It's #worldlovewednesday and for our #culturestudies I usually like to find a local business that we can support as a family. Since we have been studying India, I was super excited to try out the Indian restaurant down the street from our house. And let me tell you, we were not disappointed. If you live in the Twin Cities you need to take your family out to @thehyderabadusa . The staff are so friendly and helpful, and the food is delicious. Vale, of course, loved the naan, and Naomi loved everything. Let's just say this little person is like her mama and loves a good curry (I kid you not, Naomi ate over half of mine😱). My one disappointment is that we didn't come during the buffet time! ❤Who can pass up an Indian buffet, really? Not this girl. . . . #mkbkids #multiculturalkidsblogs #curry #indianfood #worldlovewednesdays #culturethroughplay

Any one else have a pile of half-empty sticker sheets in their craft box ?🙋‍♀️ I know I can't be the only one, and today we put them to good use with this #invitationtoplay . ..... I drew some "tunics" on some paper and then let the girls loose designing. They colored, they stickered, and this was a great way for us to mark of "garment" for #kidsplaytruth with the story of Tabitha. Tabitha was a lady who made clothes for those in need. She was loved by all, and when she died, God brought her back to life. Can you imagine Tabitha's surprise when she woke back up? I wonder if she even realized the impact she had before that moment. I have to admit, I don't ever remember reading this story growing up. So I am super unfamiliar with it, but it has been a fun one to read up now. ❤What is your favorite Bible Story? Do you have one you didn't learn about until adulthood? . . . .

Isn't it a joy when #instafriends become #irlfriends ? Today we got to play with Alyssa and Hans from @withharpandlyre at the @mn_arb (Free admission every 3rd Monday 🎉) I always love conversations with Alyssa whether via the internet or real life. She is an encouragement, and her dreams for her music and family inspire me. If you are not following @withharpandlyre you are really missing out. . ..... ❤Have you ever met an Instagram friend in real life? Also, totally thinking of hosting a toddler concert, would you come? Let me know below👇.

It's #bakingfriday and Vale has been begging me to make an Apple pie. So I thought I'd seize the opportunity to make my toddler happy, mark off "apple" on our #kidsplaytruth bingo, and tell you all my favorite way to explain the Trinity to small children. . ...... 1. Grab a pie (you can see our "cooking show" up in my stories👆). This pie represents God. 2. Cut the pie into 3 slices. Each is still the same pie, just a different part. . ..... This analogy works best with children that have already started asking questions about the Trinity, specifically how is our God 3 persons, but still 1 God. It really can feel so complex, even to our adult minds. However this is one way to make a complex subject a little more tangible. It may just click. Or, it still may go over there heads, but if it does, at least everyone got to eat pie 😘🥧 . ..... ❤What ways have you explored the Trinity with children? . . . . . .

"The best thing you can do to help your kids follow Jesus is to fall in love with Jesus yourself." -George Ady . ..... That's my dad. And he's not wrong. Maybe you want to do activities to teach your little ones about the Bible, but you're just tired and don't know where to start. Maybe you feel guilty that you don't read a Storybook Bible with your kids everyday. Maybe you are doing all the things to guide your child spiritually, and you are just wondering if it's enough. Take heart, friend. "His yoke is easy, and his burden light" (Matthew 11:30). The best way you can point your kids to Jesus is to love Jesus yourself. And He is enough. Where we are weak, he is strong. Where we fail, he brings wholeness. Where we feel shame, he gives joy. We have a father who loves us, and he loves our littles more than we ever could. You are seen, you are known, and you are loved. ❤Take some time to rest today, friend.

Right after I graduated from college, I had the amazing opportunity to spend the summer in India. I have so many, many memories of the amazing people I met there, but one sticks out this #worldlovewednesday. The leader of the organization I was visiting shared about the diya. A diya is a small oil lamp, and it symbolizes the purest of light that defeats all darkness and evil. She continued saying that for her, this symbolizes Jesus, the light of the world. As we are sipping chai and reading books about Indian culture, we thank Jesus that he is the light of the world, making all things right. And he has put his light in our hearts that we may shine for him. May his light illuminate all darkness in our lives so that we may be pure, as he is pure, that others may be drawn to him. ❤Do you have tea time where you're at? I generally like to have a coffee break in the afternoon, but it was fun to mix it up today. . . . #worldlovewednesday #godlovestheworld #prayforthenations #jesuslovesthelittlechildren #lightoftheworld #diya #onmissionmoms #christcenteredmama #lovewellonpurpose
