The Pocket Blessings craft for
March is paper bunting. We are filling teeny baskets with little bunting with the word Hope to put inside because Easter is upon us and because of
Jesus, we have hope.
There are various ways and
supplies and sizes that can be used to make bunting. We are using paper and
ribbon + twine to make them in triangles and flags about 3" x 1.5"
and embellishing them with embossed + stamped / stickered / handwritten letters.
Here are few basic tutorials if
you need some inspiration for making your own:
Easter is about bringing hope to the hopeless. It is about celebrating the death and resurrection of Christ. We want to remind the recipients of the hope that is found in Jesus because of his death and resurrection. For surely, hope can change everything.
Hope weaves itself in to the bits of glitter in the hard times and points others to God's saving grace. Hope perseveres because of the promises and goodness to come. Hope rises past the hurts and hold ups and grudges and points to the bigger picture.
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him. Romans 15:13a
God is a God of hope. He fills and gives and pours and mixes according to our needs of peace and joy and love. He is the ultimate giver.
Praying that you see God will fill you will hope as you go about Easter and that it would overflow through the power of the holy spirit. Praying that you would be a witness throughout your community of the hope of Jesus and if you have yet to put your hope in him, that you would see the beauty in the offer.
Here's to new found hope and overflowing of joy and peace.
And of course, here's a little tag to attach to your baskets. Click to download.
