THE JELLY BEAN PRAYER
(Firstly, read the poem all through out loud while producing each coloured jellybean from a bag. Secondly read the poem with the explanation. Finally give out some jellybeans to eat !) GREEN is for the grassy blade, YELLOW is for the sun God made. ORANGE's for a flame so bright. BLACK is for our sins not right. RED is for the blood He gave. WHITE is for Jesus grace. He saved. PURPLE is for the hours of sorrow PINK is for a new tomorrow. A bag of jellybeans, so colourful and sweet, is a promise, a prayer, and a loved one's treat. HAPPY EASTER ! GREEN is for the grassy blade, YELLOW is for the sun God made. ORANGE is the flame so bright God created this world. It was good. He made the beautiful plants, animals, the stars & the moon... Rain, fire, mountains and valleys. BLACK is for our sins not right. God made people to live in this world ...Men & women. People disobeyed God and didn't trust in God best plan for their lives. RED is for the blood He gave. God sent His Son Jesus to earth to show us just how much He loves us. Some people didn't want to listen to the Good News Jesus was telling them about believing in God and trusting Jesus..so they killed Him on a cross. WHITE is for Jesus grace. He saved. PURPLE is for the hours of sorrow. PINK is for a new tomorrow. Though people thought that Jesus was dead. He came back to life again and appeared to many of his friends. Even though we don't deserve it Jesus offers 'new life' to all those people who say they are sorry for their sins and who believe that He really is the Son of God...alive today ! We have hope for the future because He is with us. A bag of jellybeans, so colourful and sweet, is a promise, a prayer, and a loved one's treat. HAPPY EASTER !
