Second graders worked on a project/craft at school today. We read our way through the Bible looking at verses that talked about how precious each of them is to God. Each of them (and us) are so loved by our heavenly father and they have been made in his image, which means none of them, or us are a mistake, and we have been chosen by him and called by name to be a part of his family.  What an amazing love we can see through the stories and verses in the Bible that tell us about it every time we read it. So much love that God sent his only son to the cross to die for us. How can we not have joy and praise God all our days!
