HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
This week at Chapel and JAM we talked about one big part to preparing our meals, blessing it! We read from the story in Matthew 14 where Jesus blessed the bread and fish. It gave us a chance to talk about why its important to bless our food. In our classrooms we bless our snacks and lunch to remember to give God thanks for taking care of us. So I challenaged to remember when they are outside of school and at their Thanksgiving Meal. We made a little saying, "before I eat, I will Bless it!" They may want to start saying their God our Father meal prayer a little more than normal, but that is great. At this time of the year we are reminded to give thanks for many things, and God is the reason for it all. Our verse this week was from Matthew 14:l6, Jesus said, "Do not make them go, you give them food." So enjoy all the wonderful blessing of this season and remember the reason we have them.
