A Look Back at Lockdown in South Africa - Days 11 - 12

April 7th, 2020

Day 11 and 12 of SA 🔒⬇️

Two days of lovely sunshine. We have done work, chores and schoolwork. 

Just a few days left till the kids are on break! 

Woohoo! Can't go anywhere BUT ... at least there won't be assignments to do! 

* We started our Easter prep and activities. It has been lovely to do something special to keep us focused on the Saviour.

Our Easter windowsill

* Our Easter windowsill. We pass by it constantly, so this is the perfect place for 

these reminders. Hosanna sign ... (a cry ... like a prayer) 

A picture of Jesus...because we are only here because of Him. 

Candles...because He is the light of the world and to remind us to be lights to others. 

Branches...a symbol of the palms on Palm Sunday. 

The love sign ... because "greater love has no man..."

Our Forget-Me-Knots

* Our forget-me-knots tied on our wrists. A reminder of all that Jesus has done for us...

and to truly remember Him every day. Also, a reminder for us to do all we can for others.

* I have been ultra lazy and not exercised.  Liam has done weight training, 

Nic has played wall tennis, Maddy has done yoga and beginners bar ballet. 

Nic had a tough workday!

Nic played some wall tennis to destress and get some exercise.

* I have been listening to Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan of the Apes ... absolutely fantastic! 

* I have been making some Easter decor, and I did more scripture journaling. 

Homemade Easter Egg Envelopes

We wrote special promises to the Savior and put them in the envelopes
on the branches.

Scripture Art Journaling in my homemade journal

My emotions are still a little all over the place...trying to refocus negative thoughts and keep being productive.

Sending lots of love to you all at this time.
