The Promise of Lent Devotional {Books 4 Lent}

Lent will commence on Wendesday 2nd of March this year.  A couple of years ago I discovered a beautiful new book for the season of Advent by the author Chris Tiegreen.  I was very pleased to discover that he had written a companion devotional for Lent.


The Promise of Lent Devotional

A 40-Day Journey Toward the Miracle of Easter
  • Format Hardback | 192 pages 
  • Dimensions 145 x 188 x 15mm | 318g 
  • Publication date 15 Jan 2018 
  • Publisher Tyndale Momentum 
  • Language English 
  • ISBN10 1496419138 
  • ISBN13 9781496419132 
Lent is a time of remembering Christ's sacrifice--and yet it is not meant to be depressing; it is meant to be reorienting. The 40-day holy season is one of transition when we turn our eyes away from fading disappointments and move ever closer to the radiance of Easter hope.This is the purpose of The Promise of Lent Devotional: to stir up the hope that God has given us in the midst of a fallen world. Each day you'll read of death and new life, temptation and the power to overcome it, the life and ministry of Jesus, and the transformative power of God. Because when we gaze at God's true nature--his sacrificial love and his glorious resurrection--everything changes. The past fades, the tomb's stone rolls away, and our hearts awaken to faith once again. Discover that to be true this year, through The Promise of Lent Devotional. - Book Depository

I'm really looking forward to using this devotional this year.  It will be the first time I will be doing a lent devotional.

 What are some of your favourite Lent resources?

Who Am I? by Casting Crowns

Today is pivotal to my faith. I believe that He rose from the dead and took on my sin. It's not because of anything I did but it's everything to do with what HE DID for me and WHO HE IS.  

Casting Crowns have written and sung this beautiful  song that perfectly describes today and the depth of the gift from above towards mankind.

Who Am I? 

Who am I, that the lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt?
Who am I, that the bright and morning star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart?

Not because of who I am
But because of what you've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who you are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still you hear me when I'm calling
Lord, you catch me when I'm falling
And you've told me who I am
I am yours

Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
And watch me rise again?
Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me?

Not because of who I am
But because of what you've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who you are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still you hear me when I'm calling
Lord, you catch me when I'm falling
And you've told me who I am
I am yours

Not because of who I am
But because of what you've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who you are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still you hear me when I'm calling
Lord, you catch me when I'm falling
And you've told me who I am
I am yours
I am yours
I am yours

Whom shall I fear, whom shall I fear?
'Cause I am yours
I am yours

“Who Am I”

Easter / Passover Resource List

I love how our Lord always placed a celebration event to mark for His people each time they experienced the goodness of His love. I love to read about all the traditional remembrances that He put in place for the Israelite people in the Old Testament and as a New Testament believer I love being able to show Nathaniel the fulfillment of all His promises.

A remembrance is something that has some form of tradition with it.

Easter will soon be here and so today I'm sharing a few resources that are available on the internet.

If you have any amazing resources that you have found please leave a link so I can add them to this list. My goal is to make 40 Days with Jesus and making a Jesus Tree

Easter Resources Round-Up

Shrove Tuesday
"The day before Ash Wednesday. Though named for its former religious significance, it is chiefly marked by feasting and celebration, which traditionally preceded the observance of the Lenten fast."
Lent
"The 40 weekdays from Ash Wednesday until Easter observed by Christians as a season of fasting and penitence in preparation for Easter."

Reflecting on the gift of our Saviour at Easter (Hallelujah by Kelley Mooney)


  • Lyrics by: Kelley Mooney
  • Sung by: Kelley Mooney
  • Album:  Tomorrow (iTunes & CDbaby)
  • Musicians:
    Piano: Brigitte Lavoie
    Double Bass: Monica Lang
    Violin: Marie-Andrée Gaudet
    Percussions: Joey Roy


A crown of thorns placed on His head
He knew that He would soon be dead
He said did you forget me Father did you?
They nailed Him to a wooden cross
Soon all the world would feel the loss
Of Christ the King before His Hallelujah

Hallelujah x4

He hung His head and prepared to die
Then lifted His face up to the sky
Said I am coming home now Father to you
A reed which held His final sip
Was gently lifted to his lips
He drank His last and gave His soul to glory

