Make copies of the coloring page, one per child plus extras.

Give each child a coloring page, plus crayons, markers, or colored pencils. Have them put their names on it and color while you lead the discussion below:

  1. What was Rebekah’s brother’s name? Laban.
  2. How long did Rebekah’s family ask Eliezer to let her stay before leaving? Ten days.
  3. Why do you think Eliezer waited to eat until after he had told the family why he came?
  4. Imagine being Rebekah; how do you think it would feel to leave your family to travel to marry someone you had never met?

Conclusion: Abraham is an example of someone who tried to stay on God’s path and because of that, experienced a long and prosperous life. After Abraham’s death, Isaac continued to receive the covenant blessings promised by God to Abraham’s descendants.
