Understanding Emotions Through Scripture

In this section, we’re going to explore how the Bible can help us understand and deal with our feelings. From moments of joy to times of sadness, fear, and everything in between, we’ll explore how biblical teachings offer insights and guidance to navigate the wide range of emotions with faith and understanding. So, let’s dive into how the Bible can help us make sense of our emotions and learn to handle them better.

Identifying Common Emotions

Together, let’s look at 12 common emotions: joy, fear, sadness, anger, love, happy, lonely, confused, mad, calm, tired, excited, and worried.

Joy

Joy is a deep feeling of happiness and contentment that comes from within. It’s more than just temporary pleasure; it’s a sense of inner peace and fulfillment that transcends circumstances. Joy is a fundamental emotion that children experience in various situations. The Bible is replete with verses that emphasize the importance of joy. Additionally, characters like David exemplify joy through praise and gratitude, despite facing challenges.

Bible Verses with Joy:

Psalm 126:3 “The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.”
Galatians 5:22 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
Romans 15:13 “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in faith so that you overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit”.

Example of Bible Stories with Joy:

Genesis 21: Abraham, Sarah, and Isaac.
Matthew 2: The Birth of Jesus and the Wisemen’s Excitement
Psalm 51: David’s prayer to the Lord

Fear

Fear is that fluttery feeling in your stomach when something seems scary or unknown. It’s like when you’re afraid of the dark or worried about what might happen next. Fear can make your heart race and your palms sweaty, but it’s also a normal emotion that helps keep us safe by alerting us to potential dangers. In the Bible, fear often comes up when people face challenges or uncertainties, but it also teaches us to trust in God’s protection and guidance. Stories of courage, such as David facing Goliath, inspire children to trust in God’s protection.

Bible Verses about Fear:

Isaiah 41:10 “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
1 John 4:18 “There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.”
Psalm 23:4 “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”

Examples of Bible Stories with Fear:

1 Samuel 17: David and Goliath
Matthew 14:22-33: Jesus Walks on Water
Mark 4:35-41: Jesus Calms the Storm

Sadness

Sadness is a natural emotion that children may experience during times of loss or disappointment. However, the Bible provides comfort and hope in moments of sadness. The story of Joseph’s reconciliation with his brothers demonstrates God’s ability to turn sorrow into joy.

Scripture References about Sadness:

Psalm 34:18 “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
John 16:33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
Psalm 31:9 “Be merciful to me, Lord, for I am in distress; my eyes grow weak with sorrow.”

Examples of Bible Stories with Sadness:

John 11: The Death of Lazarus (Jesus wept.)
2 Samuel 12:15-23: David’s son dies
Jeremiah 9:1: Jeremiah is often referred to as the weeping prophet.

Anger

Anger is another emotion that children must learn to manage constructively. In many cases, it can be used interchangeably with mad. Ephesians 4:26 advises, “In your anger do not sin.” Jesus’ example of righteous anger in cleansing the temple teaches children the importance of standing up for what is right without letting anger control their actions.

Bible Verses about Anger:

James 1:20 “Anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.”
Psalm 37:8 “Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil.”
Ephesians 4:26 “In your anger do not sin.”

Examples of Anger in Bible Stories:

Matthew 21:12-17: Jesus Flips Tables in the Temple
1 Samuel 19: Saul tries to kill David
Genesis 4: Cain and Abel

Love

Love is a foundational principle emphasized throughout the Bible. Verses like 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 describe love as patient, kind, and forgiving. The story of the Good Samaritan illustrates the importance of showing love and compassion to others, regardless of differences.

Bible Verses with Love:

John 13:34-35 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
1 Corinthians 13:13 “And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.”
Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

Examples of Bible Stories on Love :

Luke 10:25-37: The Parable of the Good Samaritan
Luke 15:11-32: The Parable of the Lost Son
1 Corinthians 13: Definition of Love

Happy

Happiness is that awesome feeling when everything just seems right in the world. In the Bible, there are verses that remind us to appreciate the good times. Like in Psalm 118:24, which says, “This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” So, when you’re feeling happy, remember to thank God for all the good stuff happening around you.

Scriptures on Happiness:

Psalm 118:24 “This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”
Proverbs 15:13 “A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit.”
Psalm 37:4 Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Examples of Happy Bible Stories:

Exodus 15:20-21: Miriam rejoices for crossing the Red Sea on dry ground
Luke 15:11-32: The Prodigal Son
Genesis 46:29-34: Joseph reunites with his father

Lonely

Loneliness is a poignant emotion that children may encounter when they feel isolated or disconnected from others. It’s like a shadow that follows them, reminding them of their longing for companionship and belonging. In the Bible, there are verses that remind us we’re never truly alone. Like in Psalm 27:10, that mentions even if our moms and dads leave us, God would still be there. So, when a child is feeling lonely, remind them that God is our forever friend, ready to keep you company and bring you comfort, just like a warm hug from a loved one.

Bible Verses on Loneliness:

Joshua 1:9 “The Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
Isaiah 41:10 “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
John 14:18 “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.”

Stories of Loneliness in the Bible:

Jeremiah 15: Jeremiah’s Lamentations
Matthew 26:36-46: Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane
Genesis 37:12-36: Joseph Sold by His Brothers

Confused

Confusion is like trying to solve a puzzle without all the pieces – it can leave you feeling lost and unsure. But even in those moments, the Bible offers guidance and reassurance. In 1 Corinthians 14:33, it says, “For God is not a God of confusion but of peace.” So, when you’re feeling confused, remember to turn to God for clarity and peace, just like finding your way with a trusted guide.

