Jesse Tree – Day 8: Jacob’s Dream

December 9, 2019December 1, 2020 Karina Tabone 0 Comments Advent, Jacob, Jesse Tree, Old Testament

First, I have to say… combining the Jesse Tree with the Advent calendar, complete with chocolates, was probably the best idea that I’ve ever had. Today was a bit hectic and I completely forgot about the Jesse Tree… until my five-year-old reminded me that it was time for the next ornament and chocolate.

So! If you’re wondering how to get your kids excited about the Jesse Tree, combine it with chocolate!

This is what our Advent calendar/ Jesse Tree actually looks like in practice. A bit messy, for sure, but apparently the kids like it!

Anyway! Remember how I said that last time, the next blog is going to get a bit dreamy?

Well, it is! Because today for our Jesse Tree reading, we are delving into Jacob’s life.

And so, here is the ornament for today:

A ladder! Made with gold colors, since it is a ladder that reaches to Heaven, after all. The crochet pattern for this ornament is here, just in case you want to make your own!

So what is the scripture behind this ladder? Good question! Let’s take a closer look at it… along with plenty of religious art to accompany it, because of course you need more religious art in your life! 🙂
