*****************************************************

We spent the weekend out of town and woke up to some weirdness here, so there won't be a full lesson today.  Instead I've uploaded three flannel board stories---Samuel the Lamanite, Isaiah Prophesies of the Savior, and Jesus Christ's Birth.   I hope that this will help you as you teach your families about Christ this Christmastime.

It has been brought to my attention that some of my older lessons have been moved into the Scribd archives, which means that you have to pay a fee to download them.  The fee is nominal ($5 to download as many lessons as you want in 24-hours), but if you'd like me to send one or two of them to you as an email file let me know.  Unfortunately, due to my slow internet connection (30+ minutes to upload each lesson), I would not be able to email more than one or two lessons to you, but I'd be happy to do it if you let me know.

Faith and Courage: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego FHE Lesson

Another note:  I will probably be a little more sporadic in posting these lessons over the next few weeks during the holiday season.  I'll post what I can, but I anticipate not being able to do so every Monday.

  I love this story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and their faithfulness and courage while their lives were in mortal danger.  I think that it's important for kids to know that most likely they will never be placed in a life or death situation in defending their faith, but that the spiritual battles we face every day are every bit as dangerous to our eternal lives as a fiery furnace would be to our mortal lives. 

I also find it very interesting to ponder on the story of Abinadi in relation to this story.  They were both faced with very similar trials of their faith, but each had a very different outcome. It may be a fascinating discussion for older kids to talk about the differences, emphasizing that  Abinadi was no less faithful than Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, but that the Lord simply had a different overarching plan in place.

Thanksgiving and Service FHE Lesson

NOTE:  If you're looking for our family blog, go here.  This blog is now 100% FHE lessons and parenting topics.  :)

*****************************************************

Mondays always used to be my weekend recovery days.  I'd clean up, get caught up on laundry, menu plan, etc. and wait for my kids to come home, all the while putting these lessons together.   This year, however, I've found that Mondays are one of my craziest days of the week.  I'm feeling lucky to get this lesson done today and wondering whether I should choose another day to be my lesson typing/scanning day!  Finally after driving the carpool to Activity Days,  I just ran to the library (with girls still in tow) where I'm uploading the lesson in only 20 seconds instead of 20 minutes at home!  :)  

This lesson ties the concepts of gratitude with service.  The lesson is loosely based on Matthew 25:31-45, where you'll read, "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren ye have done it unto me."   I love teaching my family that gratitude is more than just saying thanks or making lists, but also is selflessly looking for ways to reach out to others.  While big, time-consuming service projects are wonderful, I want my family to understand that it's the small, daily acts of service that can be the most meaningful. 

I hope you'll enjoy "Erin, the Good Samaritan" with its cute visuals and the pictures to accompany Matthew 25:31-45.  My kids loved the service matching game to get their creative juices flowing in thinking of ways they can show service.
