New Coloring Book Page

     Over the next few months, I will be sharing a small collection of full page, one-of-a-kind, coloring book pages.  For the time being, they will all be supporting your ancient history studies.  A medieval set will follow sometime after that.

     The thumbnail image, and available in PDF, is of a Neo-Assyrian Tree of Life.  Symbolically, a tree can be a symbol of the resurrection in that in the winter, a tree appears to be dead, but emerges with new growth in the spring.  Also, we are given many images of trees in the Old and New Testaments.  One compelling image is of knowing a tree by its fruit.  Luke 6:44 For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. Here are a couple more.  Psalm 1:3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.  And, also, Jeremiah 17:8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that speadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

     Click on the link under the thumbnail image of the design to access the file. You will need Acrobat Reader.  Feel free to print up as many as needed for your family. Also, at the right on this page, I have a place for you to add your email address if you would like to be notified when I post a new blog entry.

I visited your blog several months ago, and for some reason stopped in again today. I reread the story of your Gregory and cried again for your loss, and this time for mine as well. We just lost our third baby to a miscarriage, and the grief is still so fresh. It is such a comfort to know that they are "in radiantly shining places where the spirits of the righteous dwell." I pray that God will continue to comfort your heart with His love and Hope.

I was random blogging tonight and came across your blog. I wanted to tell you how lovely it is and how much I enjoyed it. Your coloring pages are awesome and I look forward to using them in our studies! I also read Gregory's story and I cried and cried. I lost my only daughter back in 1999 in mid pregnancy. She is also buried at a small cemetery nearby...on our road in fact. I never got to see her or hold her. I was so blessed by all the pictures that you shared. How wonderful that you have those. You have such a beautiful family. May the Lord continue to bless you, as you have others by sharing the story of your dear little boy.

I forgot to mention that my blog has the words to the Shaker song "Simple Gifts" on it... It has meaning for me, too.
