He lives with Eliin the tabernacle and helps him. Onenight while in bed, Samuel hears a voicecalling him. He gets up and goes to Eliand asks him what he wants. Eli says hedidn’t call Samuel and sends him backto bed. This happens a second time.When it happens the third time, Eli tellsSamuel to answer the voice and say,“Speak, Lord, for Your servant is listening.” Samuel does as Eli says andreceives a message from God. All duringthe rest of his life Samuel receives mes-12sages from God to share with others.This is a lesson about service.God called Samuel to help Him.Samuel said, “Yes,” and he did what Godasked. Samuel followed God’s instructionsto help others. When we follow God’sinstructions and help others, we are serving the Lord.Teacher Enrichment“Though Samuel’s youth was passedat the tabernacle devoted to the worship of God, he was not free from evil
oneinfluences or sinful example. . . . It washis constant endeavor to become whatGod would have him. This is the privilege of every youth. God is pleasedwhen even little children give themselves to His service. . . .“While he was yet a child, a linenephod was placed upon him as a tokenof his consecration to the work of thesanctuary. Young as he was whenbrought to minister in the tabernacle,Samuel had even then duties to performin the service of God, according to hiscapacity. These . . . [he] performed tothe best of his ability, and with a willingheart. His religion was carried into everyduty of life. He regarded himself as God’sservant, and his work as God’s work”(Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 573).Room DecorationsPrepare an indoor tabernacle scene,including a window with curtains withsome small white Christmas lights inthe back for stars; a table; a mat orbath towel for a bed; a lamp or acandle; some baskets and cleaning supplies.

He loved to watchthe fish, and loved to help feed them.One morning he began to complainabout his tummy hurting. “My tummyhurts, Mommy,” he said over and over.We took him to the doctor. After medication for two days, he still didn’t feelbetter. Eventually six doctors at the hospital examined him and decided he hada virus. Upon further review, we foundout that Bryan had tasted some of thefish water. He soon recovered to his full,active self. How we hurt for him in themeantime!Share a time when your child’s “help-15
Lesson 1fulness” created a problem. What is yournormal reaction when he or she tries tohelp? Are you encouraging or discouraging helpfulness?Week 2“I want to help you make bread,”Carson squealed. Oh, no, I thought. I justwant to get this done quickly. But in theback of my mind I knew I should let himhelp. So I did. After wiping up flour onthe floor, the chair that he stood on, andthe counter, I was glad I had let him help.“While they are still young, the mothershould give them some simple task todo each day. It will take longer for herto teach them how than it would to doit herself; but let her remember that sheis to lay for their character building thefoundation of helpfulness” (Counsels toParents, Teachers, and Students, p. 122).“Give your little children somethingto do, and let them have the happiness of supposing they help you” (ChildGuidance, p. 119).What simple tasks can you give yourchild to do at this age?Week 3I thanked my daughter-in-law for thenice meal and offered to do the dishes.She laughed and said, “He won’t letyou.” She smiled and nodded at myall-grown-up son. He carried the dishesto the sink and carefully washed, dried,and put them all away. Could this be thesame child to whom I had spoken againand again? “Please pick up your toys.”“Take your shoes to your room.” “Putthe books back on the bookshelf.” Nowhe was a capable adult. Someone whocould cook a meal, clean up after himself, and do laundry. I smiled and said aprayer of thanks to God for seeing methrough those days that I thought wouldnever end.16When you feel overwhelmed, be encouraged that there really is “a light atthe end of the tunnel.” Our God will bewith you every step of the way.What things are you facing that seemlike they’ll never end? What ways do youcope with those challenges?Week 4Contemplate this thought for amoment: “Motherhood defends hercradle with hands made iron by love,to save a life more worthy than herown” (Calvin Miller, The Divine Symphony[Bethany House Publishing, 2000]).Think about Hannah’s strength and sacrifice. She gave her young sonto serve in God’s house. It must havetaken great courage to send away thechild she had desperately wanted.What strengths has God given youthat help you prepare your childrenfor service?Week 5 (or optional)Our 2-year-old daughter was a copycat. We knew that, but sometimes weforgot. During our supper one eveningwe were talking about our day. “I hada miserable day,” I complained to myhusband. “And it didn’t help to haveMrs. G stop by for two hours.”“I’m sorry, honey,” my husbandresponded. “Let’s have a quiet, relaxingevening.”The next day Mrs. G stopped byagain. You guessed it. Our toddler mether at the door and said, “My mommydoesn’t want you to come here.”What an embarrassing lesson for me!And what a time I had trying to explainto Mrs. G.Tell about a time your child heardand repeated something unpleasant yousaid. How did you deal with it? Whatchanges did you make to avoid similarincidents in the future?
