Day 8 – Man and Woman – Gods Special Plan

Memory Verse: Amazing how well our children do with learning God’s words when we spend time helping them to. If your children are pretty solid on having learned the first one, then do the other one listed on Day one. If they haven’t gotten it fully down, then don’t worry and keep at it! By the end of week two they should be ready for another one. My 2nd year old was able to do a verse every 2 weeks with a little help. Be patient and excited as they learn. Give them starter words and any help they need.

Genesis 2:7,15-25
Part of what makes man special is the extra detail that God gives when he creates man. God gives us the breath of life. This might be hard on a younger child to understand but the concept that God made man personally (versus say speaking us into existence like he did light) is pretty unique.

God also gave man a job and realized that he needed help doing it. He created woman for man. The two belong together forever. There is so much depth for how a wife and a husband become one and can never be separated (divorced). There is the fact that a man and a wife are supposed to be close (from Adam’s rib). For younger children I would focus on that God had a plan, and it involved Adam and Eve.

Don’t forget to look that God also told Adam what he could not do. The first rule is given. Of course what happens when rules are given? We will see that tomorrow.

Thank God as a family that your family has spent a week in His word together. Thank God that He has blessed you with your family. So many people in this world live in darkness without the Truth of God. So many people do not have any idea that there is a Lord who loves them and provided a way to be restored to Him. Prepare your child’s heart for tomorrow when we talk about sin and how it breaks that relationship with God.
