Parables and Teachings

Since today would have been when Jesus taught people in the temple and on the nearby hill, the Mount of Olives, we learned about a couple of parables.  We read a story on the parable of the ten virgins and then lit a lamp that used oil and a wick so they could see how that worked.  Maybe when they are older we will try making our own clay lamps that are a little more authentic.


We also read a story on the parable of the lost sheep.  I thought it would be an easy one to learn for the kids, even though He didn't teach this particular parable that day.  Then we used part of an egg carton to paint the lost sheep.  We obviously helped Ciera with her drawing before she painted it and Camden put the eyes on for her.




Ciera really wanted to paint something else with more colors. She asks to paint almost every day.
