God Had a Plan for Joseph in Jail

This week, we learned that God had a plan for Joseph, even while he was in jail.  The men who served Pharaoh told him about Joseph and how he could interpret dreams.  Pharaoh called for Joseph, told him his dream, and heard how God revealed to Joseph about the upcoming famine.  If Joseph hadn't been in jail, he wouldn't have met the men, wouldn't have told Pharaoh about the famine and many people would have died.  God has a plan for us, too.  Especially when we don't understand why things are happening like they are, we can know that God has a plan!

Be sure to watch Facebook for resources for parents all week long.  Sneak peek:  Monday's resource: this video that the preschoolers saw about God's plan for Joseph, and me! http://tinyurl.com/llxsvu5

See you next week!!

God's Plan May Be Hard

This Sunday, we continued the theme that God has a Plan For Me.  We looked at the time in Joseph's life when someone told lies about him, and he was put in jail.  Joseph could have gotten mad; it was hard being in jail.  But he remembered that God had a plan for him and he trusted God.  And God's plan was best!

Sometimes, God's plan for us may be hard, too.  We may have to share our toys, move to a new school or tell the truth when it's difficult.  But God has a plan for us, too.  And, just like with Joseph, God's plan is best! We can pray and ask God to help us go along with His plan.

To help us understand this point, we had a great time playing in a jail made out of crete paper and making a mini book of the story.

Come back next week to see if Joseph stays in jail!!

We Can Be a Big Fan of God's Plan

This week's lesson was about Joseph being sold by his brothers to the slave traders going to Egypt.  Even though Joseph must have been sad to be so far away from his home and family, he knew that God had a plan for him, so he made up his mind to always depend on God.  God used all the people in Joseph's family to help make His plan work out!  We can always trust God and his plan for us, even when it seems like it's not going well!  We can be a "big fan of God's plan"!