Bible Verses on Disorder:

1 Corinthians 14:33 “For God is not a God of confusion but of peace.”
James 3:16 “For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.”
1 Corinthians 14:40: “But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way.”

Examples of Bible Stories with Confusion:

Jonah 2: Jonah in the Whale
Genesis 11:1-9: The Tower of Babel
Acts 2:1-13: The Holy Spirit Comes at Pentecost

Calm

Calm, peace, or tranquility is a serene state of mind that children may experience when they feel a sense of inner quiet and contentment. It’s like a gentle breeze that soothes the soul and brings a sense of relaxation amidst life’s storms. In the Bible, there are scriptures that offer comfort and assurance of God’s presence in bringing calmness to our hearts. For instance, in Philippians 4:6-7, it says, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” This verse reminds us that God’s peace surpasses all human understanding and brings a deep sense of tranquility to our lives. Just as joy brings happiness and contentment, experiencing God’s peace allows children to find rest and solace in His presence, no matter the circumstances they face. God has it!

Bible Verses on Peace:

Matthew 5:9 “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.”
John 14:27 “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid”.
Psalm 29:11 “The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace.”

Examples of Bible Stories on Calm in Chaos:

Mark 4:35-41: Jesus in the Storm
Acts 16:16-40: Paul and Silas in Prison
Daniel 6:10-23: Daniel in the Lions’ Den

Tired

Tiredness or exhaustion is a common feeling that children may experience after a long day of activities or when they’re feeling physically or emotionally drained. It’s like a heavy blanket weighing them down, making it difficult to find energy or motivation. In the Bible, there are verses that offer comfort and strength to those who are tired or weary. For instance, in Isaiah 40:31, it says, “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” This verse reminds us that God provides the strength we need to overcome exhaustion and persevere through challenging times. Just as joy brings happiness and contentment, finding renewal in God’s strength helps children navigate through moments of tiredness and exhaustion with resilience and perseverance.

Bible Verses on Exhaustion:

Isaiah 40:31 “Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.”
Matthew 11:28: “Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
Colossians 1:10-11 “So that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience.”

Examples of Bible Stories with Exhaustion:

Judges 16: Samson and Delilah
Jonah 4:5-11: Jonah Resting Under the Vine
1 Kings 19:1-8: Elijah Flees to Horeb

Excited

Excitement is a thrilling feeling that children often experience when they’re looking forward to something special or anticipating an upcoming event. It’s like a bubbling energy inside them, making them feel eager and enthusiastic. In the Bible, there are verses that celebrate moments of excitement and anticipation. For example, in Psalm 37:4, it says, “Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” This verse reminds us that God delights in our excitement and desires to bring us joy. Just as joy brings happiness and contentment, excitement adds a spark of anticipation to our lives, reminding children that there’s always something wonderful to look forward to.

Bible Verses with Zeal:

Psalm 150:6 “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.”
Romans 12:11 “Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. 12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.”
Psalm 122:1 “I rejoiced with those who said to me, “Let us go to the house of the Lord.'”

Examples of Bible Stories with Excitement:

Matthew 21:1-11: Palm Sunday – The Triumphal Entry of Jesus into Jerusalem
Acts 2:1-4: The Day of Pentecost
Exodus 14:21-22: The Israelites Cross the Red Sea through a Wall of Water

Worried

Worry is a common feeling that children may experience when they feel anxious or uncertain about something. It’s like a cloud that hangs over their thoughts, making them feel uneasy or restless. In the Bible, there are verses that offer comfort and reassurance to those who are worried or with anxiety. For instance, in Matthew 6:25-34, Jesus encourages His followers not to worry about their needs, assuring them that God cares for them deeply. Just as joy is a foundational emotion, so is finding peace amidst worry, and the Bible provides guidance and comfort to children facing anxious moments.

Bible Verses on Anxiety:

1 Peter 5:7 “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.”
Matthew 6:34 “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
Matthew 6:25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?”

Examples of Bible Stories with Worry:

Acts 16:16-40: Paul and Silas in Prison
Daniel 6: Daniel in the Lion’s Den
Matthew 6:25-34: List of Reasons not Worry

Then, we’ll explore fun and engaging ways to teach these timeless principles, including a hands-on printable activity.

Let’s take a look.

The Ten Commandments Story

The Old Testament story of Moses receiving the Ten Commandments is a key moment in the Bible, found in the book of Exodus. Here’s a concise version of the story:

The Call of Moses

Moses, once a prince of Egypt who fled to the land of Midian where he was called by God from a burning bush. God tasked him to lead the Israelites out of slavery in the land of Egypt.

The Exodus

After God performed miraculous plagues to compel Pharaoh to let the Israelites go, Moses led them out of Egypt. They crossed the Red Sea and journeyed into the desert towards Mount Sinai (also known as Mount Horeb).

Receiving the Commandments

At Mount Sinai, God called Moses to the top of the mountain. There, God gave Moses the Ten Commandments, laws that were meant to guide the moral and spiritual conduct of the Israelites. God’s good rules were written by God on two stone tablets.

The Purpose

The Ten Commandments were given as part of a covenant between God and the Israelites. They were meant to set the Israelites apart from other nations, guiding them in a life of righteousness and justice, and laying the foundation for their relationship with God. The commandments covered aspects of worship, personal conduct, and justice, aiming to create a harmonious society under God’s sovereignty.

