This is why we’ve created these Christian-themed lunchbox notes for you to slip into your child’s school lunch to let them know that God loves them… and so do you!

In this download, you’ll find 10 printable cards with words of encouragement such as God sees good in you, Stand firm and be strong in the faith, You are a might warrior and more.

These cards can be printed on regular printer paper, however, they will keep much better (and perhaps reused!) if printed on cardstock.

Here’s an excerpt from Chapter 1 to give you a taster…

This book is my invitation for you to join me on the solid Rock, Jesus Christ. What that means will, I hope, become clear. My aim is to show why God in Christ is the Rock at this moment in history—in this pandemic of the coronavirus—and what it is like to stand on his mighty love.

It matters little what I think about the coronavirus—or about anything else, for that matter. But it matters forever what God thinks. He is not silent about what he thinks. Scarcely a page in the Bible is irrelevant for this crisis. SOLID AND SWEET My voice is grass. God’s voice is granite. “The grass withers, and the flower falls, but the word of the Lord remains forever” (1 Pet. 1:24–25). Jesus said that God’s words in Scripture “cannot be broken” (John 10:35). What God says is “true, and righteous altogether” (Ps. 19:9). His word is, The God Who Reigns over the Coronavirus therefore, a firm foundation for life. “You have founded [your testimonies] forever” (Ps. 119:152). Listening to God, and believing him, is like building your house on a rock, not on sand (Matt. 7:24). His word is the kind of counsel you want to heed. “He is wonderful in counsel and excellent in wisdom” (Isa. 28:29). “His understanding is beyond measure” (Ps. 147:5). When he gives counsel about the coronavirus, it is firm, unshakable, lasting. “The counsel of the Lord stands forever” (Ps. 33:11). “His way is perfect” (2 Sam. 22:31). Therefore, his words are sweet and precious. “More to be desired are they than gold: . . . sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb” (Ps. 19:10). Indeed, they are the sweetness of everlasting life: “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life” (John 6:68). Therefore, in the best and worst of times, God’s words bring unshakable peace and joy. Surely it must be so. My prayer is that all who read this book would share the experience of the prophet Jeremiah: “Your words became to me a joy and the delight of my heart” (Jer. 15:16). And mark this: the sweetness of God’s word is not lost in this historic moment of bitter providence—not if we A Solid Foundation have learned the secret of “sorrowful, yet always rejoicing” (2 Cor. 6:10). We will see more fully later what this secret is.

But here it is now in a single sentence. The secret of “sorrowful, yet always rejoicing” is this: knowing that the same sovereignty that could stop the coronavirus, yet doesn’t, is the very sovereignty that sustains the soul in it. Indeed, more than sustains—sweetens. Sweetens with hope that God’s purposes are kind, even in death—for those who trust him….

This is a firm Rock under my feet. It is not fragile. It is not sand. I would like it to be a Rock under your feet. That is why I am writing. – John Piper

Every investment made into the life of a child is important and never wasted. As you plant seeds during a child’s formative years, truly only eternity will show us the impact being made. You – mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, aunt, uncle, Kid’s pastor, VBS director, teacher, volunteer – you are coloring their world. You are helping to shape their perspective on God and his goodness. What a child believes to be true about God directly impacts every other area of their life.

Don’t grow weary in the journey – keep on keeping on with grit, determination, grace and love. Galatians 6:9 in The Passion Translation says this, “And don’t allow yourselves to be weary or disheartened in planting good seeds, for the season of reaping the wonderful harvest you’ve planted is coming!”
