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!
