Day 3: The Flood

Day 3: Today's story is Noah, the worldwide flood, God's salvation of Noah and his family, and God's promise not to destroy the earth by flood again. Our 7 year old said the was the 56th time he had heard this tale, so we quizzed him over dinner and then proceeded to #57. I can understand his point since his Bible reader and worksheet for today happened to also fall on Noah!

We are working through the first 8 main events of the Old Testament that my husband teaches as part of his college Bible class, summarized as: (4 events) Creation, Fall, Flood, Nations, and (4 people) Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph. The kids are asked to memorize this order and at the and of Advent they are asked as best as possible to put all of the ornaments in order. On Christmas day we review all of these events, asking them for details, and to place the ornaments in order. If you are doing this plan or something similar, I promise you will be surprised and blessed by how much they can remember!

There are two paper ornaments from our set about Noah and the felt one I made. For chocolates, they get a sweet pair of lambs to represent the animals on the Ark.
