and that is a beauty in its self, because no two are exactly the same. It's true a face could look the same, but no one owns your particular face it is still your own and God knew you before you were born. God loves you no matter what you look like on the outside. God created only one you...that makes you a work of art, one of His beautiful creations.

Look at yourself through His eyes.

A Million Snowflakes

Crystal white lace falling free;

Dancing along in the breeze.

Lining each limb on the trees;

Nothing has beauty like these.

A sea of wintry hills;

A scene that stands very still.

Pines stacked with wonderland thrills;

Speaks of a God that is real.

A million snowflakes fly down;

Not making a single sound.

Each one is beautifully crowned;

Treasures of love on the ground.

Each tiny flower of lace;

Has its own beautiful face.

Like people of every race;

Different and fashioned in place.

Snowflakes are never the same;

But God knows us all by name.

Precious His love has proclaimed;

For It was for us that He came.

A million snowflakes fly down;

Not making a single sound.

Yet they teach wisdom profound;

Showing His love all around.

Jesus is My Valentine - Lesson

Jesus Is My Valentine

Matthew 32:27

Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart

Although there are many people we love in our lives Jesus should be the most important. Jesus is someone we should spend time with everyday. We should honor Him above all others.

Jesus has loved us longer than anyone else in the whole world and He loves us more than anyone else does too. He knew you before you were born. He planned everything about you. He knows even how many hairs are on your head.
Jesus knows every thought that you think and everything you've done even when no one else knows but you. Yet He still loves you more than anyone else. Though your parent love you bunches and bunches. Jesus still loves you more.
When we love Jesus, we should show our love by what we do. Prayer is one way to show our love to Jesus. Jesus wants us to share our hearts with Him. We can tell Him If we feel sad or if we feel angry and ask Him to help us stop feeling that way. He puts joy and a song in our heart instead..
He wants us to love Him by singing to Him songs of praise and giving thanks. When we love Jesus we will thank Him for all the blessings we enjoy. Thank Him for your home, your toys, the sunshine, your family and on and on.
When we love Jesus we should obey Him by choosing to do the right things. He wants us to tell Him when we've done wrong . The bible calls this confessing our sin. Reading and learning your bible teaches you how to love God and love others.
We show love to Jesus when we treat other people with kindness and generosity. We love others by putting their need ahead of our own. Jesus first, others second and ourselves last. JOY !
The bible is God's love letter to us. The bible teaches us how much God hates our sin but how much He loves us. God loved us so much He sent Jesus to die for our sin. Sin separates us from God. Sin is anything that we do wrong. If you disobey your parents - that is sin. If you yell at your sister - that is a sin. Breaking the laws of God is sin. God provided a way to be forgiven of sin and provided a way to go heaven when we die.

Will you give your heart to Jesus..... Make Him The Ultimate Valentine...The Number 1 Valentine...An Eternal Valentine.
No one can love you the way Jesus does.
Let's Give Jesus First Place
I made Jesus my Valentine a long time ago. Jesus helps us love others in the right way.
I wrote this little poem in 2008 to exspress to others why Jesus Is My Valentine.

Good Enough ~ Belinda van Rensburg

Good Enough

by Belinda van Rensburg

God wants me to be myself
For He created me this way,
And since God made me who I am,
Myself I'm quite content to stay.

In His eyes I'm good enough -
It matters not what others say;
I need not act as if I'm tough
Or copy other children's ways.

God doesn't care if I'm not cool -
If I'm not stronger; thinner;
In His hands I am a tool
To reach out to another sinner.

Though I am still young and small
In Jesus Christ I'm strong and tall;
So when people look at me
May it be God's own Son they see.

Jesus Is My Valentine

Jesus Is My Valentine

by: Susan Y Nikitenko

December 2008

Jesus is my Valentine;

I talk to Him each day.

He never, never leaves me;

and always listens when I pray.

Yes He is my Valentine;

there is no love like His.

He is the heart of all that is;

for Him I breathe and live.

He's a Valentine that never lies;

never hurts or breaks.

He always has forgiven me;

for all my past mistakes.

If you only knew my Valentine;

You would love Him too.

