What we learned:
Today, in the life of Moses, we discovered
how the Israelites grumbled and complained and ended up wandering
in the desert for a very long time. We also learned that God wants
us to be happy and content, but the only way we can be truly happy
and content is to put Him first. We should not put our selfish desires
or material treasures first, because these cannot bring true happiness. (Scripture used: Numbers 14:26-35) |

Memory Verse:
"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path."
Psalm 119:105
Practice this verse several times with your child during the week. This will not only help him or her remember the verse, but it will also help to reinforce what he or she learned during class. |

Suggested Parent/Child Activity:
Unless you or your child has dietary restrictions, experience a short fast. Agree to skip one meal this week along with your child. Discuss how fasting can bring us closer to God and how He wants us to be content with what we have. Compare this experience to how the Israelites had to wonder in the dessert for 40 years because they grumbled about their living conditions. Explain how God generously provides plenty of food every day, and how skipping one meal to show honor to Him should not be hard at all. |

Daily Prayer:
Dear Father, everything is under Your
control and You are so wonderful. You only want what is best for
me. Lord, help me to not be jealous of others, and not grumble or
be unhappy about what I don't have. Instead, let me be content and
satisfied with what I do have. Amen |