This event is pivotal, symbolizing not just the legal and ethical foundation for the Israelites but also God’s direct intervention and care for His chosen people.

How do you explain the 10 Commandments to a child?

The Ten Commandments are a set of rules given by God to the people of Israel, meant to guide them in living a life that’s pleasing to God and respectful to others.

The Ten Commandments are found in Exodus 20:1-17.

The chapter begins,

“And God spoke all these words:^‘I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.'” (verses 1-2)

Here’s a simple breakdown of The Ten Commandments explained in simple terms for younger children:

1.) You shall have no other gods before Me.

First Commandment Bible Verse

“You shall have no other gods before me.” (verse 3)

Simple Explanation for Kids

Imagine you have a super special best friend who loves you more than anything. That friend is God. God asks us to make sure He is our number one buddy, our superhero. He doesn’t want us to think toys, games, or anything else is more important than Him. He loves us a whole bunch, and He wants us to love Him back the most. Just like when you have a favorite toy, but God wants to be even more special than that toy. God talks about this in a big book called the Bible, and even Jesus said it’s the most important rule: Love God more than anything else. (Matthew 22:37–38)

Practical Questions for Kids

Is something more important to you than God?
What do you think about first thing in the morning and last thing at night?
How do we show God that He is special to us?
Who do we talk to when we’re scared or worried?

This means we should only worship God and make Him the most important thing in our lives.

2.) You shall not make idols.

Second Commandment Bible Verse

“You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.” (Verses 4-6)

Simple Explanation for Kids

God tells us not to make things like idols of sports, toys, pictures, or statues and pretend they’re super special or magical, like pretending they can listen to us or help us like God can. It’s a bit like when we make a drawing or a Lego building, but we shouldn’t act like these things are as amazing as God. God is like our number one hero, and no superhero toy or movie character should take His place in our hearts. Sometimes, people make things and treat them like they’re super important, almost like they can do what God can do, but that’s not true. God is way more special than anything we can make.

Practical Questions for Kids

Do I make idols of sports heroes or entertainment figures?
Have I wanted more things making things or money more important than God?
Do I have toys or have I made things that are more important to me than God?

We shouldn’t create or worship anything or anyone more than we do God, including toys, celebrities, or money.

3.) You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.

Third Commandment Bible Verse

“You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.” (verse 7)

Simple Explanation for Kids

God’s name is very, very special, like a treasure. We should never use it in a mean, angry, or scary way. Sometimes, people might say God’s name when they’re surprised or upset, but that’s not nice or respectful. God’s name should only be used when we’re talking to Him, praying, or saying nice things about Him. Think of it as using your friend’s name kindly and with love. We shouldn’t pretend that God says it’s okay to do mean things. God’s name is for loving and kind words, not for being used in a bad way.

Practical Questions for Kids

Do I use God’s name carelessly?
Do I use God’s name in anger?
Do I speak of God with respect and love?
Have I ever used God’s name when I’m upset or frustrated?
Do I remember to use God’s name only in a kind and honoring way?
Am I careful with how I say God’s name in my conversations?

We should speak respectfully about God and use His name with care, not as a swear word or in a disrespectful way.

4.) Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

Fourth Commandment Bible Verse

“Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.” (verses 8 – 11)

Simple Explanation for Kids

God has a special day called the Sabbath, and it’s like a rest day or a super special holiday for our hearts. It’s a day when we don’t have to do any work, like homework or chores, and instead, we get to relax, play gently, and think about how awesome God is. Just like after a long week of playing and learning, we take a day off to chill out, God did the same thing when He made the world. He worked for six days making everything, and on the seventh day, He took a big, relaxing breath. So, God wants us to have a special day every week to rest and remember Him, because resting is good for us and it’s a way to say “thank you” to God for all He does.

Practical Questions for Kids

What special things do we do to make the Sabbath different from other days?
How can we show that the Sabbath day is important to us?
Do I take time to rest and think about God on the Sabbath?
What activities do I avoid on the Sabbath to keep it holy?
Do I look forward to the Sabbath as a day of rest and worship?

One day a week, we should rest and spend time thinking about God, similar to how we have a day off from school to relax.

5.) Honor your father and your mother.

Fifth Commandment Bible Verse

“Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.” (verse 12)

Simple Explanation for Kids

God wants us to be really good to the people who look after us, like our parents or guardians. Everyone has their own special way of showing respect and listening to them because they have lots of experience and can teach us how to stay safe and happy. When we are kind, listen, and help out at home, we are showing that we care. God says that being good to our caregivers helps make our lives better and the world a nicer place to live in. It’s a way of saying “thank you” to them and to God for giving us such great families and homes.

Practical Questions for Kids

Do I obey my parents?
Have I done my chores without complaining?
Have I been disrespectful to teachers, leaders, coaches, or others in charge of me?
Do I listen carefully when my parents are talking to me?
What are some ways I can help my parents without being asked?

This means we should listen to our parents, respect them, and help out at home.

6.) You shall not murder.

Sixth Commandment Bible Verse

“You shall not murder.” (verse 13)

Simple Explanation for Kids

God tells us that it’s very important to always be kind to others and never hurt anyone on purpose. Everyone’s life is a special gift from God, and it’s not okay to take that away or decide when someone’s life should end. We should always use our words and actions to show love and care, not to make others sad or hurt. It’s like how we know it’s wrong to break someone’s toy, but it’s much, much more serious when it comes to hurting people. God wants us to protect each other and help everyone feel safe and happy.

