Lesson 5. WINTER CLOTHING

Proverbs 27: 26

QUESTIONS:

1. Watch and discuss where did the storekeeper get the cloth?
2. Watch and discuss where did the weaver get the yarn?
3. Watch and discuss where did the farmer get the wool?
4. Who made the wool to grow?
5. Who then gives us our clothing?

Memory Prayer: 

"Father of all, in heaven above,

We thank Thee for Thy love;

Our homes, our food, and all we wear

Tell of Thy loving care."

 

Note to Parents.  Our activities today center around the topic of how God provides sheep to our people who grow thick wool for the farmer to harvest. This wool then is made into yarn and fabric that is made into clothing for us to wear and keep warm in. Find more references to this process and share them with your children. Take them to a local sewing shop and show them the bolts of fabric and yarn on the shelves. Talk about how these products come from sheep. The deeper lesson taught here has to do with understanding interdependence. This process begins with God's creation and ends with us.
