Thank you for downloading our Gathering place mats! I hope they are a blessing to you.

Here are some instructions to help you print them: The first page (page 2) is set up as the front of all the placemats. The subsequent 4 pages

are the backs of the placemats, making for 4 different options to share with your kidsthroughout the month.

Thus, print the four different options as separate front and back print jobs. Here are the

print jobs: 1. page 2 & page 3; 2. page 2 & page 4; 3. page 2 & page 5; 4. page 2 & page 6.

Thanks again and blessings,

How do you like to go up in a swing,     Up in the air so blue?

Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing     Ever a child can do!

Up in the air and over the wall,     Till I can see so wide,

River and trees and cattle and all     Over the countryside--

Till I look down on the garden green,     Down on the roof so brown--

Up in the air I go flying again,     Up in the air and down! 

The SwingBy Robert Louis StevensonHow blessed is the man who does not walk

in the counsel of the wicked,Nor stand in the path of sinners,Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!But his delight is in the law of the Lord,And in His law he meditates day and night.He will be like a tree firmly planted bystreams of water,Which yields its fruit in its seasonAnd its leaf does not wither;And in whatever he does, he prospers

My Father is rich in houses andlands,He holdeth the wealth of the worldin His hands!Of rubies and diamonds, of silverand gold,His coffers are full, He has richesuntold.I'm a child of the King,     A child of the King:     With Jesus my Savior,     I'm a child of the King. My Father's own Son, the Savior ofmen,Once wandered on earth as thepoorest of them;But now He is pleading our pardonon high,That we may be His when Hecomes by and by.     I'm a child of the King,     A child of the King:     With Jesus my Savior,     I'm a child of the King.
