Manna and Quail

Use this word search after you teach Manna and Quail (Exodus 16).

The story: In the wilderness the children of Israel murmured (grumbled) that they would die "with hunger," and the LORD said, "I will rain bread from heaven for you." At even the quails came up and covered the camp, and in the morning there lay on the ground "a small round thing," which they called Manna; they gathered it every morning, and twice as much on the sixth day, for the seventh day was the sabbath. God gave each one just what he needed: "he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack."

Talk about it: Big idea: God provides, Contentment, Trust. Which word from the puzzle reminds you most of the story?