Practical Questions for Kids

Do I keep my patience or do I lose my temper?
Do I hold grudges and try to get even with others?
Have I been unfair to others, especially those who are different than I am?
Why is life special and important to protect?
How can we be a good friend and keep others safe?

We should never hurt others. This teaches us the importance of being kind and valuing everyone’s life.

7.) You shall not commit adultery.

Seventh Commandment Bible Verse

“You shall not commit adultery.” (verse 14)

Simple Explanation for Kids

God teaches us that when two people get married, they make a very special promise to always be there for each other and to share their love and life. It’s like promising a best friend, but even stronger. When you make a promise at a wedding, you are entering into a covenant, forever. God wants everyone to keep their promises, especially the ones made when getting married because those promises are very important. It helps everyone feel loved and safe, just like when you make a promise to a friend and you keep it, it makes your friendship stronger and happier.

Practical Questions for Kids

What does it mean to be loyal to someone?
Do I show respect for my body?
Do I respect the bodies of others?
What does it mean to be committed to helping and caring for our family and friends?
Why is it important to keep promises to our friends and family?

This is a rule for grown-ups, teaching them to be faithful to their spouses. For kids, it means we should be loyal and trustworthy friends.

8.) You shall not steal.

Eighth Commandment Bible Verse

“You shall not steal.” (verse 15)

Simple Explanation for Kids

God tells us that we shouldn’t take things that belong to someone else. Imagine if you had a favorite toy, and someone took it without asking; you’d feel sad, right? That’s why taking things without permission is not nice. God wants us to be happy with what we have and to ask if we need something, instead of just taking it. It’s important to share and to treat others the way we want to be treated, with kindness and respect.

Practical Questions for Kids

Why is it wrong to take things that don’t belong to us?
How would you feel if someone took something of yours without asking?”
What should you do if you find something that doesn’t belong to you?
Why is it important to ask for permission before using someone else’s things?
How can we show respect for other people’s belongings?
Have I “forgotten” to return something that I borrowed?

Taking something that isn’t yours, without permission, is wrong.

9.) You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

Ninth Commandment Bible Verse

“You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.” (verse 16)

Simple Explanation for Kids

God teaches us that it’s really important to always tell the truth, especially about other people. Imagine if someone said you did something you didn’t do; that wouldn’t feel nice, would it? That’s why we shouldn’t make up stories or lies about others. Sometimes, it might be scary to tell the truth because we think we might get in trouble, but being honest is always the best choice. God wants us to be kind and fair, just like how we would want others to be truthful when they talk about us. Telling the truth helps everyone trust each other and keeps our hearts happy and clean.

Practical Questions for Kids

What does it mean to tell the truth about others?
How do you feel when someone tells a lie about you?
How can telling lies about others hurt their feelings or cause problems?
Why do you think God wants us to speak truthfully about our friends/neighbors?
What can you do if someone asks you to keep a secret that involves lying about someone else?

We should always tell the truth and not lie about others.

10.) You shall not covet.

Tenth Commandment Bible Verse

“You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.” (verse 17)

Simple Explanation for Kids

God tells us to be happy with the toys, games, and things we have, and not to be upset or jealous about what other kids have. Imagine if your friend has a really cool new toy, and instead of being happy for them, you feel sad or mad because you want it too. God wants us to learn to be thankful for our own things and to celebrate when our friends have nice things too. It’s like being happy with your slice of cake at a party and not being sad because someone else’s slice looks bigger or yummier. God loves it when we share joy and aren’t wishing for everyone else’s stuff.

Practical Questions for Kids

What does it mean to be happy with what you have?
Why is it important not to be jealous of others’ things?
How can you celebrate someone else’s happiness or success?
What are some ways to show gratitude for what we have?
How does being thankful make us feel better?

We shouldn’t be jealous of what others have, whether it’s their toys, clothes, or anything else. Instead, we should be thankful for what we have.

How to Set Up Your Scavenger Hunt for Dad

Craft the perfect adventure with a little DIY and personalization from the kids. Prepare the clues and personalize the hide-and-seek adventure to create a special hunt for dad.

Preparing the Clues

Print the Scavenger Hunt Clue Cards: We’ve made it easy by creating 20 scavenger hunt clues for him. Download the scavenger hunt and cut out the clue cards. In this print-and-play set, choose the clues that fit your home and your dad’s quirks and personality to make it a better experience. For example, if your dad doesn’t play golf, leave out the clue that would be found with the golf clubs.
Personalize Your Clues: With each clue card, utilize the bonus. We added 24 Editable Coupons included in our printable set. Personalize them using the free Adobe PDF version to cater specifically to your dad’s interests and hobbies.
Strategic Placement: Save the first clue card. You will keep this to start the hunt. Then hide each clue in a location that is meaningful or amusing for your dad. While the locations are already determined, consider utilizing the props around the object related to inside jokes or fond memories. Strategically place the fun clues in spots that spark nostalgia, tickle his funny bone, or challenge his inner Sherlock. For example, if one of the clues is “at the grill” leave a funny note or object on the grill with the clue. One example could be burnt buns symbolizing the last time Dad overcooked the bread and almost burnt the house down. With the placement, add a cute coupon for Dad that says “Good for One Uber Eats Meal.” Placement and personalized details are what will bring laughter and memories.

