Everyday words
Granted
Start with Genesis 19:21, where the Bible uses the word granted in a real sentence: “He said to him, “Behold, I have granted your request concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow…” The rest of this list stays on that same word so a family can hear it more than once.
