M&M's Christmas Poem - sent in by Nance in Reno Add the following poem to a bag of M&M's with a picture of the wise men.
M&M Poem with layered M&M cookie recipe gift idea - I just wanted to let you know that I used this poem along with a layered jar M&M cookie recipe that I got off the Internet. Go to http://organizedchristmas.com/article71.html. I sent it home with all of our Cubbies Mom's. (AWANA) I sent the poem with a thank you for being committed to bringing their kids to cubbies. A lot of these families are not involved in our church and it worked as a great outreach. THANKS! You have done a great job at this site and on The Resource Room as well. Merry Christmas! Nicki Jones I
placed the poem on a nice card stock paper with red font. I then stapled
the small size bags of M & M's to the card and gave each child
at our church one the Sunday before Christmas. I gave them a little
Bible lesson beforehand to tie it all together, asking them questions
like what letters are on an M & M candy, what do you think that
stood for? I never thought I would be reminded of Christmas by seeing
an M& M, but I am now. It's something I think I will use for years
to come to remind myself and others the reason for Christmas. Bonnie

OF GIFTS: (LISTED IN THE ORDER THEY ARE USED) December 1 - A quarter! That equals 25 cents. But 25 also stands for the number of days till Christmas, when God gave us His best present. Jesus told about one woman's gift and the way she gave it. Read: Mark 12:41-44 December 2 - Grape Gum! Grapes make jelly and juice, raisins and wine. But Jesus didn't need grapes to perform His first miracle. Read: John 2:1-10 December 3 - Here's a smile! A smile usually expresses happiness. Jesus gave us many instructions to keep us happy. Read: Matthew 5:1-12. December 4 - Fish! Well, if you were surprised to find these fish, wait till you read the story today! Others were surprised to find fish, too. Read: Luke 5:4-7 December 5 - A birthday candle? As you know, we are getting ready to celebrate Jesus' birthday. However, Jesus talked about something else that is related to this candle. Light! Read: Matthew 5:14-16 December 6 - You could make some noise with this. But it would not have bothered a certain man--until he met Jesus. Read: Mark 7:31-37 December 7 - These would not go very far if you were really hungry! But Jesus could make much out of little. Surely He knew how to multiply! Read: Matthew 14:13-21 December 8 - These cotton balls would be helpful in a thunder storm, wouldn't they? We could use them for ear plugs to muffle the loud noises that thunder makes. But we know someone who doesn't need cotton. Jesus can control the weather. Read: Matthew 8:23-27 December 9 - People needing to use the other parts of this map are in trouble!

Read: Matthew 25:17-41 December 12 - We use the cross as a symbol, representing Jesus. Do you know why? Read: Philippines 2:1-11December 13 - Ordinary salt. Yes, Jesus related salt to us and our behavior. He also gave us some advice. Read: Matthew 5:14 and Colossians 4:6. (Notice that He doesn't recommend pepper!). December 14 - Don't try to eat this! It's sand. It reminds us that Jesus knows something about architecture, about buildings--and building lives. See His instructions: Matthew 7:24-29. December 15 - Flowers are pretty, aren't they? Jesus used flowers to teach us a reassuring lesson. Read: Matthew 6:28-34. December 16 - Raisins! Many children are given raisins instead of candy for a snack. That's because they are a health-promoting and delicious fruit. Jesus told us how we can produce good fruit. Read: John 15:1-5. December 17 - Jesus told a story about seeds that man planted. Then He explained it, revealing its deep meaning. Read: Matthew 13:3-8 and Matthew 13:18-23. December 18 -Christmas is just about a week away. And here is an appropriate song. Sing it loudly!

When it sprouts, it grows into one of the largest plants! See what Jesus said. Read: Matthew 17:20.

Continue to learn about Jesus--and love Him forever! Sent in by Nance in Reno Comments about This Craft:
Christmas Outreach Idea Here's a great way to get your children involved in helping others this Christmas: I go to a "downtown" church that has a fairly significant ministry to the homeless. Our First Grade Sunday School class is making little red boxes (I'm putting the box together. It's made of red card stock) that will be filled with a candy cane, two Hershey's kisses, and the Candy Cane. The words on the top of the box say: Open this box to receive a special message. In this case, the message is the Candy Cane Poem. These boxes can be used for other holidays and other purposes. You can make the boxes any color and include any type of message and/or treat.
