Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.
~ Romans 8:1-2
What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
Romans 8:31
No, in all things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the the future, nor any powers, neither hieght nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
~ Romans 8:37-39
There is a bully who wants nothing more than to shake the confidence of those who are redeemed and made whole by the love and power of God. Because if he can shake the confidence of God's children, he renders them ineffective and powerless. But as long as God's children remember the size and power of the Friend Who stands with them as they stand up to the bully there is no reason to ever fear or back down.
Our science cards for this week included facts about dolphins and forest animals so today we watched videos about both and also read a book about how an oak tree provides shelter and food for forest animals.
We played a little basketball . . .
. . . played with the little people play set . . .
. . . got some exercise on the trampoline. . .
. . . and enjoyed good food.
It's been a good day.
