Read Nehemiah 6:15-16 with your kids.
Ask them, “Rebuilding the wall was a gigantic task. How many days did it take them? Yep, 52. That’s less than two months to . . .rebuild a wall that wrapped around an entire city…restore 8 different gates…provide protection from enemies!”

“We can do that too! When we finish something, we can stop and thank God! Let’s pray a prayer of thanksgiving today by filling in the blanks below.”
