Dear Parents of Toddlers and Preschoolers,
I apologize for my inability to get this posted sooner. I must confess I have had a hard time making this happen, even though it is something I value immensely. The goal of our monthly Parent Cue is that we put into your hands the curriculum first so that you may be your child’s first teacher. I am sorry that I have not been able to keep it up and provide you with the monthly biblical topics so that you can be your child’s first teacher. So while its a week late here is the month of May.
Memory Verse: Isaiah 1:17 Learn to do what is right.
**If your child is ready to memorize the whole verse please do teach them the entire verse, its a wonderful verse for children to know and understand.
Learn to do what is right; seek justice.
Defend the oppressed.
Take up the cause of the fatherless;
plead the case of the widow.
May Weekly Lessons:
From this verse we learn that God wants us to do what is right; seek justice, defend the oppressed, and take care of those who are vulnerable. This will be the theme that comes out of every story.
May 6th Genesis 37:12-28; 41:36-56. We will learn that because of his great love for God, Joseph will choose to do the right thing.
May 13th Genesis 42:1-6; 45:1–46:7. This week we will see how God prepared Joseph to forgive his brothers. We will talk about how forgiveness is doing what God asks us to do, even when someone might not deserve it. What a great lesson to learn as we tie this to how God will send us Jesus to rescue us from our brokenness. We are able to forgive others because of God’s great forgiveness for us.
May 20th Daniel 1:1-16. God asks Daniel to obey him by following a specific diet. Once again our kids will see that obedience to God first comes from a deep love for him. Because of Daniel’s love for God he obeys and is blessed. God protects him in ways that are oh so exciting and wonderful.
May 27th Daniel 6:1-28. Its not always easy to do what is right. Daniel knows that it is wrong to pray to anyone but God and so, because of his love for God, he obeys and does what is right! But its not easy to do what is right because for Daniel it might mean death to do what is right. God will rescue Daniel, and continue rescuing His people over and over, and one day He will send another man who will do what God asks, even if it means death on the cross.
Spread the word!
