Jesus loves His children! Happy Wednesday!

 



Kids hold a special place in the heart of Jesus.  The Bible tells of many times that Jesus did special things with the kids around Him.

 Children sat in Jesus’ lap. Jesus healed a little boy. He used another boy’s lunch to feed 5,000 people. Jesus told adults they needed faith like that of the children.  He even raised one little girl from the dead!   

All of these things were wonderful, but most importantly, Jesus wanted all the children to ultimately have a personal relationship with Him.   That’s right!   The desire of Jesus’ heart is to see all children become Christians so they can live with Him forever.

 Imagine that! 

Jesus wants to be your best friend, and He wants to spend forever with you.  That’s even better than being best friends with the toughest kid, the most popular kid, and the smartest kid in school - all at the same time!  Everyone knows you can’t be best friends with someone if you never spend time with them. It works the same way with Jesus. 

First of all, you need to place your faith in Him. He will save you! Then you need to plan to spend time together.  It’s easy to do. Find a quiet place, and spend a little time each day reading His Bible and talking to Him. 

You will be amazed at the difference being best friends with Jesus will make in your LIFE!!!


I hope you are enjoying Sunday School this summer so far??!!   The month of June we are learning about 'fathers' in the bible.   This past Sunday we talked about Mordecai and his role in Ester's life.   He was a great father figure to her.   Below you see what enjoyment we had during children's church!   Popcorn and a movie about these two characters from the bible.

Summertime adventures! God's creations are so amazing!!

 Happy Thursday Crenshaw Kids! Yesterday I had the best day!   I was up early and Bentley and I set out on a field trip to Lynchburg to an aquarium called Seaquest.   It is only an hour and 20 minutes from Blackstone...you must take a day trip there sometime!   When we arrived we met Aunt Savannah and entered the aquarium.   When Bentley walked in he was amazed.   Amazed isn't even the best word to describe the excitement and aww in his expressions.   This reminded me that God is so so so incredible!   HE made all these things.   All the tiny details...all the wonderment.    “He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters, He refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for His name’s sake.” – Psalm 23:2-3, NIV When we look at nature, we can remember God, who created it. Nature can be awe-inspiring, even to the point of being almost incomprehensible. The richness of a sunset, the twinkle of stars and the diversity of animals all witness to a creato
