Wrapping up this month of #worldlovewednesday by learning a Chinese character. 人 (Person). . Some people might describe our Wednesday's as a "Missions day." And I guess they may look like that. We learn about other cultures. We pray for other countries. But I think a more accurate description could be a 'celebration of people.' The doctrine of 'imago dei' teaches that every single person is created in the image of God. Every culture, every ethnicity, holding the fingerprints of the Divine. Yet, so often humanity sees these differences and chooses hatred. Or, in the age of colorblindness, we choose not to see, and erase the mystery of how God has created us so uniquely. Either way, we put God into a box that looks like us, acts like us, thinks like us....and we miss out on seeing a fuller picture of who he really is and the beauty that he has created. Wednesday over here is sacred. It is the day we behold God's creativity in making humanity, and we choose to be filled with appreciation and wonder. Wednesday is when we take a moment to recognize that a piece of God is in the hearts of every person we encounter, and in loving others we are loving God. #lovegodloveothers . . "Each of us carries a piece of God's heart within us, and when we love one another, the pieces of God's heart are made whole." -Desmond Tutu, 'God's Dream.'

Today was the #toddlertuesday Chinese New Year Party at the @mallofamerica ! In short, this is one of our favorite Toddler Tuesday events of the year. Littles get to meet Kai-lan, learn a few Chinese words, and they pass out red envelopes (check my stories to see what was in ours👆). Vale was so excited, she spend the whole ride to the mall practicing all 5 of the Chinese words she knows. ❤ The only disappointment? Vale thought for sure she was going to get to see the Dragon Dance! Guess we'll have to go back on Saturday for more #CNY festivities. 🙌 ❤Have you been to any Chinese New Year festivities this year? . . . P.s. this is in no way sponsored, we just love this event soooo much.

Checking off another #kidsplaytruth play-prompt: Praise! . When Paul and Silas in Philippi, they were thrown in prison. Don't worry, it didn't last long. While behind bars, the duo broke-out in song, lifting up God's name. No sooner did they start singing, then the earth began to tremble, and the doors of the jail broke open, freeing every prisoner!😱 and because of this miracle the jailer and his family came to faith in Christ (Acts 16:16-40). . For this story we did a simple "jailbreak" activity, rescuing some favorite toys from a cake pan prison while we listened to praise music 🙌. You can see how it went up in my stories 👆. . . .

Fun fact about me: I LOVE a good love story. That's probably why I love the book of Ruth. Though this isn't your typical boy meets girls....it's more like girl travels with mother-in-law to a faraway land. Girl takes care of mother-in-law by picking up leftovers in her mother-in-law's second cousin's grain field. Second cousin hears about girl's kindness to her mother-in-law and falls for her....ok yup, you get it. It's a little more complicated, but the heart of the story is love. True love: caring about someone more than you care about yourself. It's the love Ruth showed to Naomi, when she followed her to a foreign land to take care of her. It's the love Boaz showed to Ruth when he invited her, a widow and a foreigner, to sit at his table. And even more so when he married her, and made her family. Ok, now who else has all the feels?🙋‍♀️ ❤ .... You can check out how this grain bin went up in my stories👆. Ruth collected grain, Boaz had a grain field....what can I say? A corn bin felt appropriate. #kidsplaytruth: love❤ . .

Oh hey, we're just over hear practicing some #mathskills with this 10 frame activity from @gracefullambs . 🙌 Did you know that mandarin oranges are a symbol of wealth and good fortune during the Chinese New Year? For #worldlovewednesday this week we are reading books, and talking about other symbols we may see during the Chinese New Year event we'll be attending. I'm also sharing some of my favorite Chinese New Year activities I have been spying around the web up in my stories👆. ❤Does your community host a Chinese New Year celebration?
