Lenten Lights

I have been searching for ways to create memories for Evie and Jackson that hopefully last a lifetime. 'Treasuring God in Our Traditions', written by Noel Piper, John Piper's wife and one of my favorite authors, is wonderfully practical and Jesus centered. I came across a blog post of hers on Desiring God, John Piper's website (which we follow pretty regularly).

If you are looking for an activity to do as a family to prepare for Easter, check out this resource by John Piper called Lenten Lights Eight Biblical Devotions to Prepare for Easter. You can use one devotional reading for each Sunday of Lent, Good Friday and Easter or, begin the readings the Saturday of Palm Sunday weekend and finish up Easter Sunday. We have opted for the latter due to the fact that six weeks is a long time for a 4 and 1 year old to count down. If you are interested, here is a peek into the Piper's house to see how they prepare for Easter with a post entitled Preparing for Holy Week.
