We know from
the story of Solomon # 4 that Solomon forgot about YHWH. We know that
he made bad choices. He followed his wives and their gods,
instead of following YHWH. The
following activity will help you remember to always follow YHWH only. We all need
to stop and ask YHWH what to do when we are not sure about something. Pray to YHWH
and ask for his guidance to show you the right path.
The
following activity will help you remember to follow YHWH, and YHWH only. It will also
let others know that you follow YHWH only, and not other gods.
Things
You Will Need:
* 1 Foam
Page (any color) *
Printer (to print out the visor pattern) *
Markers or Paint ( to decorate your visor) *
Plastic twirly rope (to hold the visor to your head) Variations: Instead of
using the plastic twirly rope, you can use a shoe string, or braid
pieces of yarn together. These will hook to each end of the back
of the visor and then tied together so that your visor will stay on.
What To Do:
First Print out the pattern.
It is best to go to "file" then "Print Preview". Make sure the
visor is going to fit on one page.
Next, Print it out, and then cut out the pattern.
Use the pattern to lay on a foam sheet. You can use a pen to
trace around your pattern, onto the foam sheet.
Next, cut out your foam visor. (Don't throw away the scrap foam
yet).
Cut 2 small squares out of the scrap foam, so that the squares will fit
at the end of you visor (as shown in the pattern). Glue the
square in place on both ends.
Make a hole just big enough for your braided yarn, shoestring, or
twirly plastic to fit in the hole. Try not to get the hole to
big. Put whatever your using (braided yarn, shoestring, or twirly
plastic) through
the visor and the square scrap.
Tie one good knot at the end so it doesn't come back out the hole.
Now you can wear your visor whereever you go. Just tie the straps
that you made, and away you go. :0)
If you get a twirly plastic string, then you only need one piece.
Tie either end, in both ends of the visor. The twirly string is
stretchy a little bit, and you won't need to tie it.
You might also want to use a piece of elastic also. Just thread
one end to one end of the visor, and make a knot. Take the other
end of the elastic and put through the hole in the other end of the
visor and tie a knot. No need for tieing. This works well
for the smaller children. :0)
Last, (and most fun) get the markers or paints.
Write, "I Follow YHWH" on the visor.
Next, decorate your visor the way you'd like.
You can get stencils to help you decorate it, or print some pictures
online (with parent's help), and then cut out your own stencils to use.
Have FUN,
And
LEARN
LOTS
From YHWH.
