D6 Home Connection for week of Feb. 19
Listen to God: Read Numbers 22:21-41
God will go to great lengths to protect His people. This passage describes one of the
Bible’s strangest incidents. Balaam’s donkey took drastic measures to avoid God’s angel
who held a drawn sword. It was an unusual method of communication for God to use, but
it sure did serve as a reminder that God is in control. He has ultimate authority over all
things. Lead your family in a discussion about this passage and what Balaam might have
thought when He heard that donkey speak.
Talk to God
Submitting to authority is not an easy thing for many to do. God has full authority
over us and can do whatever He chooses to do. It’s interesting that He
still gives us the freedom to make choices on our own. Encourage your family
members to recognize God’s authority in their lives and pray together for His
help with submitting to His authority daily.
Walk With God
Option 1: The more we know and understand about God, the easier it will be to respect His authority.
If the weather is pleasant, go outside to admire God’s creation. If weather is an issue,
look out a window to see what you can observe. Remind your family of God’s power over
nature, how He spoke it all into existence and has complete control over it (Mark 4:39). We
should trust God’s authority because He is our all-knowing, loving, holy Creator. Encourage your
family members to respect God’s authority and allow Him to work through their weaknesses.
Option 2: Choose a game your family members like to play (at least some of them) and play it together. Follow
some of the rules but randomly announce new ones whenever you feel like it. (When you roll a three, you
get to go again. When you land on this space you get to move someone else backward 9 spaces.) When you
are asked questions about why you are doing it, explain that you want to make some changes to the game.
Your attempts to make the changes will likely be unpopular with the rest of the players. Lead your family in
a discussion about the importance of recognizing authority. If every player could make his or her own rules,
there would be no authority. Remind your family that God has ultimate authority in our lives. We cannot
make up our own rules and expect a good outcome.

Listen to God: Read Numbers 20:2-13; Deuteronomy 3:23-29
These passages describe a very serious mistake made by Moses as he led the children of Israel.
Moses was generally a good leader, but at one critical point in his life he carelessly lost
his temper. The event resulted in God’s judgment for him, and an important lesson about
obedience for us. Lead your family in a discussion about what this meant for Moses.
Talk to God
The manner in which we try to bring blessings to others may be just as important
as anything else. God wanted to bless Israel through Moses’ speaking
to the rock, but Moses chose to strike it. It’s important to understand that
almost obeying is still disobedience. Have a time of silent prayer with your
family. Encourage family members to identify things they may need to confess
to God as well as asking Him for courage to be completely obedient
Walk With God
Option 1: As you’re driving with the family, ask them to name traffic laws and the reasons
behind them, if they know them. Encourage every family member to name at least one. Depending
on the age of your children, it might be necessary to choose a different set of laws/
rules to discuss.
These rules we’ve talked about are important. If we chose not to follow them, it could be very bad
for us. God has provided many rules for us to follow as well. We need to be careful to follow them completely.
Remember that partial obedience is the same as disobedience.
Option 2: Choose a multi-part task like following a recipe for chocolate chip cookies. Gather all the ingredients
and follow all the steps except adding the chocolate chips. Bake some of the cookies like that, but add chocolate
chips to the rest of the dough to complete the steps. Put the cookies without the chips on a plate and
announce to the family that you are serving some chocolate chip cookies. Wait for the surprised looks and
inevitable comments regarding the lack of chocolate chips. Say, Well, I followed ever other step of the recipe
perfectly. I only left out one thing. Allow the family members to comment on your mistake before bringing
out the cookies that contain the chips. Lead your family in a discussion about complete obedience and the
difference it made for Moses. Encourage them to strive for obedience in every area of their lives this week.
Week 11

D6 Family Theme: Obedience
The Point: God expects His people to obey His commands.
The one page for every age
Early Elementary
Today your student learned about the importance of total obedience and
the consequences of sin. When the Israelites began complaining again
about the lack of water, God gave Moses instructions on what to do.
However, Moses obeyed the fi rst and second part of God’s instructions, but
disobeyed on the last part. God told him he was not allowed to enter the
Promised Land as the consequence for his disobedience. Help your student
learn the seventh and eighth commandments.
Upper Elementary
Today your student learned about the importance of total obedience
through the example of Moses’ partial obedience. God gave Moses
instructions on how to provide water for the Israelites. However, Moses’
only obeyed the first and second part of God’s instructions and disobeyed
the last part. The consequence for his disobedience was that Moses was
not allowed to enter the Promised Land.

Valentine's Day Treasure Hunt
Items Needed: clues (below)
Treat—candy, cookies, or small prizes
Celebrate Valentine's Day with a treasure hunt.
Print the clues below (or make up your own) and hide them all, except the first one. Give the kids the first clue to start the hunt. Wrap a small gift for each child or put a box filled with goodies for them to find at the end. (You may have to adapt these a little for your house.)
Clue 1: Look on the bookcase to find what you must do.
If you do this, you will get your next clue.
Clue 2: Say “I love you” three times as quickly as can be;
Then look behind the TV if your clue you want to see.
Clue 3: Roses are red, violets are blue;
Go to the guest room to find your next clue.
Clue 4: Kiss each person on the forehead.
Then go look under your parent’s bed.
Clue 5: I wonder where the next clue will hide;
Maybe in the place where the clothes are dried.
Clue 6: Say something nice to each person in the
room.
Then go to the place where we keep the broom.
Clue 7: Good things come to those who look;
A clue can be found in a favorite book.
Clue 8: Concerning clues, if you want to find more.
Go to your dresser and count down four.
Clue 9: Turn around now and give each person a hug;
Then go to the bathroom and look under the rug.
Clue 10: If you want to find Clue Number 10,
Look in the room where people come in.
Clue 11: This hunt is fun; we think it’s really neat.
Look on the bottom of what you put on your feet.

