Esther & Being Used of God
What is the coolest thing you could do in life? May I submit being utilized by God! For whatever reason God uses imperfect us, to accomplish His mission. It may not be easy or fun, but the question is are you useable. Esther struggled, but stepped up! Where can you step out of the struggle this week?

In Action
Go here for directions to make these cookies. Prepare the dough the night before. Sunday morning have your children help you roll them out, cut them out, add filling, and roll them up into hat shapes. Leave enough time for them to cook, about 15 – 20 minutes, and cool. While you are making the cookies explain to your children that Jews make these cookie for the Purim holiday. The cookies are shaped like hats to represent Haman’s three-cornered hat.
