Jesus Time

we learned that Abraham and Sarah

LOVED GOD!

They did as GOD

asked and traveled to a new land

I used these wooden people

for Abraham and Sarah

and other little pieces to retell the story

We talked about some items that maybe

Abraham and Sarah packed

They had to carry EVERYTHING

they owned VERY far away

tent

maybe something soft to lay on

cloth for a blanket

maybe books

some food

Abraham followed GOD

and God made him some promises

God promised that all the land would

belong to him and his people

and that one day Abraham would have so

 many descendents..as many

descendents as stars in the sky!

then we listened to 

the LINE song.....
