FAMILY PLUS Preschool "Listen to your Mom and Dad" - May 16

Dear Parent & Grandparents,

This week when your preschooeler chooses to obey you, comment: “Thank you for listening and doing what I asked you to do. This is called obeying. You have reminded me of your Bible story.” With your Bible open, review the Bible story. After you finish, ask: “Did David obey his father?” (Yes)  Say: “In Proverbs 1:8, the Bible tells you to listen to your mother and father.” Show your child Proverbs 1:8 in the Bible.

This Sunday, May 19, 2013, Your preschooler will hear this story -
David Obeyed his Father 1 Samuel 16:11-12; 17:12-22
Bible Story Brief -
• Jesse had eight sons. David, the youngest son, took care of his father’s sheep. David found green grass and cool water for them. He kept the sheep safe from wild animals. David was a good shepherd.
• Three of David’s older brothers were soldiers in King Saul’s army. One day Jesse said, “David, take food to your brothers who are in the army. Take cooked grain and loaves of bread. Also, take cheese to the commander. Find out how your brothers are doing.”
• Early the next morning, David found someone to take care of the sheep while he was away. He packed up the grain, the bread, and the cheese. Then he began walking to the camp where his brothers were.
• When David arrived at the army camp, he saw all the soldiers leaving to go to battle. David found the man who was in charge of the food and other supplies. He gave the grain, bread, and cheese to the man.
• Then David ran to where the soldiers were. He looked and looked until he found his brothers. He talked to his brothers and found out how they were and what they were doing.
• David did all that his father had asked. David had obeyed his father.
