First of all, this week's memorizing work is :
Proverbs 3:5 - Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
Next, while I am gone celebrating my daughter's 30th birthday, I wanted you to work on a blog answer for me. Today and Thursday, rotate through the class and each of you blog me an answer to this question:
In class, you have already written me one moral to the story of Joseph. Think of another lesson or moral for the story of Joseph. You CANNOT use the things we have already mentioned. Think hard - shouldn't have to be too hard because there are a MILLION lessons in Joseph - and blog me at least one more lesson you can learn studying the story of Joseph.
In case you don't remember, the morals/lessons we have already talked about and therefore you cannot use include:
1. never lie because it will come back to haunt you
2. listen to your father
3. always persevere and never give up
4. always believe in God
5. obey your parents because you will hurt them if you don't
6. trust that God has a plan for you even if it is not what you are planning, and He has a plan for everything and is always in control. Remember, whatever happens is in his plan for you.
7. respect
8. jealousy causes serious problems in relationships
9. God has a purpose for everything.
10. We all sin and make mistakes. Instead of committing the sin again, learn from the mistake.
Need a hint on other lessons/morals? Look at today's memory verse! There is one Joseph message hidden in the meaning of that verse - but there are lots and lots of others.
Another moral in the story Joseph is to always forgive and do not hold grudges.It is always good to forgive not matter what the situation is. God will always help you forgive.
ReplyDeleteAnother moral is to listen to your parents. If you listen to your parents you could save yourself a lot of guilt. Also they will always forgive which is another moral and something we should do.
ReplyDeleteAnothere moral is that violence is never the answer. Violence only leads to bad things. It will always come back to bite you in the butt.
ReplyDeleteAnother Morals is that if you have a problem with some body or you dissagree with somebody you should not hurt them. Vilonce is the wrong way to go and selling them as a slave is also very bad too
ReplyDeleteAnother moral I found in Joseph's story was not to envy others because of their talents. God has given each and every one of us a talent, and we need to be thankful for it. Some of us haven't found our talents yet, but someday we will all find our way.
ReplyDeleteAlthough you may be afraid always do what is right becuase only bad things come when you do not do what you know is right and true. Judah did not do what was right and ended up paying the price. Although he was thinking of his last son and he believed to be doing it out of love it was wrong and becuase he did not make the right choice he was punished. Always do what is right.
ReplyDeleteA moral I saw was that you must always believe in God. Joseph never stopped believing in God even when he was being harassed by the overseer.
ReplyDeleteA moral I saw was that if you know that you are doing something wrong dont't continue doing it learn from it and move on. If you don't it'll come back and haunt you. What goes around comes around!
