Today is Friday, February 27, 2008
This is the second day of the 2008 40 trash bag challenge. The challenge is an opportunity to remove the excess clutter and “stuff” from our lives. The excess can be given away, sold, donated or trashed. The first goal is to let go; the second goal is to bless others.
Today’s bag of stuff for our family will come from the closets. We are going through our shoes and coats and collecting a bag (or two) for charity.
We are talking about shoes.
Quote for the day: “The bread which you use is the bread of the hungry; the garment hanging in your wardrobe is the garment of him who is naked; the shoes you do not wear are the shoes of the one who is barefoot; the acts of charity that you do not perform are so many injustices that you commit.” – Saint Basil
Read we are reading “Master Pfriem” and our Saint story of Basil the Great.
Craft: We are making pretzels.
Lap book page: Trace each child’s feet and cut them out. Decorate the “shoe” on the top and the back list (or draw) the things our feet do.
