God gives us a family

Our Kids in the Kingdom Week finished with a day devoted to how God gives us a family. We learned how Joseph regained his brothers and his father through forgiveness and how as children of God we are part of a big family. To share the love of the big family, the kids tied knots onto the edge of a blanket being sent to keep kids warm on cold African nights. And so we share the love of God with the larger family of God in a tangible way as we close out our Kids in the Kingdom Week.

God gives us forgiveness

Today in our Kids in the Kingdom Week we discovered how God gives us forgivness. Along the way, we learned how difficult it was for Joseph to forgive his brothers. We also made a Walk Like an Egyptian video embedded above at the blog and for those on Facebook, it is here: Walk like a kid in the kingdom

God gives us wisdom

Today in our Kids in the Kingdom Week, we have discovered through the story of Joseph found in Genesis how God gives us wisdom.

Joseph is now known in Egypt as Zaphenath-Paneah, but he still worships only the one true God and trusts in God to give him the wisdom he needs to prepare Egypt for the coming famine. He also prays for his family, Israel, his wives and children.

God gives us special abilities

We had a second great day with Kids in the Kingdom. Today we learned how God gives us special abilities. We discovered how Joseph's God-given ability to interpret dreams was used to save all of Egypt. We continue the story tomorrow.

God gives us hope

Our Kids in the Kingdom Week is off to a great start. Today we have learned how Joseph came to be first a slave and then a prisoner in Egypt, but that he never lost hope because of his faith in the one true God. Along the way, the kids made jewelry, tried on makeup, played games and sang songs.
