Psalm 46:1

Here's Claire's lesson for this week, learned with great enthusiasm :)

Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength; an ever-present help in trouble.

This Week's Memory Work

This week we're going to learn two verses. Claire is getting bored with just one. So we'll do one for a couple of days and then add a second.

Here's the first:
Psalm 43:3 Send forth your light and your truth; let them guide me.

I'm not quite sure what the second one this week will be.

Memory Work

Matthew 28:20 Jesus said, "I am with you always to the end of the age."

This Week's Memory Work

I've started having Claire memorize Bible verses each week. Her Sunday School teachers sent home a sheet a couple of months ago with verses, but each one is learned for about a month, and Claire's able to memorize hers much more easily. So I'm adding others, including the ones Alair learns at school. So far, we've learned:

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life."

Matthew 28:6 "The angel said, "He is not here, for He has risen, as He said."

Job 19:25 "I know that my Redeemer lives."

Romans 10:13 "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."

Thoughts of the Day

1. Note to me: Getting moving and using energy actually seems to generate energy. I need to get out on the trail with the girls and Brinkley more often.
2. In the next election, I'm going to vote for the guy who learned his lessons in kindergarten about compromise and sharing. Obviously no one in Washington these days remember those lessons.
3. No matter how many years I live to see it, the spring thaw and the rapid return of grass and green will never fail to amaze and thrill me.
4. This is the reason we in Minnesota endure record levels of snow, ice, cold, and heating bills. Because God always sends us spring.
5. I hope to continue raising my daughters in such a way that they continue to ASK IF they CAN repeat their Bible verses, as Claire does every night.
