  • SAY: “What an amazing story we learned today about trusting God's plans, even when they are hard. Joseph trusted God's plan when they were hard. Let's make a game to help us remember Joseph's journey. This is Joseph. You can move him as he goes on each part of his journey. On our paper is a map of Egypt. It shows the different parts of Joseph's journey. Let's start by going to Joseph's family house with his dad. (Point to the image.) Great! Next, here's Joseph's older brothers! (Point to the image.) They're working in the field. (Pause.) His older brothers were mad and jealous that their dad had given Joseph such a nice coat. So they threw him in a hole. (Point to the image.) Then his brothers sent him far, far away. (Point to the image.) They sent him far away, and he worked for a man named Potiphar. This is Potiphar's house. When Joseph worked for Potiphar, he worked hard and did a good job. But someone said he did something bad that he didn't do and was put in jail. (Point to the image.) Fid the jail. There's one more picture. It's Pharaoh's palace. (Point to the image.) Find the palace. We'll hear more about that part of Joseph's journey next week. God has plans for each of us. We learned today that Joseph's journey was not always an easy one, but Joesph continued to trust God and follow God's plans for him. Remember that just liek Joseph, even when it is hard, God loves you and has plans for you. Who has plans for you? [Bottom Line] God has plans for me."
