Exodus 16; Numbers 11:79
After leaving Egypt, Moses and the Israelites had a long road ahead of
them. The people started complaining early in the journey. God heard
their grumbling and told Moses He would send food from heaven.
He also gave special instructions about taking only enough food for
each day. When the people woke up the ground was covered
in manna. God cares for the needs of His people.

If the people of Israel collected more manna than
they needed for their meal it would become full of
maggots and have a horrible smell.
Hamilton says,
On the sixth day of the week, the Israelites were
allowed to gather enough for two days because
the manna did not fall on the Sabbath.

WEEK 1
od has given parents the
privilege of being the primary
spiritual nurturers of their
childrens faith.
The HomeFront Weekly is designed to reinforce
that truth by allowing your family to have time
in Gods Word before your child attends
church each week. It will provide you with
ways to introduce The Big God Story and have
age-appropriate conversations with your little
one as you prepare her for what she will be
experiencing in church for the next four weeks.
Research has shown that children between the
ages of two and four learn best through repetition.
Because of this, TruBlessings will spend two
weeks on the same part of The Big God Story
and the Ponder Point.

Exodus [Link]
In an effort to gain control the king of Egypt enslaved Gods people.
The people cried out to God for rescue. He sent Moses to lead the people
out of Egypt. When the Israelites reached the Red Sea there was no
place to go. God is mighty. He sent a great wind to part the Red Sea.
When the sea parted, the people were able to
cross safely through on the dry seabed.
Each week you will receive a new Blessing.
A blessing is a prayer of commission, a portion
of Scripture, or words of encouragement and
guidance. While giving the blessing, you may
desire to lay hands on your child as you speak the
Scripture or pray a prayer over him.
