Choose a Challenge!Your child chose the marked challenge for the week. Help your child remember to follow through and live out his or her faith.
CHALLENGE 1Thank God for making everything by telling a friend about how God made everything.
CHALLENGE 2Gather cool things God created, and keep them in a special box. As you put each object in the box, thank God for making that object.

The Inside TruthYour child learned that Job had many questions for God. Job wasn’t sure that God was powerful enough to help him during a really hard time. God reminded Job about all the wonderful things God has done. God is so amazing that he created everything from absolutely nothing! We can thank him for making everything!
Do You Remember?Talk about these questions with your child:
• What’s one thing God mentioned to Job abouthis creation?
• What things are you thankful for in God’s creation?
