it was awesome to watch ben read the clues this year & all 3 work together to figure out where the next surprise & clue was.
finding the prizes was such fun!
here were the clues (along with bible verses) the dragon left at each stop & the surprises they found:
Hell
1.Hello my sweet dragon friends, it’s the Easter dragon back
again! My, how I’ve enjoyed watching you
grow this past year.. All 3 of you are amazing- growing up, learning so much
and remembering to do the right thing! Watching
you all grow and learn is so rewarding for me.
& while you are learning, you remember to try & do the right
thing. That makes this dragon
happy! Speaking of growing…. Your first surprise
is where blossoms bloom next something that rhymes with “tight roast.” I’ve added Bible verses at the end of each
clue to help you remember God’s love for us.
But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen. 2 Peter 3:18
“You are young, but don't let any person treat you like you are not
important. Be an example to show the believers how they should live. Show them
with the things you say, with the way you live, with your love, with your
faith, and with your pure life.”1 Timothy 4:12
these treats were some dragon flowers to plant next to the light post..
2. You kiddos do a great job of letting your light shine for Jesus –
the real reason we celebrate Easter. In
the next spot, go to your mommies’ old favorite hiding spots as kids that have
2 ways in & out. These goodies will
help you to remember to let your lights shine for Jesus!!
Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, "I am the light
of the world. If you follow me, you won't have to walk in darkness, because you
will have the light that leads to life." John 8:12
some little finger lights & a cool led light toy in the closet between the 2 bedrooms
Ask rain from the Lord in the season of the spring rain, from the
Lord who makes the storm clouds, and he will give them showers of rain, to
everyone the vegetation in the field. Zechariah 10:1
umbrellas to decorate for the kiddos
4.This dragon doesn’t like being
sick one bit. You can discover these next little somethings
to help keep you healthy in a place you get clean.
O Lord my God, I cried to you for
help, and you restored my health. You brought me up from the grave. O Lord. You
kept me from falling into the pit of death. Psalm 30:2-3
Be Joyful! A joyful heart is good
medicine, But a broken spirit dries up the bones. Proverbs 17:22#2
some hand sanitizer in the bathtub & tissues
5.I love to read & write. &
I know you do too! Go look for your next
surprises in a cozy spot to read some books.
You can write your special thoughts with some very special tools &
read some new stories!!
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to
prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11
"Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who
understands obtain guidance," Proverbs 1:5 ESV
a pencil & some books we had
6. Who loves their sweets? Go
to the place where Grandma DeeDee always makes her goodies. They are in a cabinet that has items in it
that rhymes with underwear.. & remember when licking that lollipop to share
peace on earth!
Peace
I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives.
Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:27
But all who listen to me will live in peace,
untroubled by fear of harm.” Proverbs 1:33
peace lollipops in the kitchen cabinet
7.God made us all – all people, all creatures big & small-
even icky- creepy bugs (which I think are delicious!). Don’t tell her, but I hid them on a pillow of
an arachnophobe.
For
we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God
prepared in advance for us to do -Ephesians 2:10
some bugs that walk down the wall
8. &
last but not least, some special things I’d like each of you to care for. You can crack open the big ones, but the
smaller ones are for you to have. I have
laid them under a tree near an object that rhymes with ring. Please
take care of them & remember to have a wonderful Easter! Jesus has risen! Hip Hip Hooray, or should I say Roar?!?! I Love you all & remember to keep doing
the right things, show love to others, stand up for what is right, say your
prayers, thank God for everything & enjoy being kids! Pray for those to
come to know our Savior, Christ Jesus, so that they may have eternal life &
joy.
Peace
out, my little dragon buddies!
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who
believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes
in me will never die. John 11:25-26
“Yes, God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son. God
gave his Son so that every person that believes in him would not be lost, but
have life forever.”
John 3:16
at the last stop, the dragon left some special dragon eggs & bubbles just for the kiddos.
they decorated their umbrellas after the hunt.
