We are now into Chapter 8 of WEAVER, VOL. 2
about the protection and peace of God.
Our memory work for this unit is all of Psalm 91. This scripture has been meaningful in my life for a long time now. I'm praying that it will be cemented into my children's minds now and forever.
So far we've learned~
"He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say to the Lord, my Refuge and my Fortress, My God in whom I trust!
For it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper and the deadly pestilence.
He will cover you with His pinions and under His wings you make seek refuge.
His faithfulness is a shield and a bulwark"
Praise GOD! He is our refuge!
We have been looking and learning about the different ways that God protected the children of Israel as He led them out of Egypt and provided for them in the wilderness. He provided for them physically, spiritually and emotionally. We've been talking about the ways that God gives us protection. He cared about and provided for the Israelites emotional health and He cares about our emotional health as well. The new praise song "He Knows My Name" has been going through my head since yesterday. I am so comforted by the fact that God really does know my name. He knows my every thought. He knows each tear that falls and hears me when I call.
We learned that our immune system was made by God to protect our physical bodies. We had fun watching the MOODY video- the Germinators! Very fun! Unfortunately, JR was sick with an ear infection during this time. I guess I could not ask for a better hands on illustration of the immune system.
The circulatory system is something else that God made for us. Vitamin K in the blood helps us in many ways not the least of which is, of course, helping the blood to clot. H wrote a speech about vitamin K.
Interestingly, we are also involved in a Lap Book about the Middle Ages. We are learning all about VIKING weaponry. The Vikings used swords to protect themsleves. We need to use our SWORD of the spirit to protect ourselves. I've been learning many other things.
I hope the kids are learning even more that I am!
Since C announced her upcoming marriage, my mind has been unsettled. I am praying that I too will have a greater sense of God's perfect peace in our lives.
I love that you are just a little ahead of us. That way I know what to look forward to, and can kind of begin the mental preparation. I am really bad about getting related DVD's so with your help, I should be able to get the Moody one you mentioned in plenty of time for our studies. We are just now beginning Chapter 6, learning about the plagues, etc. I'm really looking forward to getting into this chapter.

"How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and the strong. Because someday in life, you will have been all of these." George Washington
