Genesis 2:7

Genesis 2:7

Little Bible — for children and parents · Growth Figures · © Growth Figures. All rights reserved.

God made people in the most personal way — hands on, breathing His own breath into us. We are not accidents; we are lovingly handcrafted by God.

Memory phrase: God breathed life into us.

Talk about it: What does it mean that God 'breathed life' into Adam?

Prayer: God, You made me with Your own hands. Thank You for the gift of life.
