Genesis 2:9

Genesis 2:9

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

God filled Eden with good things — beauty and food. But He also placed two special trees that would carry great meaning for Adam and Eve's choice.

Memory phrase: God made trees beautiful and good.

Talk about it: Why do you think God put a tree that was 'not to eat from' in the garden?

Prayer: God, thank You for making beautiful things for us to enjoy.
