The Children's Bread BOOKS
The Children's Bread series is a biblically base curriculum and informative resource that has been written with expectations and faith that it's content would pierce the heart of children, teachers and all who interact with the books. (Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. Psalms 119:11). It saddens one's spirit to see children who have been attending church must of their youthful lives, leave the ways of GOD to dip and dab into worldly events (devil territory) once they've became responsible for making their own decisions. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
The Children's Bread monthly lessons (12) have been structured to teach in such a way that students won't become bored with learning about the Kingdom of GOD, but convinced that GOD and his Kingdom are real and worthy to be reverence. The lessons and activities are scripturally dominated, colorful, with information that will also increase their academic school lessons. Topics regarding history, holiday's, numerical data and everyday events are incorporated in the monthly lessons. It is with high hopes that children and all those who utilized The Children's Bread series will joyfully reverence and fear the Lord all the days of their lives.

First Truths: Jesus states (in the bible) that we should first seek the things of God, because He our Heavenly Father knows what we need, for it is He who created us, (mankind and all things).
Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? Or, What shall we drink? Or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these thing shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:31-33
And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The Kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! For behold, the kingdom of God is within you. Luke 17:20-21
Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and besides me there is no God. Isaiah 44:6
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all thngs are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation. To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 2 Corinthians 5:17-19
Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them. Isaiah 42:9

Love Truths: February, the second month of the year represents love all over the world on February 14th, Valentine's day. The bible as well demonstrates various moods of love within its chapters of truth. The word love is mentioned one hundred thirty-one (131) times in the old testament and one hundred seventy-nine (179) times in the new testament.
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angles, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge, and though I have faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I have my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil, Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity (Love) never faileth. 1 Corinthians 13:1-8
These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him. A proud look a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood. A heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord
among brethren. Proverbs 6:16-19

And I the Lord will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the Lord have spoken it. And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods. And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessings. Ezekiel 34:24-26
Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thing hand to do it. Say not unto thy neighbor, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee. Proverbs 3:27-28

And the Lord was with Jeoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David and sought not unto Baalim; But sought to the Lord God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.

If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD; Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance.

Psalms 68:4-6
Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And wither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
John 14:1-4

And he shall be unto thee a restorer of thy life, and a nourisherof thine old age; for thy daughter in law, which loveth thee, which is better to thee than seven sons, hath born him.

And the angel came in unto her and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of saluataion this should be. And, the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. Luke 1:26-31
