David and Goliath

We of course had to make the first story of David week be the one when he was just a boy.  The 3 of us read the story together and then talked about it.  We looked at a slingshot and I explained how it works.  Then I told them that David was able to hit Goliath in the exact right spot because he had practiced.  Being a shepherd had a lot of downtime, so he had time to sharpen his slingshot skills.  We all have skills that we can practice and maybe God will use them one day. (Thanks Rebecca for helping them relate to the story!)
