Assignment for Friday, January 9

Here we are at the end of our first week. Friday ladies, would you please go back to answer question 6 since I forgot that one yesterday, and then question 9? Then please answer the Digging Deeper question.

I almost feel like I should gather up the trinkets to treasure as they are introduced at the end of each chapter so I can review the concepts periodically. Maybe I'll just throw them in once in a while during the study.

And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works. Hebrews 10:24 Woo-hoo!

Assignment for Thursday, January 8

Today's assignment is to answer questions 7 and 8. Have you been encouraged this week? Have you encouraged anyone? I was encouraged when Sarah called me on my way home last night offering to provide our dinner. I didn't happen to need it this time, but I think I smiled the rest of the way home. And then at our meeting, I was encouraged that the families with the young children made the effort to attend - even one without her husband. It helps me believe there is a future for the church here in Idaho when parents are committed enough to make the effort when it's really an effort. And again, since I was thinking about this topic because of this study, I was encouraged by the beautiful sunset that was developing as I drove home even before Sarah called. God gives us many blessings - some of which we can be too busy to notice.

Let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works. Oops. I forgot the "and" at the beginning. lol

Assignment for Wednesday, January 7

So far so good, ladies! Today I want you to continue to pray for eyes to see the encouragement around you and maybe even report to us what you are seeing so we can be encouraged with you. Answer questions 4 and 5.

Let me say that after all day babysitting it was really nice to come home to your comments. You all are encouraging me!

And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works.

Assignment for Tuesday, January 6

Today is a simple assignment. Answer questions 2 and 3. Remember to pray for eyes to see encouragement around you.

"And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works."

Assignment for Monday, January 5

Welcome back, everyone!! Our class is a little smaller this time around but of great quality. I have tried to keep you on the same day as before when it was possible. There will only be one person/day so if you can't make your day we will sorely miss you! You will find that this study is much lighter than the last, which may or may not be a good thing. You can decide. I will be adding an optional memory verse for those interested in stretching your brains - probably only one every other week or so, depending on the input of those who decide to participate. Another difference in this study: you will have to log on each day to know what your assignment is. If you have already examined the book you know that it is not divided up into daily segments as were the three before. Also, at the end of each lesson there is a section called "Ponder and Pray" which I prefer you to read on Monday so you can incorporate the prayer theme into the whole week.

So...for today, I want you to read the beginning section that ends with the first question. Skip to the end of the chapter to read the "Ponder and Pray" paragraph. Then go back to answer the "Clearing the Cobwebs" question. Finish today's study by answering question one and praying as directed in "Ponder and Pray." Whew - that sounds complicated but it really isn't.

As always, please feel free to comment or question as you do your lessons. That's what makes the study more interesting!

Are you wondering about interesting and flattering pictures? I assure you, they will show up now and then. I like to keep you guessing...

Optional memory verse: Hebrews 10:24