Creative Ideas for an Engaging Hunt

Mix Physical and Intellectual Challenges: Combine clues that require physical activity with those that need problem-solving skills. Make your scavenger hunt extra challenging when you add short puzzles like riddles, problem-solving puzzles, dad jokes he must solve, or even Sodku puzzles.
Incorporate Dad’s Favorites: Tailor the hunt around his favorite hobbies, books, or movies. Have small trinkets, prizes, or a hidden gift with each of the clue cards. Or have a giant gift with the last clue.
Involve the Whole Family: Turn it into a family affair, where each member can contribute to the planning or participate in the hunt. There is no child too small, no adult too stoic. The whole family can add a small touch and contribute to the giggles.

Essential Materials

The following materials are necessary to create your printable thankful tree craft:

Printable Thankful Tree Template
Printer
Printer Paper or White Cardstock (we love this brand!)
Scissors
Glue Stick
Crayons or Markers

Once you have your template, you will need to print it on white cardstock (or paper) using a printer. Cardstock is a heavier-weight paper that will make your tree more durable.

Next, you will need scissors to cut out your tree and its branches. A glue stick is also essential to assemble your tree and attach your leaves.

Optional Enhancements

While the essential materials are all you need to create a beautiful thankful tree, there are a few optional enhancements that can take your craft to the next level. Consider adding the following to your craft:

Colored Cardstock: Using colored Autumn cardstock for your tree and leaves can add a pop of color to your craft.
Glitter: Adding glitter to your leaves can make your tree sparkle and shine.
Ribbon or Twine: Attaching a ribbon or twine to your tree can make it easy to hang or display.
Frame: Placing your thankful tree in a frame can make it a beautiful piece of decor for your home that can be shown year after year.

With these materials, you can create a beautiful and unique printable thankful tree that will remind you of all the things you are grateful for.

Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Your Thankful Tree Craft

Printing Your Tree

To begin creating your thankful tree craft, start by printing the thankful tree with leaves template on cardstock paper or printer paper. You can choose to print out the black and white copy or the colored copy. There are multiple tree stumps, some with a Bible Verse of Thanks, others without. The thankful tree with the Bible verse is perfect for a Sunday School Lesson in the classroom.

Adding Thankful Notes

Once you have printed the template, write down things you are thankful for on your leaves.

If necessary, color the leaves and the tree.

Assembling Your Craft

The final step is to add your thankful notes to the tree. Once everything is written and colored, cut out the tree and leaves carefully with scissors. After you have cut out your tree, it’s time to assemble your craft.

Using a glue stick, glue the thankful leaves to the tree tree with branches. Set it aside to dry.

Your printable thankful tree craft is now complete! You can also add more leaves as you think of more things to be thankful for. Hang it up in a prominent place in your home to remind you of all the things you are thankful for.

Adapting the Craft to Younger Kids

This project can easily be adapted to younger kids. With many thankful leaves, there is a lot to cut out. To adapt to younger kids, use fall-colored cardstock or construction paper and cut out leaves in bulk. Allow preschoolers to draw things they are thankful for on the pre-cut leaves. For emergent readers, they can sound out words or you can help them write their list of thanks.

Instead of cutting out the tree and branches, keep the tree on the 8.5″ x 11″ page. Kids can use a glue stick to stick the colored leaves to the sheet of paper. This will give you a finished product on a traditional-sized sheet of paper. Children can color the ground or sky as they desire.

Wrapping Up Your Craft Session

As the craft session comes to a close, it’s time to reflect on the wonderful memories created while making the printable thankful tree craft. This activity is perfect for expressing gratitude and appreciation for the people, places, and things that make life special.

Before wrapping up the craft session, make sure to follow these simple steps:

Take a moment to appreciate the finished product. Admire the colorful leaves and the heartfelt messages written on them.
Display the thankful tree in a prominent place where everyone can see it. It’s a great way to remind everyone to appreciate the good things in life.
Clean up the craft area and put away all the materials. This will ensure that everything is ready for the next craft session.
Encourage everyone to share their thoughts and feelings about the activity. This will help to reinforce the importance of gratitude and appreciation.

The printable thankful tree craft is a fun and meaningful activity that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By expressing gratitude and appreciation, we can create a more positive and fulfilling life.

Tips to Make Your Thankful Tree Craft More Engaging

Making a thankful tree craft can be a fun and meaningful way to celebrate the season of gratitude. Here are some tips to make your craft more engaging:

Use Colorful and Creative Materials

Using colorful and creative materials can make your thankful tree craft more engaging. Consider using different types of paper, such as patterned scrapbook paper or construction paper in various colors. You can also use different types of markers, pens, or paints to decorate the leaves and trunk of your tree. Using glitter or other embellishments can also add a fun and festive touch to your craft.

Involve the Whole Family

Making a thankful tree craft can be a great activity for the whole family to enjoy together. Encourage everyone to participate by writing down what they are thankful for on the leaves of the tree. You can also have each family member decorate their own leaf and add it to the tree. At Friendsgiving or the Thanksgiving Table, this can be a great way to start a conversation about gratitude and what everyone is thankful for.

Display Your Craft

Displaying your thankful tree craft can make it more engaging and meaningful. Consider placing it in a prominent location in your home, such as on a mantel or in a common area. You can also take a picture of your craft and share it on social media to inspire others to create their own thankful trees.

By using colorful and creative materials, involving the whole family, and displaying your craft, you can make your thankful tree craft more engaging and fun for everyone involved.

Bible Study Christmas Gift Ideas with Pun

My Bible study has grown and sometimes it’s hard to think of something creative and cute without spending an arm and leg. I was trying to come up with something creative for my girls, without baking (the holidays add enough calories) and this gift tag came to mind. Of course, there is nothing exciting over the gift of paper towels, but I love the pun and the message for the season!

