More about these coloring pages

Last week during our lesson on the Beatitudes, I saw how much my third graders resonate with the idea of comfort in mourning. The Matthew 5 4 Mourn coloring page has six lovely images that depict this powerful message. One of the pages shows a child comforting a friend, which ties beautifully to the verse: 'Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted' (Matthew 5:4). It's a gentle reminder of our call to support each other in times of sadness. As we color, I encourage the kids to share experiences where they've helped others feel better. One little girl, Sarah, shared how she comforted her friend after a pet passed away. This sparked a conversation about empathy and support that was truly moving. By incorporating this coloring page into our lesson, I aim to help them understand that mourning is a part of life, and it’s okay to feel sad. It also opens the door to discussing how we can be there for one another.
