The New Testament epistles mention writing certain things as reminders (1 Cor. 15:1; 2 Tim. 1:6; 2:14; Titus 3:1; 2 Pet. 1:12; 3:1). With children, especially, a tangible reminder to take home can serve a similar purpose. It’s therefore important to strategically choose the craft project but also to effectively use it.<\/p>\n
