Be Careful Who You Listen to Family Plus Preschool

HI Parents and Grandparents of Preschoolers!

Just about every time I am with your preschooler we talk about making good choices. I will ask them questions like... "If your mom or daddy ask you to pick up your toys and you don't, is that making a good choice?" or "When mom or daddy tells you it is time for bed and you come up with all kinds of excuses of why you shouldn't, is that a good choice?" They know what good choices are. We even go a little further and discuss why or why not we should make good or right choices. I think it's a good idea to remind them, especially when they do make the right choice. This week remind your child that God made them and they are able to make choices. Help your preschooler think about and name right choices and wrong choices. Point out that God wants us to make right choices.


This week, Sunday, February 23, 2014, your child will hear this story:
Adam and Eve Based on Genesis 2:15–3:24
God made a man and a woman. The man was named Adam, and the woman was named Eve. Adam and Eve lived in a beautiful garden. God told the man and woman to take care of the garden. God said, “You may eat any of the fruit of this garden except from this one tree in the middle of the garden. Do not eat from this tree. It is a wrong choice.”  
One day Eve was in the middle of the garden. Eve chose to eat the fruit from the tree in the middle of the garden. Then she offered some to Adam. He also ate the fruit. Adam and Eve disobeyed God. Disobeying God is sin.
God was unhappy when He learned that Adam and Eve disobeyed Him. He made Adam and Eve leave the beautiful garden. God told them, “You will have to work hard to make food grow from the ground so you can eat.” Adam and Eve had to leave the garden because they made the wrong choice and disobeyed God.


Christ Focus: Jesus wants us to do what is right.
Life Point: God wants us to obey Him.
Life Verse: I will do what God says. Psalm 119:34

Questions:
What wrong choice did Adam and Eve make?
What did God do when they disobeyed Him?
