What we learned:
God knows we have a lot to learn and that
we may not understand everything in the Bible. God wants us to make
the effort to learn more about Him by reading our Bibles and by praying.
God will gladly give us knowledge and understanding if we seek Him.
There are some people that have no desire to learn more about God,
these people are like the seeds that fell on the path in the parable
of the sower. (Scripture used: Matthew 13:3-4, 19) |

Memory Verse:
"And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach
the gospel to every creature." Mark 16:15 KJV
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:
Go to the park or nearby woods and take
a hike. As you walk along the path enjoying the beauty that God has
created ask your child why the grass doesn’t grow on the path.
Listen to your child’s answer, if he or she hasn’t already figured it out, mention that all the foot traffic on the path makes it nearly impossible
for the grass to grow. Tie this into the growth of our spiritual lives
by stating that worldly obsessions can crowd out the spiritual things
in our lives. We should take time each day to listen for the small
still voice of God. We can accomplish this by reading the Bible, praying,
and worshiping God each day. Be thankful for all of God’s blessings and his desire to spend time with each of us, and remind your child to be thankful as well. |

Daily Prayer:
Dear Lord, please keep us from becoming
busy with the things of this world. Help us keep our focus on You.
Teach us Your ways and make our paths straight. Let us not serve
to the left nor the right but rather stay on the path that You set
before us. Fill our minds with wisdom and our hearts with love. Show
us how to share Your love with those around us. In the name of Jesus, amen. |
