D is for…

This week’s memory verse: D is for…

“Do everything without complaining or arguing,
so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God
without fault in a crooked and depraved generation,
in which you shine like stars in the universe
as you hold out the Word of Life.”
-Philippians 2:14,15

Hymn of the Week: “God of the Earth” by Longfellow/Walton

God of the earth, the sky, the sea! Maker of all all above, below!
Creation lives and moves in Thee, Thy present life through all doth flow.

We give Thee thanks, Thy name we sing,
Almighty Father, heavenly King.

We feel Thy calm at evening’s hour, Thy grandeur in the march of night;
And, when Thy morning breaks in pow’r, We hear Thy word, “Let there be light.”

This week we learned about the sun and other giant stars like Betelgeuse which is twice the size of the Earth’s orbit around the sun. But the biggest star they’ve found is the Big Dog star. Canis Majoris is 7 quadrillion times bigger then earth. Last night Mom woke me up and we went out by the ocean where we could see millions of stars. Jupiter was shining very bright and we saw 4 of the giant stars around it. We saw Betelgeuse, Rigel, Sirius and Aldebaran. This video shows how big some of the stars are. by Titus

All of these stars make noises but we can’t hear them because sound doesn’t travel in space. But God can hear them. You can listen, too, on this video. by Joel

How cool that our hymn this week mentioned the song of the stars!
“Forever singing as they shine, ‘The hand that made us is divine!”
