Discussion suggestions:
- This passage gives an opportunity to talk to young children using sensory perceptions (a tasty watermelon) about the goodness of God and the meaning of trust.
- Use your own judgment as to how to explain in simple words how God's presence is in all the good tasty things that he has created.
- We should always be thankful for the wonderful and tasty
things God has created for He is in all good things around us.
