Bible Text: Genesis 37-45
Forgiving is a difficult concept for preschoolers. They are still self oriented and are just beginning to stretch their boundaries to include interaction with others. However, they are always so quick to "forget" arguments and to be "friends" again. This morning, we talked about how Joseph forgave his brothers even though they had been so disrespectful and cruel towards him. We played a game similar to hot potato, but instead of passing around a potato, we passed around a picture of Joseph. If the music stopped and we were still holding Joseph, we would have to say, "God forgives me." Then, we made money bags like the ones Joseph's brothers carried when they went to Egypt to purchase food.
Parents, talk with your child about the importance of saying, "I forgive you," when someone says, "I'm sorry."
