Day 7: Jacob

Our oldest was enjoying the decoder pin so he made the message of J-A-C-O-B for tonight and put it in the countdown box. Earlier he made us an I LOVE YOU note so I'm not going to put the decoder pin away just yet....

Day 7: Jacob 
There are many stories in our book about the life of Jacob, so we summarized about his twin birth and the names of he and his slightly older brother, the eventual trading of his birthright for soup, Jacob's deceiving his father to receive the blessing, and his fleeing into the desert from his brother. During that time of hiding God appeared to him in a dream and promised to protect him if he returned to his father's land. Jacob then meets Rachel and Leah and has 12 sons who become the 12 tribes of Israel that God would bless and divide. It's on a staircase like this he witnessed angels going up and down to earth in his dream.

They got more parts for the second Lego vehicle in the pack. They crowded around my phone to look at the instructions. A smartphone and 2-day shipping really helped this part of Advent this year! While they figured this out, Donnie and I sang all the verses of "O Come All Ye Faithful" and practiced the 4 year olds song to sing on stage at Church tomorrow.


If you are following along with the Bible in Stories - pages 46-47, summarize through 63
If using the Bible or another Bible reader - summarize Genesis 25-30
"O Come, All Ye Faithful"
