David and Absalom

2 Samuel 14:25 describes Absalom as the most handsome man in the kingdom.

Here's a great video lesson on YouTube from Crossroad Kids Ministry about Absalom. In addition to being a lesson about "vanity," the story of Absalom teaches a lesson about FORGIVENESS. Even though Absalom rebelled (sinned) against David, David cries aloud, "O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! Would God I had died for thee, O Absalom, my son, my son!"  (To Christians this is considered a "prefiguring" of Christ's reason for sacrificing himself for sinners.)

The last few minutes demonstrates how to create your own "Absalom Hair and Beard" using yarn. Looks pretty easy and would make a fun lesson reminder.
