Free Come Follow Me Activities for Job

This week, we are learning all about Job. I love how much God loved Job and that Job never lost faith in Him. In fact, it was his faith in Jesus Christ that sustained him even when the unimaginable happened. I also love that this is a story of friendship; we see examples of what a good and not-so-good friend looks like. Before it goes bad, his friends did some wonderful things. They came, they sat with him, they mourned with him, and I love that example! 

I had a little bit of a hard time coming up with a way to bring Job's story down to a level that felt age-appropriate for younger ones. You know your kids and what they need, and I hope you find something that works for your family or primary class :) I included activities to help you teach the story and explain that God is with us through the good and hard times. We are also going to talk about what it means to be a good friend and share our testimony of Jesus Christ. This one was a hard one for me, but I have loved studying this book. It was actually a really good week for me to have this on my mind; my daughter just started home MTC yesterday, and I've been struggling a little bit. We can all learn from Job's example :) Also, I'd love to know what you learned this week or what resources you use to study! Have a wonderful week, and thank you for stopping by!

Free Come Follow Me Activities for Esther

This week we are covering one of my favorite stories, Esther. I think it's one of my favorites because my children love to watch the Liken movie, Esther and the King and so its one I am very familiar with. Her story and bravery are truly remarkable. This week as I studied my love for this book grew even more. Here are a few thoughts I had this week while reading and studying these chapters. First, I want to be more like Mordecai! The more I learned about him the more I saw his deep love for Esther, he took her in as his own and continued to love and care for her in anyway he could.   Another thought, in their deepest trial their response was to fast.  Fasting is not just a sign of faith but a sign of hope. The last one is I learned this week is that God is not mentioned anywhere in this book but I there is evidence of Him and His involvemnt is everywhere. He really is in the details of our lives. As you look for Him in your life you will always find him and begin to recognize Him more clearly. 

I am so excited to share these activities with you! We actually have three topics this week, service, bravery, and fasting all centered around the book of Esther.   The instructions are in the download below. Let me know if you have any questions and I hope there is something that works for your family or primary class this week. Have a wonderful week!