For His love is always perfect;

His love is always true.

So if your heart is longing;

for a love that never ends.

for someone that is faithful;

you know you can depend.

call upon my Valentine;

He'll wash away your sin.

He will be your Valentine;

and your dearest, dearest friend.

I'm Soooo Scared... I COULD BUST! - Object Lesson - Restored And Updated - August 27th, 2014

Object Lesson

Natasha Miller

3-1 1-2008

Edited SYN

Children's Ministries

Object Lesson

I'm Soooo Scared... I COULD BUST!

Text:

Psalms 27:1

The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?

the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be

afraid?"

Theme:

Fear vrs. Courage and Faith

Tell Them What These Words Mean

Ages:
5-and Up

Objects:
3 Balloons, a cup of water, matches or lighter, and a candle

Teach A Bible Story That Teaches Courage And Faith After This Object Lesson.

--------

I'm Soooo Scared... I COULD BUST!

How many of you have ever been afraid of anything? I'm really scared of escalators!

I know it's funny.. but I am. How many of you have ever been afraid to witness to someone or

stand up for what's right at school? Me too.

Maybe you're afraid, for example that you're going to get bad grades on your test or maybe you're afraid someone in your family is going to die. There are so many things that could make us afraid. Can you tell me what makes you afraid?

Well When we are scared, we are kind of like this balloon (Hold up pre-blown up balloon, maybe from earlier game) And this flame( light candle)

Now watch carefully.

(Hold the balloon to the candle) POP!!!

Now we may not really Pop! like this balloon did ...this is an example of how fear makes us act and feel. You may feel like not doing what is hard or quitting. You may feel like crying or getting angry. Life is very hard when we try to carry all our fears around with us. So what do we do when we are afraid?

The Bible says in Psalms 27:1

"The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?

The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?'

So let's see what happens...

If we let God take all the heat out of our fear. (Hold up balloon with cup of water in it) The water in

this balloon represents God. (Shake around so kids can hear and see the water.) So let's say we

are afraid to tell a mean girl at school about Jesus, but we let God take the fear and we ask him

for strength and faith. What will happen? Let's see ...(Hold candle up to water spot on balloon) (The balloon will

not pop!) He will strengthen us and the fear won't keep us from being strong and courageous.

So the next time you feel like you are soooo scared that you could just bust, rely on God. Give God

the fear and He will strengthen you and by faith your efforts will not be a bust.

but that all should come to repentance.

Romans 3:23

For all have sinned, and come

short of the glory of God;

Romans 5:12

Wherefore, as by one man sin entered

into the world, and death by sin;

and so death passed upon all men,

for that all have sinned:

Therefore if any man be in Christ,

he is a new creature: old things are
passed away; behold, all things

are become new.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful

and just to forgive us our sins,

and to cleanse us from all

unrighteousness.

Before I formed thee in the belly

I knew thee;

Proverbs 15:3

The eyes of the LORD are in every place,

beholding the evil and the good.

And GOD saw that the wickedness of man

was great in the earth, and that every imagination

of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

For all have sinned, and
come short of the glory of God;

raised him from the dead,

thou shalt be saved.

For whosoever shall call upon

What Kind Of Apples - updated

What Kind Of Apples

If you were a tree;
of apples so bold;
What kind of apples;
would your tree limbs hold?

Would they be bitter;
Or would they be sweet?
Would your apples provide;
A nutritious treat?

Apples of goodness;
Filled with God's mercy?
Apples of pardon;
Grace for the thirsty?

In Jesus our tree;
Can bare joy divine.
Through trouble and trial;
Our Jesus would shine.

Apples of patience;
Longsuffering too.
What kind of apples;
Are falling from you?

Crab apples are green;
And bitter to eat.
Some apples are rotten;
and lay at ones feet.

A fruit bearing tree;
In Jesus I'm told.
Will bare sweet apples;
Sweet apples of gold.

Like honey they yield;
Providing the world.
With apples of goodness;
Produced by our Lord.

If you were a tree;
of apples so bold;
What kind of apples;
would your tree limbs hold?

Galatians 5:22-23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering,
gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance:
against such there is no law.
