the story of Jessica and her forgotten bookbag
SUMMARY
Jessica forgets her bookbag at home and has to borrow supplies from her friends. But her friends want too much from her and she is left unprepared. Find out why Jessica keeps saying, "That's not fair!?
LESSONS/ MORALS
The theme of this story is economic justice. It teaches lessons about fairness, justice, and balance.
bible/lesson correlate
The story teaches a lesson about fairness and the consequences of economic injustice. Jessica wants to borrow school supplies from her friends, but her friends want her to pay back what she borrowed and more! Jessica decides to be unprepared because she doesn't think their terms are fair. Although we face similarities like this in society, the Bible teaches there is a time to cancel debts among family and friends. The principles of forgiveness, unity, and helping GOD's people are scattered throughout today's lesson.
"At the end of every seven years you must cancel debts... You may require payment from a foreigner, but you must cancel any debt your brother owes you." Deuteronomy 15:1-3, NIV
discussion questions
1. Why was Jessica unprepared for school?
2. What was Jessica's plan to get school supplies?
3. Why didn't Jessica borrow school supplies from her friends?
4. What phrase did Jessica say over and over again? Why?
5. What is economic justice?
6. Without economic justice, what societal issues and disparities arise? Think of as many as you can.
activity suggestions
1. Without economic justice, the number of homeless people rises. Think of a project you can do with your family, friends, or church family to help people who are living without a home. Help spread GOD's love by implementing the idea.
2. Scales are used as symbols in the courtroom, but so is a blindfolded woman. Do research to find out why the woman is blindfolded. Share it with your friends.

the story The Magic Notebook
SUMMARY
Amanda is afraid to go to sleep at night because she has bad dreams. An angel appears to her after a prayer and tells her to write the dreams she wants to have in a magic notebook.
LESSONS/ MORALS
Some of the lessons the story teach include: prayer changes things, the power in writing dreams and goals.
bible/lesson correlate
The story teaches a lesson about the power of prayer and the power of visualizing and writing. When you think about it, prayer requires imagination and creativity-- many of the same tools used in writing. When you write down your prayers, your visions, your goals, or your dreams, something inexplicable happens. Not only is it memorialized so that others may read and learn and act, it is concisely expressed in the physical which is one of the early steps in the process of manifestation.
"Then the Lord answered me and said: 'Write the vision and make it plain on the tablets, that he may run who reads it." Habakkuk 2:2, NKJV
discussion questions
1. Have you ever been afraid to go to sleep? Why?
2. Have you ever had a nightmare?
3. What did you do?
4. What did Amanda do after she had hers?
5. After the angel left Amanda, what did she see on her dresser?
6. What did she do with it?
7. Why do you think Amanda had good dreams later that night?
activity suggestions
1. Do you remember a bad dream you had? Write a story or draw a picture about the dream. Then say a prayer asking GOD to protect you from bad dreams. After you say Amen, ball up the picture/story and throw it away.
2. Try keeping a magic notebook of your own. Like Amanda, write down the dreams you want to dream and pray that GOD will send them to you. Email us and let us know the results!
