1 Samuel

1 Samuel 1-3, 8-11, and 16-17

Samuel is born to Hannah as a Nazarite dedicated to God. He is brought to the tabernacle to serve God. When Samuel got older he made his sons judges over Israel. His sons were Joel and Abijah. The Israelites vote on who would be a good King and Samuel anoints Saul to be king. Saul makes bad decisions and God rejects him from being the rightful king. God chooses David to be king.. Samuel anoints him when he is young.

I am thankful for good food (like tacos).

Judges

Othniel 3:7-11, Deborah 4-5, Gideon 6-8, and Samson 13-16

Being an honest leader is important because it gives an example to your people. The faith of the people lies in leaders and it's their job to be a good example. The leaders represent us so it's important that they hold themselves with dignity and treat others with respect.

Judges may exist to apply justice, but it's important that we are our own judges and jury. It's up to ourselves to act on our moral duty. We need to use the moral compass inside of us to point us the proper direction in life.

I am thankful for friends-giving.

Jaoshua 1-6

Joshua 1-6

After Moses dies, God calls to Joshua to lead the Israelites past the Jordan river. He will lead them into the promise land. God promises to never leave the Israelites and in turn they should always follow his laws. The people swear allegence to Joshua. Joshua sends two spies across the river in order to investigate the territory.

I am thankful for snow days and I really hope we get some this year.

Intention: everyone who wants show
