It is very hard to believe that it's July already. I hope you are enjoying your summer and getting to spend time with family and friends. Have a safe and happy 4th!
This week help your child learn to get along with others. Many children are capable of resolving disputes on their own. Be a facilitator. If your child gets into an argument with a friend, don’t be too quick to step in with a solution. Ask the children for ideas on how to resolve the dispute. Affirm their choices by using the Bible verse “Be kind and care for one another.”
This Sunday, July 7, 2013, Your preschooler will hear this story -
Abram and Lot Genesis 13:1-12,14-18
Bible Story Brief -
• Abram loved God very much. He took his wife, his helpers, his animals, and his nephew Lot to live in the desert. Lot took his family, helpers, and animals. They all lived in tents and moved from place to place.
• The animals needed a lot of grass to eat and water to drink. It was hard to find enough for all their animals. Lot’s helpers and Abram’s helpers began to quarrel. They did not want to share the grass and water.
• Abram said to Lot, “Our helpers should not argue. We are part of the same family. Let’s not quarrel with each other. Let’s divide the land. You choose the land you want. I will go the other direction.”
• Lot chose the land near the Jordan River for his family, his helpers, and animals. Abram took his family, his helpers, and his animals in the other direction to Canaan. Abram set up his tents there.
• God said to Abram, “Look in every direction—north, south, east, and west. All the land you see will belong to your family forever. Your family will be so big that you cannot count them. Go walk through the land I am giving you.” Abram moved his tents near some large trees. He thanked God for the land God gave him.
• Abram was glad that he and Lot had worked together as a family.
