The Bible story today comes from Matt. 2:13
Another Journey
After the wise men left, God sent an angel to Joseph in a dream. "Take Mary and the child and go to Egypt. King Herod wants to harm Jesus. Stay there until I tell you to come home." It was night but Joseph got up and took Mary and Jesus and headed for Egypt.
Matt. 2:19
Home at Last
The family stayed in Egypt until God told Joseph in another dream to take Mary and Joseph home. King Herod had died. He could never hurt them again. God had kept the family safe. They went home to live in Nazareth.
As a class we talked about how God keeps us safe. We discussed that God gives us parents to help us grow and learn just like Mary and Joseph provided for their son's growth and development. We learned that the gift of faith is a very important example of something parents instill in their children. We discussed what chores we could do at home. Picking up toys, dressing ourselves and taking care of pets were at the top of the list.
