I heart camels

Last night we had our little family devotion time and read the story from Genesis about the servant going to look for a wife for Isaac. He was going to choose the girl who watered all of his camels.

So, Rebecca came along & it was obvious that she was "the one". She performed the task at her own will and won the servant's favor.

As we talked with the kids after the story, we asked them what they thought that said about Rebecca's character.

Acceptable answers: This proves that she is hospitable, kind, hard-working, serving, or a host of other desirable characteristics.

What answers did we get? Read on:
Maddy's Answer: "This shows that she loves animals."

Not quite. So, we rephrased the question again and threw in some clues. How hard is it to draw water from a well? Very hard. How many camels did he have? A lot (10 or 12, I believe.)

SO...once again we asked: What does this story prove about Rebecca's character?

John's Answer: "Oh! I get it. I know it now. This shows that she loves camels."
