God’s Special Day: The Sabbath Truth for Kids 🌟

Discover why the Sabbath is like a weekly gift from God!

1. The Sabbath Story: Resting with God 🌍

Once upon a time, God made the whole world in six days—stars, oceans, puppies, YOU! On Day 7, He rested and said, “This day is special! Let’s celebrate together forever!” (Genesis 2:2–3). That’s the first Sabbath!

Fun Fact: God didn’t rest because He was tired. He wanted to spend time with YOU!
