Cathlynn Doré Law J esse poked his head into the greenhouse. “What are you doing?” he asked. Grandma was on her knees, holding a digging tool. “Do you see these kale plants?” Grandma lifted a leaf with her finger. “These are baby kale plants.” “Oh,” Jesse said. He had seen the little green-andpurple crinkly leaves in his salads. And Mommy used kale in her yummy stir-fry. She used little chunks of onions and shredded carrots too. “Weeds are trying to crowd out the kale plants,” Grandma said, digging in the dirt with her tool. “I am 2 pulling out the weeds so the kale can be healthy and grow well.” Jesse looked closely at some of the tiny plants. Picking out one, he asked, “Is this a weed?” “Yes,” Grandma replied. “That is a weed! Now do you want to know how to pull out the weed so it won’t come back?” Grandma asked. “Yes!” Jesse nodded. “Watch,” Grandma said. She dug in the dirt. “Now put your fingers way down on the stem of the weed. Carefully, move it back and forth, then pull.” Grandma held up a little green weed with a white string hanging below it. “This is the root,” Grandma explained, pointing at the little white string. “If you don’t want the weed to come back, you must pull up the weed with its root.” Jesse nodded. Then he copied what he had seen Grandma do. Holding up the weed, he exclaimed, “Grandma, I got the root!” Grandma grinned. “So you did! Good job, Jesse!” With each weed, Jesse proudly showed Grandma the root. He began to notice spaces of dirt among the kale plants. They were getting many weeds out of the kale garden! Suddenly, Jesse jerked his hand back. “Ouch!” he cried. Grandma looked where Jesse had pulled up a prickly weed. “Oh, that is a thistle weed, Jesse. It has tiny stickers on it. I’m sorry it hurt you.” Grandma brushed his finger lightly and kissed it. “Jesse, do you know what?” Grandma asked as they began to pull weeds again. “Weeds are like anger and disobedience that Satan tries to grow in our heart gardens. Anger and disobedience can hurt us just as that thistle hurt you. We need Jesus to help us pull those weeds out of our heart gardens, don’t we?” Jesse quietly thought about how his heart was like a garden. He thought about how anger and disobedience could hurt him just as the weeds could hurt the kale. Jesse grabbed another weed and yanked it out. “Jesus is stronger than naughty Satan, isn’t He?” Jesse asked. “Yes, He is.” Grandma smiled. If his heart was like a garden, Jesse wanted Jesus to help him pull all the sins out—by the roots! OLF “squeak-squeak” “oink-oink” Activity Weeding With Grandma “moooooooo” “baaaaaaa” “cock-a-doodle-do” “hee-haw” God gave each of His creatures a different voice. Draw a line from each animal to the sound it makes. 3

Kindergarten Lesson 3 for July 18–24, 2020 Memory Verse: “Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening” (1 Samuel 3:9, NIV). References: 1 Samuel 3:1–10; Patriarchs and Prophets, pp. 581, 582. The Message: We serve God when we listen to His voice. Ears to Hear When someone calls you to come, do you go quickly? Or do you move slowly or not at all? Little Samuel heard someone calling him. What do you think he did? E li, the old priest, slept peacefully in his bed. The boy Samuel slept soundly nearby. “Samuel! Samuel!” the Lord spoke. Samuel opened his eyes. Had someone called him? He hurried to Eli’s bedside. 6 “Here I am!” Samuel said, entering Eli’s darkened room. “You called me.” Eli opened his eyes. “I didn’t call you,” he said sleepily. “Go back to bed.” Samuel did as he was told and quickly fell asleep again. “Samuel! Samuel!” the Lord called again. Samuel’s eyes popped open. He hopped out of bed. That surely must be Eli calling him. He hurried to Eli’s room. “Here I am,” he said. “You called me.” Eli opened his eyes again. “I didn’t call,” he whispered. “Go back to bed.” Samuel walked slowly out of Eli’s room. Someone had called him. If it wasn’t Eli, who could it be? Samuel did not recognize the Lord’s voice, because he had never heard it before. Samuel lay back down. Very soon he was sound asleep again. “Samuel! Samuel!” the Lord said a third time. Samuel opened his eyes. Once more he hurried to Eli. “Here I am; you called me,” he said. Suddenly, Eli knew who was calling the boy. “Go back to bed,” Eli said. “If He calls you again, say, ‘Speak, Lord, for Your servant is listening.’ ” Samuel’s heart may have begun to beat faster. Could it really be the Lord speaking to him? Why? Why would the Lord call his name? Samuel went back to bed. But this time he probably lay there with his eyes wide open. He waited. He listened. “Samuel! Samuel!” the Lord called again. And Samuel answered, “Speak, for Your servant is listening.” Samuel, even though he was still a child, would listen to the Lord. Samuel truly wanted to be His helper. God wants you to listen to Him today. He wants you to be His helper too. You listen to Him when you listen to His words from the Bible. You listen to Him when you learn your memory verse. Listen carefully to God’s words when you read the Bible. They will help you to be His helper every day. OLF Parents: Daily lesson activities can be found in the Kindergarten Bible Study Guide (quarterly). The page 7 story will help you help your child apply the lesson story to his or her life. Big, Scary Sounds Rob Robinson M ama!” Jaime called. “Mama! Come here.” Mama came running into Jaime’s bedroom. He was curled up, hiding under his blanket. “What’s the matter?” Mama asked. “I thought you were already asleep.” “I heard something outside my window,” Jaime explained. “It sounded big and scary.” Mama peeked outside Jaime’s window. She looked and listened carefully. Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit is what she heard. “Those are just some frogs down by the creek. They’re still awake, and they’re just calling out to other frogs—kinda like looking for their friends,” Mama explained. “The frogs are nothing to be afraid of; they can’t hurt you in any way. You’re safe in your bed. I love you. Good night.” Mama leaned over and gave Jaime another good-night kiss. Jaime closed his eyes and tried really hard to fall asleep. But before too long, his eyes were wide open. He pulled the blankets up and over his head. “Mama!” he cried out. “Mama—come here!” Once again Mama came and sat down on the edge of Jaime’s bed. “What’s the matter?” Mama asked. “I heard something outside my window. This time it sounded really big and scary.” Jaime peeked out from under his blankets to watch Mama look out the window again. Mama looked, and she listened very carefully. Then she heard it too! Whoo, whoo, whoo, whooo! When Jaime heard the sound, he ducked under his blankets again. “I told you it sounded big and scary!” Jaime told his mother. “It’s just an owl, sitting way up high in the pine tree in our backyard. Owls are awake all night long. You’re safe inside your bed,” Mama reassured Jaime. Mama sat down on the edge of Jaime’s bed. “I can tell you’re a good listener. You remind me of another little boy we read about that was a good listener too.” Jaime’s eyes lit up. “Do you mean Samuel?” he asked. “That’s exactly who I was thinking of,” Mama answered. “But Samuel wasn’t busy listening for frogs or owls. Do you remember who he was listening to?” “He was listening to God,” Jaime said. Just then Jaime wrinkled up his eyebrows and added, “But Mama, I can’t hear God like Samuel did. All I can hear at night are frogs and owls! How can I listen to God?” “You use your ears to listen at Sabbath School. You use your ears to listen while Papa reads Bible stories at worship time,” Mama explained. She stood up and walked over to the CD player on top of Jaime’s dresser. “And you can use your ears to listen to some pretty music about Jesus,” she said as she began one of Jaime’s favorite quiet time CDs. “I really like that way,” Jaime said with a sleepy smile. “I’ll listen to God that way and not worry about the frogs and owls.” And soon Jaime was sound asleep, listening to pretty music about Jesus.

Singing to Jesus Betty Kossick T roy loves to sing about Jesus. When Troy’s baby brother, Trey, was born, Troy started singing Jesus songs to him. Mom and Dad always smile when Troy sings to Trey. “You make Jesus happy by singing songs to your brother,” they say. When Trey was seven months old, Dad asked Troy to help wheel Trey’s crib into Troy’s room. “When will Trey and I get our bunk beds?” Troy asked. When Trey was born, Mom and Dad promised Troy that he and Trey could share a bedroom and have bunk beds. 8 “It will be a while, Troy. Trey needs to grow up some before he can sleep in a bunk bed,” Dad said. “But when he is ready, we will take you with us to the furniture store to help us choose the beds.” “That’s a deal, Dad!” Troy smiled. Troy hoped he wouldn’t have to wait too long. Troy was excited to have Trey as his roommate. That night, Mom bathed baby Trey, dried him, and dressed him in his pajamas. Then she tucked him into his crib. “I’ll be right back, Trey,” Troy said, “as soon as I get my bath.” However, by the time Troy came back to the bedroom, Trey was asleep. Mom read the story of David and Goliath to Troy. “Thanks, Mom. That’s one of my favorite Bible stories,” Troy said. “Thank you, Troy, for listening,” Mom said. Then she helped him learn his memory verse and pray. As they said, “Amen,” Troy added, “I’m glad that Trey can share my room.” Then Troy started singing loudly, and Baby Trey whimpered in his sleep. Mom put her fingers to her lips and said, “Shh, Troy. You are singing too loudly. You will wake Trey.” Troy bent his head and looked down at his hands, rubbing them on the knees of his pajamas. His feelings were hurt. If he had to be quiet, he wasn’t sure he was going to like having Trey in his room after all. “But Mom, it’s the way I always sing songs to Jesus. How can Jesus hear me all the way up in heaven if I don’t sing loud?” “I’m sorry, Troy, I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings, but Jesus can hear you even if you whisper. He hears everything you say or sing. You know when you and I sit on the rocking chair and I hum, ‘Jesus Loves You,’ I don’t even say the words when I hum. That’s very quiet, but Jesus hears. So let’s try again.” Troy straightened up, looking happy again. He softy sang, “Jesus Loves the Little Children.” Mom smiled, Troy smiled, and Dad came around the corner smiling. He lifted Troy up in a big hug. Baby Trey slept soundly because they all spoke quietly. “Remember, Troy, your Sabbath School class will be singing for church service this week. You can sing to Jesus to your heart’s content. Remember that one of these days, Trey will be singing with you,” Dad said. Troy smiled, “Goody! I’ll teach him how to sing to Jesus, and we will sing together.” OLF *OLF200718* OLF200718
