Children’s Everyday Bible-We read the story where God told Abraham to sacrifice Isaac to test his faith, then gave him a ram to sacrifice instead. I shared with the boys that Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice and we no longer have to make these kind of sacrificial gestures to God.

‘365 Manners…’. We learrned about Napkin etiquette: after the blessing, place napkin in lap where it is to stay through the meal. If you have greasy fingers, wipe them on the napkin in your lap. If you need to wipe your mouth, use the corner of the napkin and place it back on your lap. If you need to leave the table, place the napkin on the seat, not on the table.
We looked up different napkin folds online and tried our hand at them.
We also learned about 10 things you must never do at the table: (I am quizzing the boys as I type this. Let’s see how many they remember…)
