Page 5 of 7 GREEN NIGHT – GROWING IN THE LORD
Look up all the scriptures about how God wants us to be continually growing in His ways, and how He wants us to be always green, even in times of drought. For this meal, serve everything on their plates green. It will be a healthy meal because you can serve all the green leafy vegetables. You could color the potatoes green also. When the children ask why everything is green, once again, say, "Wait and see." After Bible reading and questions you will encourage them to be continually growing in the Lord. They will always remember this because of the green meal. Meal times are the greatest way to make our children understand the meaning of the scriptures. Suggested Scriptures for you to choose: Psalm 1:3; 52:8; 92:13,14; Proverbs 11:28; Jeremiah 17:7,8; Ezekiel 47:12; 1 Timothy 4:15; 1 Peter 2:2; 2 Peter 3:18.
COMPOSE A SONG TOGETHER
Previously to the mealtime, look up a number of scriptures about singing and praising the Lord and especially singing a new song to the Lord. After reading the scriptures, encourage all the family to write a song. Do it together. It only has to be a very simple song. Then think of a tune and sing it together. Suggested Scriptures for you to choose: Psalm 5:11; 33:3; 40:1-3; 96:1-4; Psalm 91; Psalm 100; 144:9; Isaiah 42:10-13; Ephesians 5:18-20; Colossian 2:7; 1 Thessalonians 5:18; Revelation 5:9,10; 14:3.
