"But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give a reason for the hope you have. But do this with gentleness and respect." 1 Peter 3:15

The Star

On Thursday we learned about the meaning behind the star. This one is pretty easy and most people would be able to figure out the star. I asked the kids why they think we put a star on the top of our Christmas tree. Kayla immediately told about the star in the sky and guiding the Magi. Then, she proceeded to tell me that we don't have a star on the top of our tree, we have an angel...and why we have an angel (the angel came to Mary)...WOW! Thanks Kayla for keeping me in line...
Here are some pictures of us making a star as we apply what we've learned:
 





Then we had a little more fun...we made stars and decorated them with glitter!

When we had finished school for the day, the kids decided to go back and do more glitter...we went through 2 bottles of glue...but the kids had an amazing time!

"Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him." Matthew 2:2