Bible Study Christmas Gift Tag Supplies

Not many supplies are needed for this gift. First, I subscribe and save on Amazon to Bounty Paper towels. So these paper towel rolls were actually something I already had – that reminds me, I need to order MORE for our family! I needed 13 rolls to gift to my bible study girls and my leader.

I used twine that I keep in my gift wrapping drawers. Curling ribbon could be cute too. What about this black and white check ribbon?

You will also need our free printable. I give the link to that printable below as well as how to order your printable online so it is printed in the store – save on ink and paper. We got our gift tags for under $1.

Gift Tip! Pair this gift with scented holiday soap, cookie mix, cooking gadgets or tools, or make an entire basket of items and include this punny tag with a roll of paper towel!

Cancer Bible Verses about Healing & Comfort

Discover comfort and encouragement with our Cancer Bible Verse Scripture Cards. These beautifully designed Scripture cards feature Bible verses that provide hope and strength for those facing cancer or an illness. Share these uplifting scripture cards as a thoughtful gift or keep them close for personal reflection and inspiration with your own cancer journey.

Before I start this post, I want to tell you about an amazing friend, Heather at Passion for Savings. It was about 10 short weeks from the time Heather found out she had cancer until the time she took her last breath. She left an incredible impact on many in her short life. When I first discovered Heather had cancer, I made these cards immediately. In fact, the photos taken in this blog post of this set on the keychain are actually the Bible verses I sent her in the mail a few short weeks before her passing. (You can do the same, I got the keychain here.) Heather leaves behind a beautiful family including her husband Jonathan, and four precious children. Because I lack the words right not to tell you more about Heather, I will share with you the post I left on my personal Facebook page. I am forever grateful for this 13-year friendship. It will impact me until the day I pass, as well.

When I started blogging in 2008, I didn’t realize the direction it would take me. A little side hobby turned into a small business formed many deep friendships. One of those greatest friendships was with Heather Story Schisler.

Heather and I started our websites at about the same time. I initially found the internet to be very similar to a middle school hall of mean girls. There were few people I trusted outside of a tiny circle of friends.

I remember feeling like I had just entered the cool crowd when I got invited to a Skype room of 20 female bloggers. Heather was in that room and a side chat began. We made plans to hang out at our first conference, BlogHer in 2010. We were instant friends.

Heather’s smile was infectious. She had a love for Jesus. She had so much wisdom, really understood the profession, and was optimistic. She was always trying something new and with success. Often this profession holds secrets because (honestly) we are a bit in competition for real-estate space on the web. Heather and I both understood there was space for us both. I learned so much from her.

At our first conference, people confused us often. While some might find themselves annoyed, I loved it. This girl was amazing and I didn’t even care if they called me Heather. Later, we were identified as a twosome at conferences and Heather was my right-hand girl.

Since that time, Heather and I have been roommates maybe a half dozen times. We would travel to fun cities together nearly double that. Nashville, Chicago, San Diego, New York City, and even my home, Washington D.C. The times I wasn’t sharing a hotel room with her, she gave me the key to crash or drop off my belongings. I belonged. She was my girl.

“I’m starting hospice tomorrow” were some of her last words to me. I knew already but I took comfort in her telling me. I shared a quick message about our shared memories and being an amazing roommate. However, this conversation just felt so backward. An internet friendship with some of the last words about cancer and hospice… ironically shared over a social media platform that had first bonded us.

Yesterday, Heather lost her earthly body and joined Jesus in Heaven. My heart broke but I took peace in her new body. I took peace in that infectious smile entering the gates of Heaven. I took comfort in her relationship with Jesus and her final home.

I love you, Heather. I am thankful for our memories. When they come back I will rotate them into prayer over the Lord’s plans for your precious family. It will be a joyous reunion when we are one day roommates again in Heaven!

Now you know my amazing friend, Heather.

Cancer is a disease that affects millions of people worldwide. It can be a devastating diagnosis, not only for the patient but also for their loved ones. During this difficult cancer diagnosis time, many people turn to their faith for comfort and healing. The word of the Lord is a source of strength and hope for many, and there are numerous Bible verses that offer comfort and encouragement to those who are battling cancer or any illness or disease.

Understanding Cancer Through Bible Verses

Cancer is a complex illness that can be difficult to understand. Many thoughts and questions can run through one’s head when battling a sickness that feels out of control. However, the Holy Bible provides comfort and hope for those who are facing cancer equipping individuals with the power of the Holy Spirit and the truth of the Lord’s word. The following comforting and healing scriptures can help individuals understand cancer from a biblical perspective.

God is Sovereign

One of the most important things to remember when facing cancer is that God is sovereign. He is in control of all things, including cancer. Job 12:10 says, “In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.” This verse reminds us that God is the one who holds our lives in his hands. He is the one who gives us breath and sustains us. Therefore, we can trust him even in the midst of cancer to take care of us and our loved ones.

God is Good

Another important truth to remember is that God is good. Psalm 145:9 says, “The Lord is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made.” This verse reminds us that God is a good and compassionate God. He cares for us and desires our well-being. Even in the midst of cancer, we can trust that God is faithful and that he has our best interests in mind. We are children of God. He is writing an amazing book of our life and this day of trouble is a chapter.

God Provides Comfort

Finally, it is important to remember that God provides comfort to those who are suffering. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 says, “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.” This verse reminds us that God is the source of all comfort. He is our living hope. He is the one who can provide peace and hope in the midst of an illness.

