In the Old Testament, the Israelites sought to incline their hearts to the Lord, to walk "in all His ways" and to keep all of His commandments. No matter where we find ourselves in this life journey, Jesus Christ has shown us the path that will lead us safely through the spiritual dangers surrounding us.
Children will learn that when we follow the covenant path, Jesus Christ will lead us safely back to our Heavenly Father!

Print several copies of the “paw prints” printout and cut out the paw prints individually. Print one
copy of the fox for each child and hide it in another room. Use the individual paw prints to make a
pathway leading to the foxes. The longer the pathway, the more the children will enjoy the exercise.
