Our God has chosen you.

2 Thessalonians 1:11 (NIrV)

Reading and Learning

"It is written in the Scriptures, 'We are His workmanship . . .' "

"But in the original Greek it says we are His poiema, which means that which is made, something fashioned, crafted together, someone's workmanship, as in a masterpiece."

"From poiema comes the word poem."

"You see, you can either live trying to make your life your own work, or you can let your life become His workmanship. A poem can't write itself or lead itself. It must be written and led by its author. It must flow from its author's heart. So to become the Poem of God, you must let your life emanate from the Author of your life. You must let if flow out of the heart of God. You must follow His will above your own, and His plan above your own. You must let His Spirit move you and His love become the impulse of all you do. Then your life will flow as it was meant to flow, with rhyme and beauty, and you'll become His masterwork . . . the Poem of God."

Day 74

To finish up our Brown Bear, Brown Bear theme the preschoolers colored these little books based on the story. The baby went with his own theme and looked at fish. 🐟

Outdoor Fun

Our morning outside was pretty typical - they played some kind of ball game they made up, laughed at the puppies, watched the chickens, and rode around in cars and dump trucks.

But this afternoon Michael got a surprise when he went to fetch a wayward ball - and came running back a lot faster than he went. He's not really that afraid of snakes but when shows up unexpectedly it does it is a bit startling. We watched it for awhile before we left it do whatever it is that snakes do when no one is looking.

Quote of the Day

Realize that you are God's masterpiece, created to do things that you can't even yet imagine.
