This verse
was our CC memory work for science last week. (Which was a welcome relief from the periodic table. *shudder*)
Every day we
would take a moment to go outside just to marvel at the handiwork of God. We
would discuss how God's glory was being declared by what we were seeing in the
sky. God's glory.
I love how Lil'
Man's tutor explained it to the kids, "The glory of God is His goodness and
greatness".
Although we
enjoyed some pretty awesome night skies and there were some really great scenes
in the sky during the afternoon, the sunsets were definitely our favorite.
All the beautiful colors of His artistic hand. Simply breathtaking.
Lil' Man
definitely is an appreciator of the arts. He loves to draw, paint and color. He
also loves learning about different artists and their styles of painting. I was
surprised at how much he paid attention during the art portion of CC. He
thoroughly enjoyed learning about a specific artist each week.
I felt like
the connection to convey the verse we were discussing for the week with what he
understood and enjoys was perfect. One day, I commented on how the sky
looked like a beautiful painting. He looked up at it for awhile and then turned
to me and said that, "It is like Claude Monet, but better, because it is
God".
God's glory
is declared all around us. Be purposeful to pause and observe the declaration
of His goodness and greatness. Last week, all we had to do was look up at
the sky to be reminded.
