Everyday words
Pleasure
Start with Genesis 18:12, where the Bible uses the word pleasure in a real sentence: “Sarah laughed within herself, saying, “After I have grown old will I have pleasure, my lord being old also?”” The rest of this list stays on that same word so a family can hear it more than once.
