God Has a Plan For Everyone WEEK 1 - PART 3

First of all, let's review our memory verse for this week:

13 
(For non-readers, have a reader read the post aloud and work through questions together, allowing time for the non-reader to draw answers in the notebook.)
15 

 "For you created my inmost being;
    you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful,
    I know that full well.
15 
My frame was not hidden from you
    when I was made in the secret place,
    when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 
Your eyes saw my unformed body;
    all the days ordained for me were written in your book
    before one of them came to be."  Psalm 139:13-16

God has a plan for everyone and that includes YOU!

Watch this video and learn about God's plan for Samuel.

There are many other people mentioned in the Bible that God used for His purposes. 
For instance, God used Joseph to make a way to keep his family from starving during a very bad famine. Have you heard that story?
God used Moses to free the Israelites from Pharoah, King of Egypt. Do you know that story?
How about King David? I'm sure you have heard about his famous battle with the giant Goliath while he was still a boy!

And let's not forget about Jesus. God planned how Jesus would be born, who His mother and father would be, and that He would save the world from sin.

Absolutely amazing!

Don't think that you were left out.   Oh, no!!!
You are just as much a part of God's plan as Jesus. He wants you to know and trust Him and even serve Him.

In our last lesson we made pictures of ourselves labeled "IMAGE BEARER."
For today's lesson you will be making a picture of your family. You can use a separate piece of paper and glue it into your spiral when you're done.
1. The next empty page is for your picture of your whole family. Everyone is important. Be sure to draw all the people that live with you, your brothers and sister, your Mom and Dad. 
2. Under each image write something special about this person. If you have trouble thinking of something, try to remember that each one is made in God's image and is special. This should help you to name a special characteristic for each person.
3. When you are done, take a minute to thank God for placing you in your family with such special IMAGE BEARERS. 
Be sure to glue or tape your picture into your spiral on the next blank page.

Consequences Belong to You WEEK 5 - PART 3

Image
Learning the Word of God and putting it in your heart is always time well spent. So continue to be diligent in practicing and reciting our Bible verses. Cover the brown words below with your hand and try to say Galatians 6:7. Do not deceive yourselves; no one makes a fool of God. A man will reap exactly what he plants. Galatians 6:7 Concerning consequences: You may have heard some of these sayings: "What goes around comes around." "You get what you deserve."   "You reap what you sow." It is important to understand that the person who makes a choice deserves the consequence. For instance, if you make a choice, it is not your parent's fault if you receive a consequence. Remember that consequences are directly related to your own choices. Look in the glossary of your spiral and find the definition for AUTHORITY. Authority is the power or right to give orders,   make decisions, and enforce obedience ...

Making a Respectful Appeal WEEK 14 - Part 1

Image
We have reached the last chapter of our peace making study! I am proud of the way you have stuck with the program and worked toward completion. Great job!! We will celebrate more fully as we can gather together. In our last chapter we learned how to use the communication pie tool to send and receive messages with people in our family.  1. As a review exercise, write a paragraph that tells about what happened this past week each time you communicated respectfully. Write down what you said, how you said it, and how you listened, and how members of your family responded. 2. Play Simon Says with your family members. During the game the students should obey "Simon" only if he uses respectful communication when giving directions. Directions communicated disrespectfully are not to be obeyed. 3. Name the four pieces of the communication pie. (Words, tone of voice, body language, and listening skills.) 4. In preparation for this chapter, write down this definition for the word appea...

Epilogue

Pride only breeds quarrels, but wisdom is  found in those who take advice.  Proverbs 13:10   WHEN AND HOW TO GO AND GET HELP As we learned in studying the slippery slope, there are three basic ways that you can respond to conflict. You can escape, you can attack, or you can work out your differences in a way that will glorify God. We learned many things that can help you resolve conflicts in a way that pleases the Lord. We have discussed: How you can stay on top of the slippery slope rather than slip into the escape or attack zones. (See blog entries for WEEK 3.) What conflict is and where it comes from. (See blog entries for WEEK 4.) The fact that your choices may cause or prevent most of your conflicts, and that you will receive either good or bad consequences depending on the choices you make. (See blog entries for WEEK 5.) How your conflicts give you an opportunity to glorify God by the way you treat other people. (See blog entries for WEEK 8.) The importance of makin...