In summary, understanding cancer through a biblical perspective involves recognizing that God is sovereign, that he is good, and that he provides comfort to those who are suffering.

Having the word of God in our hearts acts as a shield and sword. Hebrews 4:12 reminds us that “The word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.” Proverbs 30:5 states “Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.” The word of the Lord acts of armor to protect us from attacks from the enemy including worry, fear, and strife.

These truths can provide hope and comfort to those who are facing cancer.

Cancer Bible Verses Printable

This Cancer Bible Verses Printable is a powerful and uplifting resource that combines the strength of scripture with the hope and comfort needed during the challenging journey of battling cancer. It serves as a tangible reminder of God’s presence, love, and promise to never leave nor forsake His children in times of trial.

These carefully chosen verses offer solace, encouragement, and inspiration, reminding individuals that they are not alone in their fight. These Bible verses serve as a beacon of hope, reminding us of God’s faithfulness and His ability to bring healing, comfort, and peace amidst the storm. For example, a verse that provides comfort to those who are struggling with cancer is found in Psalm 23:4, which says, “Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” This verse reminds us that even in the darkest times, we are not alone. God is with us, providing comfort and guidance as we navigate through difficult circumstances.

The word of the Lord has great power. It is good medicine for the soul. We’ve put together a set of thirty-six comforting bible verses about healing, strength, and endurance. While we can’t guarantee full health or even good health, we can use these scripture cards to protect us from the enemy attacks of fear and negative thoughts filling our hearts and minds with the fruits of the spirit.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

Comforting Bible Verses Included:

The set comes with a selection of 36 bible verse cards, featuring powerful messages of hope, love, and strength. The cancer card set serves as a gentle reminder of faith, resilience, and the power of prayer.

Psalm 6:2

“Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am faint; heal me, Lord, for my bones are in agony.”

Psalm 41:3

“The Lord sustains them on their sickbed and restores them from their bed of illness.”

2 Corinthians 12:9-10

“But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.”

One of the most important things to consider when choosing a gift for someone with cancer is their specific needs and preferences. For example, if they are undergoing chemotherapy, they may appreciate a gift that will help them feel more comfortable during treatment, such as a cozy blanket or a soft pair of socks.

Inspirational books: Select books that offer encouragement, inspiration, and hope. Look for memoirs of cancer survivors, devotionals, or books that provide guidance for navigating the challenges of illness.

Supportive clothing or accessories: Look for clothing items that prioritize comfort, such as soft pajamas, a cozy robe, or silk headscarves. Additionally, a stylish and comfortable hat or cap can help during hair loss due to treatments.
Subscription services: Gift them a subscription to a service that can provide entertainment and distraction during treatment, such as a streaming service like Netflix, audiobook service, or a magazine subscription tailored to their interests.
Meal delivery service: Arrange for meal deliveries or gift cards to local restaurants to make meal preparation easier for them and their family. Alternatively, you can prepare and freeze homemade meals they can enjoy at their convenience.
Quality time and support: Offer your time and companionship by organizing activities or outings that align with their energy levels and preferences. A thoughtful gesture could be planning a relaxing spa day, getting a massage, a picnic in the park, or simply spending quality time together.

Ultimately, the best gifts for a breast cancer patient or someone with cancer are those that show your love and support while also being practical and helpful. It’s important to remember that everyone’s experience with cancer is different, so it’s essential to take the time to understand their needs and preferences before choosing a gift.

Jehovah-Rapha is one such name found in the Old Testament and means “The God who heals” in Hebrew. May the name of the Lord be your healer and comforter. May these uplifting Bible verses provide you peace, a joyful heart, and strength. My prayers are with you as you or your family member battles this illness.

Lord God, you are the father of mercies. A great physician. I pray for those mourning. I pray for those in fear and fighting cancer. Please protect these individuals. These faithful servants. May you wipe away every tear in a time of distress. May you be their steadfast love and treasured portion in a time when their flesh feels weak. May you daily be their living hope and fill their hearts with praise as they read your word. Fill their south with your truth. Provide a shield and sword through your word.

Teamwork, Bible knowledge, or icebreakers? Whatever the reason, these youth group games are fun and easy to play. Enjoy Minute to Win It games for kids, Bible trivia, fun challenges, and engaging activities for teens!

Youth group games are an important aspect of any youth program. They provide a fun and engaging way for young people to connect with each other, build relationships, and develop important life skills. Youth group games can be used to teach teamwork, communication, problem-solving, and leadership, among other things.

There are many different types of youth ministry games, ranging from classic outdoor games like Capture the Flag and Dodgeball to more complex team-building activities and problem-solving challenges like 5-second Bible trivia. The best youth group games are those that are inclusive, easy to learn, and adaptable to different group sizes and skill levels. They should also be age-appropriate and aligned with the goals and values of the youth program, the Bible, and of course, Jesus!

Whether you are a youth leader looking to plan a fun and engaging activity for your group, or a parent looking for ideas to keep your kids entertained and connected with their peers, youth group games are a great option to consider. With the right games and activities, you can create a positive and supportive environment that encourages young people to learn, grow, and thrive.

Understanding Youth Group Games

Youth group games are a popular way to engage and entertain young people in a group setting. These games can be used as icebreakers, team-building exercises, or just for fun. Understanding the basics of youth group games can help leaders plan successful events that will keep participants engaged and excited.

