Genesis 2:14

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

These rivers were real places — the Bible is not a fairy tale. God created a real world for real people.

Memory phrase: God planned every river.

Talk about it: Have you heard of the Euphrates river? Where is it?

Prayer: God, thank You that the Bible tells us real stories about Your real world.
