The boys wake up each morning way to early with way to much excitement to find out what the Wise Men have been up to during the night and what they will learn that day...this year the Wise Men are teaching us a name of Jesus every day (and yes they taught us this 2 or 3 years ago but Momma needs to recycle!):
Letter from the Wise Men on December 1st asking the boys to join them on a journey to discover the names of Jesus. The also taught the boys that Jesus is Wonderful Counselor. They had the boys take turns doing an obstacle course blindfolded and then learned just as they had to trust the one giving them directions so the have to trust Jesus.
Mighty God. We caught the Wise Men hanging out with the mightiest people they could think of - Lego Ninja and Lego super heroes - and pulling out the superhero costumes. They taught us Jesus is the mightiest of them all and is the only one who can truly save us.
Everlasting Father. Wisemen had us playing Father/Son matching game. We learned Jesus is our everlasting Father.
Prince of Peace. We found the Wise Men holding out the white flag and bringing peace to the pirates. Jesus is the only one who can bring peace between us and God. After we prayed I asked Asher what he was doing with the two pirates in his hand, he said, "these two are not having peace." And the two pirates proceeded to fight.
Alpha and Omega. The Wise Men used magnet letters and alphabet puzzles to teach the boys that Jesus is the first and last, the beginning and the end. They had us pray for the Oldest boy and the youngest boy - Asher prayed for all the boys.
Advent is the best! We can't wait to find out all the things the Wise Men will teach us and to celebrate every day the coming of our Lord Jesus!
