THE MOST BEAUTIFUL, CHRISTIAN EASTERTIME CHILDREN’S BOOKS

March 1, 2024
Rachel Schultz

The most common pitfalls in Easter books for children are: 1) violating the
second commandment by depicting images of Jesus or 2) giving an unbiblical
reason for Easter, or summary of what occurred at the resurrection. Books that
come out into the house annually for a season are going to be pretty powerful
for family culture so families should want to find good ones. This work is
refining a child’s palette. A mother is helping shape an appetite for what is
beautiful, as defined by God.

These are children’s books I recommend that capture the glorious meaning of
Eastertide.

This list is separate from my springtime children books list, which I will
compile at some point that would include themes of all of God’s lovely parts of
spring: rainbows, rain storms, frogs, seeds or early gardening, bunnies, frogs,
flowers, grasshoppers, caterpillars, kites, baseball, butterflies, or
bumblebees.



“He is not here: for he is risen, as he said.”

THE GREAT EASTERTIDE

February 15, 2024
Rachel Schultz

How do holiday traditions start? One of my dreams is to play a part in Easter,
or Resurrection Day, becoming as big as Christmas in celebration. With having a
dream like this, it’s helpful to reflect on how holidays come to be. They
originate from some group of people, somewhere, simply – having fun. Or, having
a culture. The Germans were over there decorating pine trees to celebrate the
incarnation, and now everybody in Branson, Missouri does it too. How did this
happen?

In part, when people have a tradition and it looks fun, other people want to
start doing it.

This is one way I define hospitality – having something people want to join in
on.

I would love to see Easter built up, and expanded in its trappings. If you feel
the same way, the first place to start is your household, and what you can
immediately oversee.



“He has forced open a door that has been locked since the death of the first
man. He has met, fought, and beaten the King of Death. Everything is different
because He has done so. This is the beginning of the New Creation: a new chapter
in cosmic history has opened.”
C.S. Lewis

A CASE FOR WINTERTIME

February 7, 2024
Rachel Schultz

This is an offering of help for Weather Complainers™ and a reminder homemakers
can set the dark months’ ambiance. It has never become not strange to me when
someone starts doing a little bit of Weather Complaining™. It’s the boring talk
of the unintelligent and sinful. Some women nearly make disliking cold (during
winter) and grieving that summer will end (during summer) their whole
personality. First, stop complaining about the weather.

Second, be a great homemaker during the winter. If your children are tempted to
complain (but I doubt they will be if you don’t model Weather Complaining™),
mothers are a perfect person to lift the mood.

“Seasonality is good for the soul. Winter, a time of withdrawal and rest, is
good for humanity. We fool ourselves by pretending we should live in eternal
summer.”



Or, as Grace put it, “Wanting winter to be like summer or spring is like wanting
your middle age or old age to be like your youth. Spend time embracing mortality
with gratitude.”

The dark months are quiet. Welcome the lengthened evenings. I have written down
some ideas of what to love about the wintertide.

 1.  The peace of watchfulness
 2.  Snow reflects bright and cheery daylight inside the house
 3.  Down-home pleasures like closing the curtains at nightfall
 4.  Experimenting cooking ambitious and exquisite entrees
 5.  Creating clean and comfortable places for resting
 6.  Good blankets
 7.  Meaningful work to do, quiet but not idle
 8.  The calm
 9.  The practice of death and resurrection
 10. Learning to like times of trial
 11. A long reading list
 12. Reading aloud through a book
 13. The ease of shelter
 14. Warm-toned lightbulbs in table lamps and as many candles as you can afford
 15. Snowy walking
 16. Comradery
 17. Folding warm laundry
 18. Knitting a scarf for each of your children
 19. Reading poems
 20. Keeping a light against darkness
 21. Making soups
 22. Music playing, my daughters and I love listening to our favorite songs by
     The Andrews Sisters in the wintertime while we deep clean a room
 23. Wearing the love of my family like a crown
 24. Homestyle baked treats
 25. The keeper of the home is friendly and available to talk

“It was so wonderful to be there, safe at home, shelter from the winds and the
cold. Laura thought that this must be a little like heaven, where the weary are
at rest.”
Laura Wilder, The Long Winter
