Reverence Is Love

"Reverence Is Love," p. 31, is a favorite of mine.  It's all about the true meaning of reverence.  As adults, we tend to use the word reverence to mean quiet.  Then children never quite understand the full meaning of reverence.

• Make word strips of the following:
• quietly sitting
• thinking of Father above
• a feeling
• think of His blessings
• reverence is love
• words and deeds
• the pathway
• I know in my heart
• use a picture of Jesus for the last phrase
• Sing the song for the children.
• Sing the song again and put the word strips on the board (find pictures to go along with the words if possible - this will help the non-readers)
• Ask the children to sing the first phrase with you a few times.
• Continue with each phrase until you have finished the song.
• Plan on reviewing it next week.