One important aspect of youth ministry games is that they should be inclusive and accessible to all participants. This means that the games should be designed to accommodate different skill levels and physical abilities. When games become challenging, consider pairing younger kids and older kids together. This creates teamwork and a mix of skill levels.

Another important consideration is the purpose of the game. Is it meant to encourage teamwork and cooperation, or is it just for fun? Are you creating a game to summarize a bible chapter or lesson? Understanding the goal of the game can help leaders select appropriate activities and ensure that participants are engaged and motivated. In most cases, traditional Minute to Win It Games can be adapted to fit biblical themes and Sunday school lessons.

When selecting games, it is also important to consider the size of the group and the available space. Some group games may require a large open space (like an auditorium or an outdoor field), while others can be played in a smaller space (like a classroom.) Leaders should also consider the age range of the participants and select games that are appropriate for their developmental level.

Let’s look at some examples of the best youth group games you might want to bring to your ministry.

Choosing the Right Game

When it comes to organizing games for a youth group, choosing the right game is crucial for a successful event. Here are some tips to help you select the right game for your group:

Consider the Age Group and Interests of Participants

The age group of your youth group will play a significant role in the type of game you choose. Younger children may not have the attention span for complicated games, while older teenagers may be more interested in games that involve strategy and competition. Additionally, consider the interests of your participants. If your group is full of sports enthusiasts, games that involve physical activity may be a hit. If your group is more creative, consider games that involve art or music.

Determine the Group Size and Space Available

The size of your group and the space available will also impact the type of game you choose. Games that require a lot of space may not be suitable for smaller groups or indoor game locations. Similarly, games that require a lot of equipment may not be feasible if you have a limited budget or space.

Keep Safety in Mind

Safety should always be a top priority when selecting games for a youth group. Avoid games that may be dangerous or involve physical contact that could lead to injury. Make sure to provide proper supervision and equipment for any games that involve physical activity.

Fun youth group games are an excellent way to promote teamwork, build relationships, and have fun. With a wide variety of games available, it’s easy to find one that fits your group’s interests and needs. One popular game that’s liked by all kids of different ages and genders is one-minute games.

It’s a good idea to have a designated scorekeeper to keep track of points and ensure that the games are played fairly. Make sure to explain the rules, boundaries, and scoring system to all teams before starting the games. We include a Minute to Win It scorecard in the printable Bible games set.

Physical Activity Games

Physical activity games are a great way to get everyone moving and energized. These games can be adapted for different age groups and skill levels. Here are a few examples:

Capture the Flag – This classic game involves dividing players into two teams. Each team has a flag that they must protect while trying to capture the other team’s flag. The game is won when one team successfully captures the other team’s flag and brings it back to the team’s base.
Ultimate Frisbee – This fast-paced game is similar to soccer or football but played with a frisbee. The objective is to pass the frisbee down the field and score points by catching it in the opposing team’s end zone.

Adventure Games

Adventure games offer a chance for participants to explore and test their limits. These games can be especially exciting for older youth groups.

Examples include:

Survival Game – In this game, participants are given a set of challenges to complete in a wilderness setting. Challenges can include building a shelter, starting a fire, and finding food and water. They are great for summer camps.
Geocaching – Geocaching involves using GPS coordinates to find hidden treasures. Participants can work in teams to find as many caches as possible within a set time frame.

Overall, outdoor youth group games offer a chance for participants to have fun, build relationships, and develop important life skills.

Whatever the season, these party games for kids are perfect for a youth group. Unless stated, they are kid-friendly, and in our mind, kid-friendly means church approved.

Benefits of Youth Group Games

If you were wondering, Youth group games offer a variety of benefits that help young people grow and develop in various ways. While you might realize many of the benefits of games for kids, there are a few reasons you might not have considered.

1. Socialization

Games for youth groups provide an opportunity for young people to interact with others and develop social skills. They learn how to communicate, cooperate, and work together towards a common goal. This helps them build relationships and friendships that can last a lifetime.

2. Physical Activity

Many youth ministry games involve physical activity, which is beneficial for young people’s health and well-being. Physical activity helps them stay active and healthy, and it also helps them develop coordination and motor skills. They can release endorphins for mental wellness.

3. Mental Stimulation

Small group games can also provide mental stimulation, which is important for young people’s cognitive development. They learn problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and decision-making, which can help them in other areas of their lives.

4. Emotional Development

Youth group games can also help young people develop emotionally. They learn how to deal with winning and losing, how to handle frustration and disappointment, and how to manage their emotions in a healthy way.

5. Fun and Enjoyment

Finally, games for ministry offer young people a chance to have fun and enjoy themselves. This is important for their overall well-being and helps them develop a positive attitude towards life.

It’s clear why we need games in addition to lessons. Overall, youth group games can be a fun and effective way to engage young people in a group setting. They are great as icebreakers or lesson summaries. By understanding the basics of game selection and design, leaders can create successful events that are enjoyable and engaging for all participants.

What should I teach in Sunday school?

There are a variety of ways to teach kids about the Bible in Sunday school. For younger kids, it’s best to choose one theme, lesson, or Bible verse to focus on during your Sunday school. It’s a good idea to keep in mind that younger kids will prefer engaging activities rather than simply speaking about the Bible. Sunday school coloring pages, games, and crafts will keep those younger students invested while they learn everything about the Bible!

When remembering verses from the bible, use a Bible Verse Card. Cards with bible verses are also great for words of encouragement placed on a mirror, in the car, as a Bible bookmark and more. We have Bible Verse Cards printables on Frugal Coupon Living shop.
