Craft - You’ll need this heart pattern, candy, yarn, construction paper, hole punch
Print the heart pattern onto 2 sheets of construction paper and cut out. Hold the hearts together and punch holes around the outside so you can lace it together with the yarn. Leave an opening so you can put the candy inside. Have the kids write the memory verse on the outside. The craft represents your heart and the candy represents what you should hold in your heart for your enemies. http://www.teacherview.com/WritingCenter/shape_books/holidays/heart_cover.htm
