Feel free to click on the link above to watch a short video with your kids that will let them know God loves them and understands how they are feeling. CEF will be posting shortened Good News Clubs on YouTube, if you would like to check them out. The first posting as of today, 3/20, will be a demo, but the rest will be more like regular clubs.
Our kids are living through a lot right now, and really need our prayers, love, and understanding. Marshmallows, Pretzels, and Love, is a post I shared about a fun game with pretzels and marshmallows (preferably to be done when your kids can run the sugar off outside). 😉
So go ahead, spend some time just enjoying your family. And like the meme says, your soul will be healed. Ken and I are grandparents who remain young at heart in large part because of the children God has placed us with. We pray hearts will be united and strengthened in the bond of love during this unplanned time of being together.
With love and blessings,
Jacquie ♥

I love the post, yes we have not really paid a lot of attention to how our kids are feeling. Thank you for being one of the conscious ones God is using to bring awareness to this issue. You have a beautiful blog and the music geared toward uplifting the kids is beautiful.

It has been a amazing to witness the efforts of a school where two of my grandchildren attend. With all of the distance learning taking place at home, the school staff is reaching out with a sort of “Spirit Week” to keep these students together as much as possible. Amazing!
