Dear Firstie Parents,
I know that I have been a little neglectful with the blog as
of late…but there is SO MUCH going on! I hope that you are well and are
managing to stay healthy.
In Religion we have been learning about Moses and the people
of Israel. We learned about how they
were slaves in Egypt and were suffering.
God wanted them to be free from their slavery, so He sent Moses to ask
the Pharaoh to “let His people go”. Of
course, Pharaoh didn’t want to lose all of that free labor, so he said NO… many
times. And each time he said no, God
sent plagues to Egypt. The final plague,
was the worst one. God told Moses to
kill a perfect lamb, take the blood, and paint it on the door frames of each
house of the people of Israel and when the angel that He sent, saw the blood,
he would pass over that house. All of
the firstborn sons of the people of Egypt were killed and THAT is what finally
persuaded Pharaoh to let the people of Israel go for good. UNTIL, that is, he changed his mind one last
time and Israelites were forced to cross the Red Sea (BUT they did so on DRY
GROUND….which if you think about it, is AMAZING!). Once they crossed, they started their search
for the land that God promised them. And
while they were wandering around the wilderness they had the audacity to
grumble and complain. God heard their
grumbling and still provided for them.
He sent them quail and manna to eat.
Every time I read this, I am reminded how much like an Israelite I
am. Do I complain with the many, MANY
blessings I am given? Yep. I am convicted! But thankfully, God knows me, loves me, and
forgives me. Whew!
We are getting so much better at practicing our sounds,
making real words, and sometimes nonsense words. Keep up the good reading at home! The more practice, the better!

The Harvest Dinner is this weekend! If you have never been, it is so yummy! Because of COVID, it will be mostly take-out meals, but there will be a small area to eat, if you can’t possibly wait to eat! J Did your firstie tell you what was cooked today? Every time we went out into the hall I heard, “Miss Gallagher it smells so GOOD out here!”. To which I replied, “Just wait until tomorrow...it gets even better!”
Please keep Sunday, November 7th, on your
radar. We are singing in church at the
8:30 service! We have been working hard
on this song and I am excited to share it in worship.
Blessings,
“Jesus in ALL Things”
