Next Sunday is Mother’s Day, and our Fourth Graders will be making a special gift for their mothers. Several pupils have already asked if we will be doing that, so they are definitely thinking about how to honor their mothers. And that’s terrific!
In our study this month of our families, and how Old Testament Bible families help us learn how we can support our families, we will actually be learning about brothers and sisters. The story of Jacob and Esau starts out with some pretty serious sibling rivalry, as the two brothers scheme and fight, to the point of Esau’s threatening to kill his twin brother Jacob. But we’ll be focusing on the end of the story, with Jacob and Esau being reconciled after some twenty years of separation. It’s a great ending when Jacob bows down before Esau (seven times—a Bible record!) and Esau hugs and kisses his brother.
No one says that getting along in the family is easy. But God can help us choose to be respectful, forgiving, and considerate of our family members, and help us to see and consider their different viewpoints and needs. A Fourth Grader is in a great position to be able to help her family be a wonderful place to live (just as God meant it to be!).
Tell your mother “Happy Mother’s Day!” and invite her to come to Sunday School this Sunday, too.
Tom and Sydney Cook