What Makes You Feel Loved?
Ask:
What makes you feel loved?
(Listen carefully and you may get good insight to your child's heart.)
Read John 14:15 (If you love me, you will keep my commandments.)
When we love God, we obey His commandments; we do what He has told us to do.
First John 3:23 says that we should love one another. How? We should love with good deeds and truth . . . not just with words (1 John 3:18).
Draw names (keeping it a secret) and do something for the person whose name you drew that would make him or her feel loved.
Ten Commandments Memory Game
Keep reviewing the Ten Commandments.
Play the memory game sent home by the kids. If you don't have the game, write each commandment twice (with a pencil so it won't show through on other side). Write them on red paper hearts if you want to be festive! Turn them all over, scramble them up, and take turns choosing two to see if you can find a match. The one with the most matches wins!

D6 Family Connection
Listen to God: Read Numbers 13:26—14:10
After covering hundreds of miles, the spies gave their report to the community. They agreed that the land was a wonderful place, flowing with milk and honey, and producing great fruit.
They should have stopped the report there because they went on to scare the people with reports of the size and strength of the people who lived there. Caleb did not overlook the danger, but he saw beyond it to the promises of God (13:30). The others caved in to fear but Caleb showed his courage.
Talk to God. It’s often human nature to complain or adopt a “woe is me” attitude rather than show courage or willingness to do something difficult. Courage and faith go hand-in-hand so we need to exercise our faith more in these situations.
Lead your family in a time of prayer, asking the Lord to increase your
faith, which will increase your courage.
Walk With God
Option 1: Many Christians around the world are courageously braving dangerous situations.
As a family, take on a project to encourage these individuals. Pack a large shoebox with goodies, encouraging cards, and other helpful items to send to a missionary family. Contact organizations to learn about specific areas of need. Visit http://www.persecution.com/colombia for another idea on helping persecuted Christians. Pray each day for specific people in different
countries. Remind your family of the truth in Joshua 1:9.
Option 2: It is very important to talk to your kids about your own struggles with hard situations. Hearing your story can actually be one way to give them courage. (If my dad was afraid on his first day of school and he made it, so can I!) Write the following situations on slips of paper (first day of school, spending the night away from home, a bad storm, facing a bully, getting lost from a parent, facing peer pressure, standing for what is right, or others you think of). Allow each family member to choose a question from the pile. Ask the following questions:
How would you feel in this situation? What could you do so you could face this situation with courage?
Continue letting each person pick a slip of paper and brainstorm ideas about what to do in each situation.

He or she learned about the consequences of the people who didn’t trust
God and His blessings on Caleb and Joshua and their families. Help your
student learn the fi fth and sixth commandments. Use the activities found in
the Family Link as a tool to help your student apply the lessons learned at

SPLINK! FEB 5- FEB 11
Splinks for February 5th - February 11th
1 What is Courage?
Items Needed: seven small pieces of paper
Write each letter of the word courage on a small piece of paper and hide them around the room when the kids aren't looking. Invite them to find letters to a word that will help them every day. After the letters have been found, unscramble them to make the word courage.
In class, your kids learned about two men—Caleb and Joshua—who had courage. Moses sent 12 spies to search out the Promised Land. Two spies (Caleb and Joshua) gave a good report while 10 spies gave a bad report. The ten said they could not win against the people because they were like giants. But Caleb and Joshua encouraged the people to follow God who would help them win.
Why is it hard to stand up for what's right? (Others might make fun of us, exclude us, fight against us, etc.)
What is courage? (Doing the right thing even though you may feel afraid)
Discuss ways to have courage in the situations below:
◦Others are saying bad things about your parents
◦Your teacher says that we all evolved
◦You did something wrong and your mom asks, "Did you ______?"
◦Your friends want to watch a TV show your parents forbid you to watch
◦Your friends make fun of someone
It is not always easy to stand up for what is right, but God can give you courage.
2 Know, Believe, Remember, Do!
Items Needed: four pieces of paper or a white board and marker
Write a blank line for each of the letters in the following words: KNOW, BELIEVE, REMEMBER, and DO. Tell the kids they have 10 guesses to figure out four words that will help them be more courageous. After the words are guessed, ask the kids to help you think about how each word can help them be courageous.
Sometimes it is hard to be courageous and stand up for what is right.
How can these four words help us?
◦KNOW what is right. God has given clear instructions about right and wrong in the Bible. One of the first questions to ask when we are not sure what to do is, “What does God say about this?”
◦BELIEVE God’s Word. Caleb and Joshua believed that God had the power to help them conquer the land He had promised them. They believed God, so they spoke up and reassured others that God's Word will always come true. They cared more about what God thought than what others thought.
◦REMEMBER that God is with you. He has promised to be with you always and can give you courage. (Read Hebrew 13:5.) God and you make a majority! Say a quick prayer to Him when you need courage. He is with you and will help you.
◦DO what is right no matter how you feel. Caleb and Joshua probably felt afraid when the others wanted to stone them, but that didn’t stop them from doing the right thing. Never forget that God rewards those who DO what is right.

OR
Set the alarm to go off at different times of day or evening and review the commandments. The first person to run to the alarm (or designated spot) and say the first commandment is the first winner. Set the alarm again and the first person to get to the alarm and say the next commandment is the next winner. (You will set the alarm 10 times.) Cheer for the one who arrived first and said the correct commandment the most times!