Hallelujah x4

The soldier who had used his sword
To pierce the body of our Lord
Said truly this is Jesus Christ our Savior
He looked with fear upon his sword
Then turned to face his Christ and Lord
Fell to his knees crying Hallelujah

Hallelujah x4

Took from his head the thorny crown
And wrapped him in a linen gown
And laid him down to rest inside the tomb
The holes in his hands, his feet and side
Now in our hearts we know he died
To save us from ourselves oh hallelujah

Hallelujah x4

Three days went by again they came
To move the stone to bless the slain
With oil and spice anointing hallelujah
But as they went to move the stone
They saw that they were not alone
But Jesus Christ has risen Hallelujah

Egglo Entertainment {Review}

We love all things glow in the dark around here.  Sir N especially enjoys searching for things and recently we have added Glow in the Dark Egglo Eggs to our list of items in the house from Egglo Entertainment.  The companies goal is to create a product that would empower parents and those working with children with products that would help children clearly see the light of Jesus in the dark through practical hands on ways. 

We Received



What we did
Glow in the Dark Egglo Eggs: Sir N loved receiving the eggs and book in the mail. They are made of a strong durable plastic in four colours. The blue and green egg halves have a cross embossed on them and the pink and yellow ones are smooth. The egg halves clip into each other to form an egg shape.  These can be filled with anything from candy to scripture scrolls. Once they have been fully charged they glow brightly for approximately 45 minutes and then gradually diminish over the next one to two hours.

When they arrived he grabbed the box of eggs and spent the afternoon playing with them.  Mixing and matching the colours.  Hiding the eggs and finding them.  He couldn't wait to see what they looked like charged so they were carefully placed in the box and taken outside into the sun to charge up.

The motivation to create the glow in the dark eggs is found in John 1:5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. Charging the eggs did not take long at all.  Included in the box is a pamphlet explaining how to charge the eggs for maximum glo effect.

The next day we took sometime to read The Egg-cellent Easter Adventure.
  • 40 pages
  • Author: Darcie Cobos
  • Illustrated by: Golden Streen Animations 

Sir N loved looking at the illustrations which are eye catching and contribute to each part of the story.  The story follows the quest of cousins Hardy, Anastasia, Pascal and their pet dog Zeke.  Not only do they travel through time, they explore many different places and discover what it truly means to follow Jesus and internalise His word and how to apply it to their day to day activities.  As the children discover each egg they are presented with a scripture and a riddle.  Once the riddle has been solved and they understand the scriptural application of the scripture they are transported to the next part of their journey.  Some of the places they visit are Egypt, Easter Island and Iceland. 

Follow the three as they learn what it means to lead and follow.  We enjoyed seeing them mature and grow towards a fuller understanding of Jesus and just what He did for them at Calvary.

At the start of the story these three children are self focused and selfish by the time they return home they have come to understand what submission and walking in the light of Jesus truly means.  There are many life application situations which speak directly to the heart of the matter for your children in this story.

Some of the life application lessons learned are: Don't be bossy, submit one to another;  Do not be afraid for the Lord is always with you;  Listen to the wise and do not be foolish are just three of the life lessons learned.

The book concludes with the children being returned home, realising the Easter is not about chocolate and egg hunts it's all about Jesus and the gift He gave.  It focuses children's hearts on the reason we celebrate Easter. The children then join their parents and enjoy a glo in the dark Easter egg hunt where their parents are surprised by the changes they see in their children's behaviour.

We both enjoyed this book.  You can view an overview of the complete story over on YouTube.

The Egg-cellent Easter Adventure (audio book) The audio book is beautifully narrated by Dick Wells.  A gentle tinkle of a bell indicates when it's time for the children to turn the page and follow the story.  This is a great way for children to hear the story over and over or for a presentation at church. Before using this you need to explain to the children that when they hear the bell it's time to turn the page.
 The format of this reading has some extra musical sounds to help enhance the story.  For example when the children arrive in Egypt there is some Egyptian music.

The Egg-cellent Easter Adventure Program Guide
  • Illustrated by Golden Street Animation Productions
  • Written & edited by Elaina Meyers
  • Pages: 62

This guide is just brimming with ideas to help you make Easter come alive for your children in a practical way with your children by making Jesus the center of every activity and pointing their hearts to Him. All the activities are family friendly and fun.

