THE CHOSEN :THE LAST SUPPER {GIVEAWAY}

I am new to The Chosen. I am not a big TV watcher so I had just never taken the time to watch The Chosen, but recently began season 1. It is so incredible to see the Bible come to life in this way!

The Chosen is back for Holy Week, this time in theaters and in 3 parts. Part one (episodes 1-2) releases on March 28th; part two (episodes 3-5) releases on April 4th; and part three (episodes 6-8) releases on April 11th.

I just finished part one and it was so good. It makes you feel as though you are right there in the middle of what is going on.

Whether you have been a long time fan of The Chosen, are a new watcher like me, or have never heard of it before, this series is a must see and I highly encourage you to take the time out to head to the theater and see all three parts of The Chosen: The Last Supper.

Shot in a beautiful cinematic format, The Chosen: Last Supper brings the most pivotal week in history to audiences in this special three-part theatrical release. To find out more on where you can watch, click HERE.

FINDING JESUS EASTER ADVENTURE

Last year at Christmas our family found Finding Jesus and loved it. This precious Advent kit for families was the perfect way to help kids keep their eyes on Jesus during the holiday season. I am pleased to share that Finding Jesus now has an Easter kit too!

The Finding Jesus Easter Adventure is a journey from the cross to resurrection. It helps your kids learn what Easter really means and why we celebrate this day. While Easter baskets, pretty dresses, and candy hunts can be fun, that isn't what Easter is about. It's important to teach our kids what the day truly means to us. Finding Jesus helps us do that.

The Finding Jesus kit is a 25 day adventure and comes with the sweetest Jesus doll -this is my two year old grandson's favorite thing, a Scripture book for each day, a puzzle box with a puzzle piece for each day, the keepsake box that doubles as a frame for the puzzle, and an envelope to open on Easter morning.

The Jesus doll has a little pocket in the back to hold a puzzle piece. Each day you can add a piece of the puzzle to the doll and place it somewhere for your child to find it. Once they find the doll and puzzle piece, you can open the Scripture book to the correlating day and read the Scripture passage. Then place the puzzle piece on the frame. Continue on until Easter Sunday where your child will find not only the Jesus doll, but also the purple envelope for a special surprise.

The kit is flexible to fit your family's needs. You can begin 25 days before Easter, this year that would be March 27th, and do one puzzle piece a day. You can begin on Palm Sunday and do three puzzle pieces a day, ending on Easter with the final three pieces and the purple envelope. Or you can do everything on Easter day, using 24 plastic eggs to hide your puzzle pieces.

The kit is affordable at only $39.99 and worth every penny! Not only will you spend this Easter sharing the true meaning with your kids, but you can make it an Easter tradition, year after year.

HELP THEM HAVE A MEANINGFUL EASTER

Easter is just a couple weeks away. Everywhere our children look they see chocolate bunnies, yellow chicks, eggs, candy, and all the glitz that draws their attention. We need to help our children understand what Easter is truly about. We need to make Easter meaningful.

Here are a few ways you can make Easter meaningful for your family this year.

Read books that share the true meaning of Easter and Jesus. A few books we love are Twas the Season of Lent, Berenstain Bears and the Easter Story, The Easter Story, and I Am. And of course, read the story of the crucifixion and resurrection from the Bible.

Resurrection Eggs. This dozen of eggs is a fun, interactive way to go through the true meaning of Easter. Each egg has a token to symbolize something of Easter inside, such as a donkey like Jesus rode on or coins to represent when Judas sold Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. The eggs come with a teaching booklet to help guide you along.

Resurrection Garden. A resurrection garden is a wonderful way to teach about Jesus and incorporate nature. My friend Sarah Geringer gives a step by step guide to creating a resurrection garden HERE.

Choose their Easter basket treats wisely. It can be easy to stuff their baskets full of candy and toys. Instead, fill their basket with a new children's Bible, Write the Word Journals for Kids, crayons or colored pencils, stickers, one sweet treat (one treat is okay, fun even), and a small stuffed animal (perfect for a Bible reading buddy). If you have teens, you can still create a meaningful basket, just use a new Bible, Write the Word Journal, faith stickers, cute pen, and a sweet treat. I share more about a meaningful Easter basket and have a giveaway HERE.

Wear Holy Pals PJs. Holy Pals PJs are pajamas with meaning. Each pair of pajamas is not only soft and made with incredible and lasting quality, but the also have cute pictures of the true meaning of Easter and have a Scripture reference of the Easter story sewn on the sleeve. Each night as your child gets ready for bed, you can read the Scripture reference on the pajamas and discuss what Easter means. And as they wake up on Easter morning, you have a beautiful reminder right there of what the day is all about. Our family loves Holy Pals PJs because they super cozy but more importantly, they are a wonderful reminder of the Word of God. You can shop Holy Pals PJS HERE. Use code JENIFER10 for 10% off.

Let's make this year the year we help our kids grow in Jesus and learn the truth of what Easter means.
