Ran out of time around Merkins/Swing Rows. As a groups did about 3mins of absolutions. Don’t know what I was thinking for trying to complete 100 of those.

MOLESKINE: 1000 is used 120-130 times in the Bible.

The number 1000 carries special symbolic significance in the Bible, often representing completeness, fullness, or vastness beyond human comprehension.

The symbolic use of 1000 in the Bible invites us to expand our thinking and perception of God’s work in the world. It challenges us to look beyond our immediate circumstances and consider God’s eternal perspective and vast plans for creation.

1. Deuteronomy 7:9 – “Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments.” Here, 1000 symbolizes God’s enduring faithfulness.
2. Exodus 20:6 – “But showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.” Here, 1000 is used to express the vastness of God’s love for His faithful followers.
3. 1 Chronicles 16:15 – “He remembers his covenant forever, the promise he made, for a thousand generations.” This verse emphasizes the eternal nature of God’s covenant.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: check slack

COT: count off, name-o-rama, Prayers for El Captain for end of year work rush, Derby’s grandmother who passed away and all those not having a place or people to celebrate the holidays with, Malibu’s job search, Sickness going around with kiddos. Coffeeteria.

MOLESKINE:

There’s a Hebrew word my family meditates on during Passover: “Dayenu” meaning “it is sufficient.” Thanksgiving is also a good time to reflect on this idea & the meaning of contentment. Think about areas in your life where you may be struggling with envy or a simple desire to acquire more. Try to apply this principle of Dayenu & rest in God’s provision for your life.

MOLESKINE:
Many of my students are rude in avoidable ways (interrupting, addressing teachers too casually, etc.). This is really throwing me off because I was raised so differently. So that made me realize that they learned it from somewhere. Their dads aren’t correcting them or are modeling bad behavior. We need to model good behavior and raise our children well to be the kind of people we want to hang out with.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
– tussle next Saturday

COT:
– prayers for Étouffée ‘s meetings today and Stubs rambunctious boys.
