Genesis 29-30
Something to say
Jacob married Leah but he really wanted to marry Rachel. Leah just wasn't as pretty as Rachel. She wasn't as pretty and her husband didn't love her, poor Leah must have felt horrible! Look at memory verse, 'So God created human beings in his image'. Does that mean that Rachel, because she was prettier was made more in God's image than Leah was?
Something to show
Cover a very large mirror with a sheet. Tell the kids you have a picture under the sheet of a very very beautiful person. Possibly the most beautiful person on earth. Act it up and build suspense then ask if they'd like to see the picture. Take the sheet off the mirror and hold it up so all the children can see their reflection in it.
Go back to the memory verse. 'so God created human beings in his image'. God didn't create one human in his image, he created us all in his image. Everyone, even Leah, is precious to God.

Something to pray
Get the children to be still and ask God to show them what he sees when he looks at them. Remind the children that God only says good things! Pray, Thank you God for making us. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me see how much I am loved by you and how precious I am to you. Amen.
A verse to remember
So God created human beings in his image. Genesis 1:27
