Lot did what was best for Lot. 3, _,Gad ways are more important than how things physically look. 4, ~ Weneed to be careful who we get close to. Lesson introduction Before reading Genesis 13:2-18 with your child, sit down with them and have a small snack. On a plate, put a selection of biscuits, some whole and some broken. (alternately you can use some fruit, some that look perfect and others that look bruised.) Offer the plate to your child first and ask them to pick the best snack. Likely they will choose the whole or best-looking snack. It's now time to read Genesis 13:2-18 or to paraphrase it in a way your child understands. Point to discuss: * Reflect on why Abraham and Lot's men argued - They all wanted what wos kest for themselves. * Who had the first choice? Why did he choose that land? Because it looked best. Explain that while it looked 00d, it, was near bad people who did bad things. We will iscuss more on Sodom and Gomorrah in next week's lesson. * Talk about how some things that may look good but can cauise harm.
