The true abolition of slavery was achieved when the Thirteenth Amendment was ratified on December 6, 1865. The first section of the Amendment declares: “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.” The Amendment is unique in the Constitution because it bars every person from holding slaves or engaging in other forms of involuntary servitude, whereas most constitutional provisions only constrain or regulate the government. It is unique in another way as well: although the Constitution obliquely acknowledged and accommodated slavery in its original text, the Thirteenth Amendment was the first explicit mention of slavery in the Constitution. The most immediate impact of the Thirteenth Amendment was to end chattel slavery as it was practiced in the southern United States.

very year, the animals of the Great Forest come together for the Forest Games, a fun-filled day of friendly competitions—racing, jumping, climbing, and balancing events that celebrate each animal’s unique abilities. Milo the Moose has always loved watching the games, but this year, he wants to participate. There’s just one problem: Milo can’t run or jump like the others. His legs aren’t as strong, and he moves more slowly than his friends. Some animals worry that the games might be too difficult for him, but Milo is determined to find a way to compete in his own way. With the help of his inventive raccoon friend, Hazel, Milo modifies his walking cart with new wheels and a gentle push mechanism, allowing him to move more easily. As the games begin, Milo discovers that while he may not be the fastest, he has other strengths—he’s great at balancing, solving tricky obstacles, and encouraging others when they feel discouraged. During the final event, a team relay, one of the fastest competitors, Benny the Rabbit, trips and twists his ankle. The whole team is at risk of losing—until Milo steps in. Using his cart, he carries Benny across the finish line, proving that winning isn’t about being the fastest or the strongest—it’s about teamwork, kindness, and determination. At the end of the games, the animals cheer for Milo, not because he won the most events, but because he showed everyone that true strength comes from never giving up. Inspired by him, the animals decide that next year’s Forest Games will include new events that celebrate different kinds of abilities, ensuring that everyone has a chance to shine.

God made several promises to Abraham, often referred to as the Abrahamic Covenant. These promises are found in Genesis 12, 15, and 17. Here are the key promises: A Great Nation – God promised to make Abraham's descendants into a great nation. Genesis 12:2: “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.” The Land of Canaan – God promised Abraham and his descendants the land of Canaan. Genesis 13:15: “All the land that you see I will give to you and your offspring forever.” Blessing to All Nations – Through Abraham, all the families of the earth would be blessed (a prophecy about Jesus Christ). Genesis 12:3: “All peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” Countless Descendants – Abraham’s offspring would be as numerous as the stars. Genesis 15:5: “Look up at the sky and count the stars—if indeed you can count them. So shall your offspring be.” A Covenant Relationship – God promised to be the God of Abraham and his descendants forever. Genesis 17:7: “I will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants after you.” A Son (Isaac) in Old Age – Though Sarah was barren, God promised Abraham a son. Genesis 17:19: “Your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you will call him Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant.” These promises were fulfilled in different ways: Israel became a great nation. The land of Canaan was given to Israel. Jesus Christ, a descendant of Abraham, brought salvation to all nations.
