lesson 2  

Hello! Its Rosalia again!  NOBODY tried to guess what the next lesson would be, so I recommend doing that.  this weeks lesson is about Cain and Abel.  This is the story after Adam and Eve.  

Adam and Eve gave birth to 2 sons, Cain and Abel. Cain was a farmer, and Abel was a sheepherder.  One day, when they where giving sacrifices to the LORD, Cain gave SOME of his fruits and veggies, and Abel gave firstborn of his flock.  GOD took Abels offering, but not Cain's.  Cain did not like this at ALL.  Cain asked his brother to go out to the field with him to talk. What did Cain do? Guess.  Cain. took his anger out on his brother. He killed Abel.  Later, God asked Cain where Abel was, even though he knew.  Cain said, I do not know.  Am I my brothers keeper?  Then the LORD said, What have you done?  The voice of your brothers blood is crying to me from the ground.  The punishment from the LORD was a curse on Cain.  Cain said, My punishment is greater then I can handle!  What if someone kills me?  Then the LORD said, Do not worry, if anyone kills you, he will  be punished sevenfold.  And the LORD put a mark on Cain so everyone would know that. 

Is that the end?!?! No!  next week we will continue the story, and in the questions section, before Saturday,  type in what YOU think next weeks story will be. If you guess correctly, the next lesson will say your name!         



I think our 'take-away' from this lesson is to give mercy.  Can you get a different 'take-away' from this lesson?  If you can, thats great!  Also, if you can think of one, type it in on the question section.  If I pick YOUR 'take-away', then YOUR name will be in the answers page!   See you next Saturday!   Rosalia                 

Read it in Genesis chapter 4!
