Dear Parent & Grandparents,
Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers and grandmothers! I hope your day is filled with joy and making memories. I was asked recently what I wanted for mothers day. Mother's Day for me is not a day at the spa or getting my nails done or getting flowers or receiving gifts. One of the greatest honors in my life is being a mother. I have simply asked that my children and grandchildren spend the day together, laughing and making memories.
To help your preschooler understand this week's story, provide a baby doll for your child to play with. Say: “This doll reminds me of your Bible story.” Open your Bible to Genesis 12 and use your own words to tell the Bible story.

A Baby for Abraham and Sarah Genesis 12:2-3; 17:1-8,15-17,19,21; 21:1-8
Bible Story Brief -
• Abram did what God told him to do. When Abram was 99 years old, God said to him, “Your name will no longer be Abram. Your new name will be Abraham because you will be the father of many nations.” This meant Abraham would have many, many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. People everywhere would know that Abraham’s grandchildren and great-grandchildren were part of his family.
• God made a promise to Abraham. God told Abraham that a year later his wife Sarah would have a son. Abraham laughed at the idea that Sarah would have a son when she was 90 and he was 100 years old! But he knew that God kept His promises. God said to name their son Isaac. The name Isaac means “laughter.”
• A year later, Sarah had a baby boy. Abraham and Sarah named their son Isaac as God had told them to do. God had kept His promise to Abraham.vAbraham had a party to celebrate.
• God did what He had promised to do.The baby, Isaac, made Abraham and Sarah very happy.
