John 4:37

Little Bible — for children and parents · Growth Figures · © Growth Figures. All rights reserved.

No single person does it all. God's work flows through many hands across many generations. We build on what others have done and others will build on what we do.

Memory phrase: We all play a part in God's big story.

Talk about it: Have you ever benefited from something someone else worked hard to build? How does that make you feel about doing good work for those who come after you?

Prayer: God, help me to do my part faithfully — knowing others did theirs before me, and others will do theirs after me.
