Today we will look at a man who took baby steps to trust, to see God do amazing things in his life and become known and the father of the faith.

Start with a spoon, lay it down on a sheet of paper and ask your child what kind of image they think it might become. (the bird from UP) You might have to doodle a bit to help others catch your vision.
Watch this video* for examples of a skilled artist helping you catch his “vision.”
*Parents, please preview before showing to your children. Some may want to begin after the second illustration.

Spend a few minutes checking out your own items. Encourage your kids with the observation that they often have no idea what will be revealed in the light. God is the Light, His Word sheds direction along our life’s journey. How can His Light lead us? How can we Trust and Obey?
