What We Learned:
Today, your child learned how God watches over us and protects us every day of our life. He cares for us in many ways, like providing shelter, a place we can call home. Your child also learned that when we love God and when we are willing to follow Him, we will not need to worry about what will happen next. God has a plan for us and He wants us to remember He will take good care of us. All we have to do is love and follow Him. (Scripture used: Psalm 5:11-12) |

Words to Remember:
(Bible versions used are selected to help young children learn and understand the meaning of scripture.)
"All you who fear the Lord, trust the Lord! He is your helper and your shield.”
Psalm 115:11 NLT
Practice this verse several times with your
child during the week. This will not only help your child to remember the verse, but also it will help to reinforce what he or she has learned during class. |

Suggested Parent/Child Activity:
Point out to your child that everyone's "home" is different. Some of their friends might live in an apartment, or a really nice big house, or maybe a small house. Remind them that God has given everyone someplace to live. You may want to share your background such as where you grew up and how different it was from today. Talk about how even then, God protected you. He gave you a place to stay, a bed to sleep in, and blankets to cover up with when it was cold. Things like that are easily forgotten, but if we keep them in our minds, we will be able to be more thankful for His protection. |

Daily Prayer:
Dear Lord, thank You for Your protection. I might not live in the nicest place, but God, You gave me this place to call home. You gave me this home so I can live my life for You. Help me remember to thank You every day for this blessing. Amen. |
