Come Follow Me Sketchnotes: "I Am the Good Shepherd". John 7-10, April 29-May 5.
I love the image of Christ as The Good Shepherd. The thought of Him caring for me, for each of us individually, as a shepherd cares for his sheep is just beautiful to me. So reassuring and comforting.
I recently read a fantastic book all about this topic and I LOVED it. I highly recommend it if you want to delve deeper into the idea of Christ being your shepherd. The author shares so many powerful insights about exactly how well a good shepherd cares for his sheep and how that applies to Christ and His love for us.
I am excited to share some more Come Follow Me sketchnotes pages with you today! As well as some fantastic resources for your personal and family study.

Ideas for using weekly Come Follow Me Sketchnotes pages:
COLORING PAGE. Use as a coloring page for your kids to work on during family scripture time. Write additional notes and insights on the pages as you go. You could add all the completed sketchnotes pages to a binder to keep as a reminder of the gospel topics you've discussed together.
STICKER PAPER. Print on clear sticker paper and cut apart the doodles to add to your scripture journal or into the margins of your scriptures. (This year, I am using this free wide-margin New Testament PDF that I had printed and spiral bound at a local copy shop. But there are many wide-margin options available.)
Printing on clear sticker paper allows you to add color to the doodles using colored pencils, but still be able to see the words beneath them. I have tried out a few different kinds of colored pencils on this sticker paper. Ergosoft pencils and Prismacolor pencils work really well.
TRACE. You can also trace these into your scriptures or journal using a light box or a sunny window. My husband made me an awesome lightbox, but this one is a great option for you to purchase.
