Welcome to Holy Week.
Over 2000 years ago, a remarkable man named Jesus had just one week left to live on this earth: that’s seven sunrises and seven sunsets; seven short days to show the world what love looked like.
And he did.
I’ll be honest: I’m not very good at walking through Holy Week. I’m terrible when it comes to keeping my focus, as this story, from my last trip to Israel, demonstrates.
But I invite you to walk with me through Holy Week, even if you lose your focus, and even if you miss one day. Just walk with me. I promise I’ll be waiting for you to catch up, just like a walking companion would.
If you happen to own Easter Love Letters from God. please click on the picture below to download your free Resource and Activity Pack that will guide you through each of the seven days. 
But if you don’t own the book, simply read the following scriptures each day and ask yourself:
What does this story teach me about Jesus?
Where do I see myself in this story?
What might God be calling me to do as a result of reading this story?
In case you missed it… I wanted to be sure to gift my readers with this 25 page downloadable Resource & Activity Pack that I wrote to accompany Easter Love Letters from God.
Just click on the picture below to receive your seven-day devotional, designed to be used during Holy Week, which contains scripture, prayers, cut-outs, conversation starters, coloring sheets, crafts and more. And if you know of any parents, grandparents or Children’s Ministry leaders who might like this resource, please do share it with them.
If you are a church ordering 10 or more copies, they can be purchased at 35% off from Church Source, where your order will be tax exempt and will qualify for free shipping.
