Discuss the following as a family::

1. What did the people learn by gathering manna each day for their clan?  What experiences have taught you to depend on God and that God can be trusted? What do you think it means to say “It is hard to pray for daily bread when you own the bakery”?

2.What did the people learn when they gathered more than they need and it rotted and stank?  Have you had experiences when you have been able to share with someone who needed what you had more than you needed?  How do you think you can decide the difference between what you need and what you want?  If the USA uses more energy than any other country in the world, is that hoarding?

3. What did the people learn when they could not gather manna on the 7th day?  What is the best way for you to rest? When in the week do you relax to experience the wonder of friendship with others? With nature?  With God?  What do you think it means to say that worship is a “royal waste of time”?  Does our culture/society honor and value time for resting or does it see it as a waste of time?

4.  On page 9, find what God’s dream is.
