Genesis 4:1

Genesis 4:1

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

Eve recognised that the gift of new life came from God — even after the fall, she looked to the LORD as the source of blessing and hope.

Memory phrase: God gives the gift of new life.

Talk about it: Eve said her baby was a gift from God. What is something you are thankful God gave you?

Prayer: Thank You, God, for giving people to love and care for me.
