Pumpkin Plant Stake

Print the template out and have the child cut the picture out. You can laminate this if you want. You could also print this on card-stock if you want it to hold up a little better. Attach the picture to the popsicle stick using the tape or glue. Stick down in a potted plant.
What a fun idea for the kids to do for the parents that have potted
plants. This is a picture of a little pumpkin carrying his Bible. The
words say, "Just like this plant needs water, your soul needs the Word
of God. We need to teach our children that the Bible is very important
and not something that should just lay somewhere gathering dust on a
shelf. Some people are so protective of their Bibles that they lay it
somewhere out of reach so it will never get picked up. The Bible is your
sword. You need that word to protect you, encourage you, help you, and
guide you.
A plant needs water to live. If you do not feed it water, it will die.
There is no way around it. Water is what gives it life. God made it that
way. We are just like plants. We need the Bible in us everyday so we do
not die. The devil can come against you and you are not able to stand
against him if you do not know what that word says. You need the word at
times to lift you up. God's written word will nourish your soul and fed
you what you need just when you need it. It is a very powerful
snack...lol..
Parents need to make sure that their children are reading the Bible. I
know we all get busy in our everyday lives and it seems to get away from
us but we really have to make sure that we are training up the little
ones right. Children need to know that God loves them and that the Bible
can help them through their times of stress, trouble, grief, or if they
need to encourage someone else. The Bible is our instruction manuel to
help save lost souls. Saving souls is not just for the pastor...
