We kept our next three ornaments fairly simple. For the cradle ornament, we simply colored a picture of a cradle and hung it up. The significance of the cradle comes from Genesis 21, where Abraham and Sarah are given a son even in their old age. God had answered their prayers.
Our next ornament, the ram is from Genesis 22. God was checking to see if Abraham would obey Him by preparing to sacrifice Isaac. God saw Abraham's heart of obedience and sent a ram to be sacrificed instead. For the ram, we glued cotton balls and wiggly eyes onto a picture of a ram.
Eden's ram (the cotton balls were on the back side).
For December 5, our ornament was a ladder. In Genesis 28, God speaks to Jacob in a dream. Jacob is reminded of the promises for him and that God is always with him. We made a simple ladder out of popsicle sticks and then glued a rock to the bottom to symbolize Jacob's pillow.
Emmet coloring the cradle, but you can see the ladder beside him.
Next up: Joseph's coat!
