"I Build My House Of Bricks"
"I Build My House Of Bricks"
Psalms 71:3 Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.
- Water Bottle
- 1 Pink Construction Paper
- 2 Goggle Eyes
- Tape
- Scissors
- Decorative Cutting Scissors
- Wooden Clothespin
- 1 White Paper
- Red Pen or Black Pen (to write words on paper)
Have the kids take their scissors and cut
the pink construction paper to fit the water bottle. Then have them
wrap the pink paper around the water bottle and tape it in the back. Tape some goggle eyes to
the front. Cut out two triangles for ears and then fold the bottom of
the triangle backwards and add some tape to the bottom of the ear. Tape
both ears on. Cut two tiny pink circles out and tape to the top of the
lid for the pig's nose holes. Then have the kids take the white piece of
paper and write down the words, "I Build My House Of Bricks." Psalms 71:3-.....for thou art my ROCK. Then
have the child use the decorative cutting scissors and cut it out. Have
them cut out a slightly larger piece of pink paper using the same
decorative cutting scissors and tape behind the white paper. Then tape
the paper onto the wooden clothespin. Have the child prop the sign next
to their piggy. You could also add a curly pink tail by cutting out a
small tail from the construction paper and taping it on or you could use
pink pipe cleaner and attach it. You could also turn this craft into a
little piggy bank. Just use a knife and cut a slit in the top of the
bottle for the children. You could also give him little feet if you
wanted to. You could make pig feet using other soda lids and tape them
on. This pig craft goes with "The Three Little Pigs And The Big Bad Wolf
Lesson".
The Three Little Pigs
And The Big Bad Wolf Lesson
We
should really take a look at the children's story on the "Three Little
Pigs And The Big Bad Wolf.". I am sure you have heard of it before. If
not then just watch the video above.
There
are three little pigs and each one built a house. The first pig built
his house out of straw, the second pig built his house out of sticks and
the third pig built his house out of bricks.
The
first two little pigs didn't put much time or effort into building
their house. They hurried through the making process and cut corners.
The last pig worked harder and stayed at it longer than the other two.
When
the wolf comes lurking around the corner he tries to blow the first
house down that was made out of straw and of course he succeeds. The two
little pigs run inside and try to hide in the second pigs house which
was built of sticks. Notice how the wolf comes dressed as a sheep the
second time! (Wolf in sheeps clothing- Mat 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing,
but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Mat 10:16 Behold, I send you
forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents,
and harmless as doves. Act 20:29 For I know this, that after my
departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the
flock. )
We
need to have our eyes open to the enemy that pretends to be something
they are not. Wolves are sent in to to destroy. They are not sent there
for any other reason. A wolf is a wolf. A sheep is a sheep. A sheep can
be lost, and then found by the shepherd, but a wolf was born a wolf and
will never become a sheep. We have to have understanding on this. He
that has ears to hear...let him hear.... A wolf was born a wolf and will
die a wolf. The shepherd does not convert wolves and bring them into
the sheep fold. The wolf will kill, steal, and destroy the sheep fold. (John
10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to
destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have
it more abundantly.) The shepherd is there to protect the
sheep. We are the sheep. You will never read in the scriptures that
Jesus went to the wolves to bring them in and save them.... He went to
the lost sheep..... The shepherd protects the sheep..That is why he is
there. If a wolf comes in, it would kill the sheep. The shepherd can not
allow that. The shepherd will kill the wolf in order to save his sheep
fold. That is what the shepherd does. He looks out for the sheep. He
loves his sheep. He cares for them.
Notice
how the last little pig worked long hours and put in a lot of time to
build his house. He took notice of how the other two little pigs had
spare time to go play and goof off but he knew that he had to keep going
and working when everyone else was doing their own thing. This pig knew
that the wolf could destroy. This pig knew the key to protecting his
home was to build it out of bricks or stone like he said. When your home
is founded on the rock (Jesus) the wolf can not blow your house down...
(Psalms 31:3 For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.
Psalms 62:2 He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.
Psa
71:3 Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort:
thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.
Psa 78:35 And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer.
Psa 89:26 He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.
Psa 92:15 To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
Luk
6:48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid
the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat
vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded
upon a rock.
So
we find that the other two pigs lost their homes from the wolf and then
ran to the last pig that built his house from brick. The were in fear
and scared and hid under the bed. The little pig that built his house in
bricks was confident his house would stand against the wolf. That is
where your faith kicks in! We have to be confident in God. If we do what
we are suppose to do and listen to the Lord on what he is telling us
then rest assured he will take care of you. The wolf thought he would
pull a fast one and tried to enter the home through another way. Instead
of breaking down the door he crept on top of the house to go down the
chimney. He tried to use another way of entry. The wolf didn't expect to
find a fire lit and water boiling below him. He got himself into some
hot water! The wolf took off out of there and didn't come back. (James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.)
The
wolf learned not to mess with this one little's pig's house. Dangerous
things happen to wolves when they try to come against the house that is
built out of bricks or stone! (Rom 12:18 If it be possible, as
much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. Rom 12:19 Dearly
beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it
is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.)
John 17:9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
Jer 14:11 Then said the LORD unto me, Pray not for this people for their good.
God wants you to have a clean and pure heart....Let the Lord fight the battle for you. Don't go get yourself in trouble. God is very mighty and powerful. He can do anything. God can do things that you can not do. Just build your house upon the rock and God will make sure it stands! Always LISTEN to what God is telling you...You will never go wrong when you heed to him. He will let you know exactly what to do and when to do it. Just obey... If God tells you to pray, then pray...If He tells you to be still, then be still...If He say's Go Forward, then go forward. He WILL SPEAK TO YOU. Just listen.....

Buy some canned biscuits and use some pinched dough to form noses and ears. Two triangles for the ears and a round circle for the nose. Put two small slits in the nose with a knife. After they are done cooking add two eyes using whatever you want. You could use mustard seed or even use some cream cheese that has been colored black. Just dot on the two eyes using a piping bag. You could always use tiny round cut outs of pepperoni for the eyes or even cheese. Or come up with your own idea for the eyes.
