LEAD Family Devotional: Here's a fun rainy day activity perfect for the weather we're having here at New Beginnings! The lesson comes from 1Kings 18:41-46 when Elijah prays for rain, not once but seven times! When I teach this in the classroom I remind my students that Elijah knew what to pray because he found it in God's word, and so he also knew that God would answer. We can persevere in prayer when we're praying God's will, and we can know we're praying God's will when we're praying his word!
The kids could not get enough of this activity- I did modify it a little because I don't trust myself to be poking holes into bottle caps. So I replaced that with clear condiment bottles that I bought at our local dollar store. If you decide to do this activity at home please don't forget to post a picture- and keep persevering in prayer!

This New Rain Cloud in a Jar Experiment is super fun. It is a great way to teach kids about rain, liquid densities, and the water cycle.
