November 22th – 28th
The 3 Ingredients of Thanksgiving
This is the week we celebrate Thanksgiving! We do this to remind us to be thankful for what we have and everything that God has done for us. God is looking for us to have a heart of Thanksgiving, that is His will for our life, not just in November, but all the time. As you celebrate with your family this week, take time to dive into God’s Word and explore “The 3 Ingredients of Thanksgiving”. Rejoice Always, Pray Continually, and Give Thanks in All Circumstances.
Read 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 this week.
This week’s Memory Verse is Psalm 9:1 have your child look it up in their Bible and read the verse together. Do this daily and answer the questions provided for each day.
Monday: How do we rejoice always? How is this possible in bad times? (For us to understand how to rejoice, we must first understand the difference between happiness and joy. Happiness depends on your circumstance, but joy is from God, remember the Fruit of the Spirit? Joy is from God. We can have joy, even in bad times because it doesn’t depend on our circumstances.)
Tuesday: What does Paul mean when he says, “pray continually”? (Paul didn’t mean that we should walk around all day mumbling prayers to God. No, he was teaching that we can live in a constant attitude of prayer, even as we go about our daily routines. Even when we are doing other things, we can talk to God anytime.)
Wednesday: How are we to give thanks, even when things don’t go our way? Read Romans 8:28.
Thursday: Share with your family what you are most thankful for in 2020.
Friday: Re-read your memory verse, what are we to do when we give thanks with all our heart? (Share about the wonderful things He has done with others.) Share with someone this week about the good God has done.
Saturday: This day is reserved if you have missed a day. If every day was completed, use this time to review this past week’s lesson as a family.
