More about these Bible coloring pages

Last Saturday afternoon, I sat at the kitchen table with my 9-year-old while she colored Joseph and his brothers. We talked about how Joseph said, 'You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good' (Genesis 50:20). This coloring page has six images that beautifully capture the story of forgiveness. I love how it shows Joseph's grace despite his brothers' wrongdoings. It really sparked a great conversation about kindness! With spring break coming up, these pages will be a fantastic way to keep my kids engaged while learning about the Bible. I plan to use them in our homeschool lessons, focusing on Joseph's story and how we can forgive others too.
