In the Beginning

During the summer holidays in 2019, we spent time with the children, talking about the beginning of the world, and doing some craft and music, the children did really well. It's important that we tell our children about how God created everything, they will hear such a lot of conflicting ideas as they are growing, and hopefully when they are adults will be able to discern the truth from the lies.




There was a before and after, before Adam and Eve sinned, with the trees and beautiful flowers and animals, not forgetting the snake!! to afterwards when they had to leave and there was all kinds of weed and thistles and the ground was hard, and it was hard work, so one of our little ones made sure Adam had a spade!



We sang a couple of action songs too, which they all enjoyed.

 (sing to the tune of the Farmer in the Dell)
 

God made the universe,God made the universe
He saw that it was good, Amen,God made the universe 

Then God created man, Then God created man
He made Adam in His likeness,Yes God created man

God made the woman Eve,God made the woman Eve
He took a rib from Adam's side,God made the woman Eve

God placed them in Eden, God placed them in Eden
He said all this is yours for good, God placed them in Eden

But please don't touch the tree, But please don't touch the tree
Just please don't eat that fruit you see, 

Oh, please don't touch that tree

A serpent slithered in, A serpent slithered in
He talked to Eve about the fruit,A serpent slithered in

Eve ate forbidden fruit, Eve ate forbidden fruit
She shared the fruit with her husband,They ate forbidden fruit

God was very sad,God was very sad

He told them they would have to leave, Oh, God was very sad.

And that's how things went wrong, 

And that's how things went wrong
Oh that is why life became so hard,

Yes, that's how things went wrong.
