This week we tackled Lesson 4 from Heaven is for Real for Kids and learned that “Heaven is more amazing than you can imagine”  (Revelation 21:19-21). Take a look at what we did!

Because it’s just me and the girls, I have to modify these lessons a bit as they are designed to be used in a Sunday school classroom. Modifying isn’t difficult though and we have had so much fun so far! This week, we started off imagining what our “best day ever” would look like. Then we took turns making up a story about an imaginary boy named Daniel who had a great day because he got to go to Heaven. I would say a sentence of the story and then Noelle would add a sentence. In our story, Daniel got to ride a roller coaster, go on a bike ride with angels, play games with Jesus, and even jump on the bed! We talked about how the day we made up for Daniel was similar to what Noelle imagined her “best day ever” would look like (jumping on the bed especially).

Our scripture reference this week comes from Revelation 21: 19-21 which talks about the different stones that make up the city walls in Heaven. Noelle got the chance to do a coloring sheet where she got to color (and even decorate with glitter) the precious stones described in this passage.

Afterwards, we talked about other things that are the same colors. I had to laugh when the thing she said was orange like the agate stone was not the sun or orange juice, but her Jesus Calling for Kids devotional.

 To end our lesson we played a fun game of pretend. Madi and I pretended to be newcomers to Heaven and Noelle pretended to be the tour guide. She took us all over “Heaven” showing us the neat things (she imagined) that were there. We got to see new kinds of fruit, pillows that are fluffier than clouds, and a tall slide that you don’t have to be scared to go on because you can’t  fall down in Heaven. As with every lesson, we ended in a prayer thanking our Heavenly Father  for the amazing place He has created for us.
