Frogs!

We are currently on Unit 5, Chapter 6 of our Weaver curriculum. At this point, we are in Exodus where Moses and Aaron go before Pharoah and announces to him that the Lord has said to "Let My people go!" Pharaoh does not comply and as we well know, the Lord begins to pronounce judgments upon the land. First the river Nile is turned to blood and now there are frogs everywhere! Imagine frogs in your cereal bowl! Then Moses cries out to the Lord concerning the frogs and the Lord hears his cries and causes the frogs to die. Ooohh yuck! What a stench that must've been. Even still, Pharaoh's heart is hardened and he does not relent to let the Israelites go because his magicians were able to duplicate what Moses and Aaron have done.



Immediately what comes to mind is this:

• God keeps His promises (like He did with Moses and Aaron when He promised to give them the ability to perform these miracles)


• God hears our prayers (like when Moses couldn't take the frogs anymore!)


• People can try to imitate and copy the true and living God, but as we'll find out, in the end they will prove to be false.

We have been reading about froggies this week and today I gave the girls an art lesson on how to draw a frog. They did pretty good considering that I was the one teaching them! Gracey's is first, Emily's second.
