PASSAGE: The Seals
MEMORY VERSE: "Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good? But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. "Do not fear what they fear; do not be frightened." 1 Peter 3:13
NOTES: The Seven Seals: "Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, "Come!" (v.1)
FIRST SEAL: "...there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conquerer bent on a conquest"
SECOND SEAL (v.4) "Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. It's rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other."
THIRD SEAL (v.5) "Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying "A quart of wheat for a day's wages, and three quarts of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!"
FOURTH SEAL: "I looked, and there before me was a pale hors! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth."
FIFTH SEAL (v9): "...the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained....Each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer"
SIXTH SEAL(v12) "The sun turned black like a sackcloth....the whole moon turned blood red, and the stars in the sky fell to earth...They sky receded like a scroll....and every mountain and island was removed from its place"
ACT OF LOVE: Today, since my family was busy prepping for the big Thanksgiving dinner, I helped take care of Bambi throughout the day by feeding him, taking him on (many) walks, and cleaning him.

-My church family: for being my closest friends, for providing much-needed spiritual support, and for being the highlight of my week
-My school friends: for being the funniest, nicest, smartest, and weirdest group of people I could ever wish for
