LIFE ELECTIVE 10

OBJECT LESSON: MILK, OIL AND FLOUR

DIRECTIONS: You will need ¾ cup of milk, 3 tbsp. of cooking oil, food colouring, 1 cup of flour, a mixing bowl and a spoon. Colour the milk with food colouring so that it will contrast with the oil when the oil is added. Add the cooking oil to the milk and ask your child to mix the two ingredients together. The water and oil may appear to mix initially, but will eventually separate again. Explain that the water and oil represent two people who are having a hard time getting along or accepting each other's differences. Give examples that are appropriate to your children's lives. Next, measure out the flour. Explain that the flour represents the Holy Spirit. Have your children mix the flour, water and oil together. When the flour is added, the other two ingredients will no longer separate.

Ephesians 4:2-3 (New International Version) Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. When we allow God's Holy Spirit to fill us, we will find it easier to be humble, gentle and patient with others. The result of God's Spirit living in us is that we will experience more peace in our relationships with others.

MEMORY VERSE ROMANS 15:7 Honor God by accepting each other, as Christ has accepted you.

3. The body. Also known as the main text. This includes the message you want to write. Normally in a friendly letter, the beginning of paragraphs is indented. If not indented, be sure to skip a space between paragraphs. Skip a line after the greeting and before the close. Example: I heard you broke your arm last night. I was sad upon hearing the news.

5. The signature line. Type or print your name. The handwritten signature goes above this line and below the close. The signature line and the handwritten signature are indented to the same column as the close. The signature should be written in blue or black ink. If the letter is quite informal, you may omit the signature line as long as you sign the letter. Example: Teacher Mimay
