The Contented Childs Food Bible

He learned that the more money people had, the more they wanted. Solomon was also wise. He decided that instead of worrying about being rich, he would try to enjoy life and allow God to give him gladness of heart.

We can be glad in our hearts by being thankful for what we have instead of seeking more and more. We can also be happy in our hearts if we share what we have instead of keeping it just for ourselves. The basic things we need in order to live include love, food, shelter and clothing.

God says that if we have food and clothing, we should be content. Anything beyond that is a gift from God and we should be thankful! Add humour where you can. God provided manna for the Israelites when they were in the desert, but they got tired of eating the same food all the time and began to crave the foods they had eaten when they were slaves in Egypt.

They wanted fish, meat, cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions and garlic. They moaned and groaned and complained. God became angry with the Israelites because he had provided them with manna for food, and they were not thankful.

God told Moses to tell the people that He would give them meat — not just a little meat, but enough meat that it would come out of their noses. They would be given meat to eat for a whole month. So, God brought quail from the ocean. The quail was piled up on the ground as thick as a kitchen table is off the floor three feet. Then, God was angry with the Israelites for craving food other than the manna, which he had provided. He punished them by sending a plague, which killed many of them.

The Bible says that those who give things to others freely will get even more, while the ones who refuse to share will become poor. God is pleased when people show love through sharing what they have and He promises to reward their generosity. It is not good to pray, treating God like He is a vending machine who will give out things just to make us happy. When we ask God for things, we need ask with the right reasons. We can imagine that the people were very hungry, as they had not eaten for three days. They were so amazed at the miracles Jesus was doing — the lame walked, the mute talked and the blind could see after Jesus healed them — that they were not concerned about food.

Jesus was concerned for the people and wanted to feed them before He sent them back to their homes. The disciples could only find seven loves and a few small fish, but Jesus did another miracle and provided food for 4, people. After all of the people ate, there were still seven basketfuls of food left over. Jesus cares about the spiritual part of us and the needs of our physical bodies.

Kick-off craft Once you have selected your memory verse, try to complete the kick-off craft early in the course of your lesson, since the activity is a good way to introduce your chosen character attribute.

How can I reduce salt levels in my child's diet? How can I be sure my child is drinking enough fluid? Ford and Sacher give parents the low-down on matters of concern such as: Organic food GM food Food labelling and additives Commercial versus home-made baby foods There is advice for those whose children have to follow a special diet such as a vegetarian, vegan or weight-loss diet, and a section devoted to nutrition-related medical problems like colic, constipation, anaemia, obesity and food intolerance.

The approach and solutions suggested by Gina to solve those situation are practical and reasonable, and so are the strategies the authors offer to establish good food habits. The book lacks recipes and menus, though, which can be found in other of Gina's books as well as in other good publications. This could come as a surprise if you thought of buying one book that has it all as the title suggests. This is by far the worst baby food related book I have.
