Pick a leaf off a plant and show it to your children. Ask…
““Pick a leaf off a plant and show it to your children. Ask them what it is and what it tells us. Draw them out for a short while. Hold the leaf in your fingers and say, “One little leaf is all we need to know that God is real. Paul tells us in the book of Romans that everyone can see God’s power and knows that he is real by looking at the things God made. Every plant leaf is made up of millions of cells that use sunlight and water to make sugar for the plant to use for food! This week you will learn about God’s marvelous creation.””
