122: KIDS VERSION – God Builds A Nation

Today we will learn the story of Abraham and how God blessed him beyond measure.  Listen with your children and reflect on the blessings that God has lavished on you!  This part of God's Big Story reminds us that God's dreams for us are bigger than we can imagine!

Want to keep talking?  Here are some ideas:

*Pretend to move with your preschooler.  Pack a backpack with favorite things and then play "Follow the Leader."  Talk about how Abraham followed God. (ages 2-4)

*Create a simple obstacle course using couch cushions, pillows and things around the home.  Blindfold your kids and guide them through the course using only verbal directions.  When done, ask: What's the hardest part about being blindfolded?  How does this activity remind us of Abraham? (ages 5-9)

*Ask: Why is it so hard to move or to adjust to new things? What does God do to help you feel better when things change? (ages 10-12)

One last thing!  This week, April asked you to tell about a time when you were scared and you needed to trust God.  Send in your kid's answer by texting a voice memo to 636-280-5433 and they could be featured in next week's episode!  *By sending in a voice memo, you’re providing consent for your minor’s voice to be on the podcast*
