How it works
The Bible tells us about Abraham and Sarah. They lived in a tent with lots of sheep, and they wished for a baby.
God told Abraham to go to a new land, and Abraham trusted God and went.
One night Abraham looked up at the stars. There were too many to count!
A long time later a baby boy was born. They named him Isaac, which means laughter.
Worked examples
Tell it with your fingers
- Hold up one finger for the tent: Abraham and Sarah lived in a tent.
- Hold up two for the camels: they walked a long way.
- Hold up three for the stars: Abraham tried to count them.
- Hold up four for the baby: Isaac was born.
Count the stars
- Draw lots of dots on a page, or look at the night sky together.
- Point at one dot, then another.
- There are too many to count, just as Abraham found.
Wait like Abraham
- Plant a seed in a pot together.
- A seed takes a long time to grow, so we wait.
- Abraham and Sarah waited too, and God kept his promise.
