Reusable Lent Calendar + Giveaway

March 5, 2015 By Jenna 35 Comments

Fun Fact:
Lent will be halfway over on March 12. Half. Way. I seriously just rolled up our Advent calendar. Have you thought about how you are doing with your commitments? I know I tend to stay on course more easily when I have tangible things to use as tools. I’m working my way through the Blessed is She Lenten Journal, and I also contacted Jesse Tree Treasures on Etsy about their Jesus Tree.

What It Is:
“The Jesus Tree is a daily family devotional tool to observe the days of Lent. Follow this devotion through Jesus life, whether during Lent or any time of the year.

What is Included:
“47 disks for the 40 days of Lent and 7 Sundays, and 10 days to walk from Ascension to Pentecost. We have also included 7 bonus disks, including various holy days. Sort the ornaments by color to coordinate the weeks according to the enclosed card. Included is a chart listing the stories from each of the gospels to assist in devotion.”

How They Work:
Easy. During each day of Lent, draw the corresponding coin and read the Bible passage suggested. Since Lent is, date-wise, an ever changing season, a set in stone calendar is difficult to pin down. This method allows you to track the days of Lent in a meaningful way, but also lets you reuse the calendar each year to create a tradition for your family.

How to Use:
There wooden coins can just be drawn and returned to their pouch each day. They can also be made into magnets, ornaments or any other way you can dream up to display.

Perfect For:
I might be biased, but I feel these are great for young kids who don’t have a concept of time. We have a tangible way to count the days of Lent while learning about the life of Jesus.

    I did it – so far so good! I love these!!! We have two toddlers and this would be perfect to help me convey the importance of lent – 40 days is a long time for littles :) as I suspect you well know. I really like your updated header by the way – very pretty :) :) PS I’m also loving the Only One Thing Journal! All my best :)

    Lent is going… that’s pretty much it. I am almost daily remembering to pray the Angelus, and my kids most of the time want to join in. So that’s my Lent win. Are Lent wins a thing, or is that too contrary to the point? ;)

    I’m doing it. Last year Lent was a terrible time of life for me and this year is kind of just a reminder of it all.

    I did it! These are perfect! I’ve been trying to do a calendar with the kids, but without any scripture that goes with it it’s hard to follow along. This Jesse Tree equivalent is awesome! Although I think everytime I see “Temptation in the Dessert” it’s going to make me twitchy.

    Lent is going. In some areas I feel strong and committed and other areas I feel like I am failing.

    I did it. Already I’ve had to ‘restart’ a couple things, which I don’t think is a terrible thing because it still helps me focus on God’s mercy and sacrifice. So Lent win?!?

    Neat! I’ve been stockpiling ideas for my little ones to get into the liturgical seasons. Of course, I have ulterior motives, because I think this calendar would help me out too ;)

    Lent is going. My 4th little one was born on Valentine’s day. This is the first time there has been a newborn in our family during Lent and it has definitely been a game changer… in a good way though I think :)

    I did it. Lent is going ok but it’s hard to get the little ones to understand why we are doing some of our Lenten practices. I think a set like this could really help us step it up a notch with our kids!

    God made it pretty clear that what I had chosen for a Lenten devotion wasn’t what He had chosen for me. Since we got on the same page, it’s been going a lot better!