There are ideas for decorating, snack suggestions, devotions with object lessons, Q & A

Each snack/devotion suggestion gives you a full list of what you need, preparations and step by step tutorials along with questions to ask the students which help focus their attention on what Jesus did and how He is the light of the world.  I'm looking forward to using more of these ideas as we get closer to Easter.



There is a section of ideas to use alongside the The Egg-cellent Easter Adventure book and the scripture scrolls.

All the additional resources are in the book from page 19-58. There are invitations, decorations, resources to fill the eggs, discussion cards, puzzles, posters and coloring pages.  You can see a full range of sample pages on the website.


Egglo Treasures Scripture Scrolls Scripture is at the heart of this story. Learning how to live by His word and allowing it to be a light to our path in every day life.  Jesus is real and His light can shine through us as we walk in the light of His word and apply the truth of that light allowing it to shine through us.

Each scroll contains a simple verse based on: 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, Deuteronomy 6:5, proverbs 3:5-6, Matthew 5:16 and 28:20, John 1:4, 1:5, 3:16, 8:12 and 12:46. There are 12 verses in all.

In the Future
We will be decorating an egg carton and for the twelve days leading up to Easter I will be doing an Easter countdown with a scroll and a small item symbolizing some part of the Easter story.  I will hide the egg in the house and after dinner give Sir N a clue as to where to find it.  This will conclude with the resurrection and that Jesus is the light of the world on Easter Sunday.  He will then store the found egg and it's contents in the special egg carton we have decorated.  (I will update here with pictures upon completion of his collection.) My aim is to focus his heart on the incredible gift of the Light of the World who came down to save us.  


Would we change anything ?
We love all the aspects of Egglo and their products. The quality is excellent and a lot of thought has been put into each product.  The only recommendation I would make is for the audio book: it would be helpful if the narrator took some time to explain to the children how to know when to turn the page as he reads.  Something like "When you hear this sound *ting* it is time to turn the page"

 Cost
  • Glow in the Dark Egglo Eggs ($11.99)
  • The Egg-cellent Easter Adventure ($12.99)
  • The Egg-cellent Easter Adventure (book audio download) ($2.99)
  • Egglo Treasures Scripture Scrolls ($4.29)
  • The Egg-cellent Easter Adventure Program Guide ($14.99)

Connect with Eggo Entertainment

What we thought
We both enjoyed reading The Egg-cellent Easter Adventure and following the adventure. The glow in dark eggs have been a huge hit with Sir N.  The possibilities of use are only limited by your imagination.  The product is well priced and worth purchasing you will get many years of use from them.

40 Days with Jesus and making a Jesus Tree

Next week Wednesday the 5th of March marks the beginning of Lent in the church calender. I'm relatively new to celebrating lent but it is enriching our families understanding of what the Lord did for us that I'm going to be re-purposing our Jesse Tree and using it to make a Jesus tree for the next forty days. I've downloaded and printed the graphics as well as the devotional reading plan. We will be on holidays next week but I'm planning on taking this devotional along with us.
40 Days with Jesus


This is too good not to share ! Collette over at The Art of Being Mama has made and shared this wonderful resource for us.  It is an Easter devotion {40 Days with Jesus} Jesus Tree continuing the story of the Jesse Tree from Christmas.

Collette has provided the Daily Bible Readings for us as well as beautiful graphics (she has personally hand drawn each ornament) to colour, cut and hang on your Jesus tree.

The devotional contains your daily outline.  She has provided scripture references as well as the Ergermeir Bible page reference.
For more ideas on lent have a look at the Lent Pinterest Board and this post Ideas for LENT from Pinterest.  What will you and your family be doing together this lent ?

Blessings

I love a book with beautiful illustrations and this one definitely fulfills that criteria. From the dust jacket: Featuring the beloved setting and characters from the best-selling Legend of the Candy Cane, this moving story about Thomas and Lucy takes us deeper into the mystery of Christianity. When his older sister Lucy falls sick, Thomas goes to stay with John and Mary Sonneman at their candy store. But all the candy he could desire does not cure Thomas's aching heart. Only when Mary Sonneman shares with him the story of Easter does he understand the hope he has -- and what he can do for his sister..

The book is available from: Amazon, Fishpond, Book Depository.
