This weeks memory verse: I is for…
“I made the earth and created man on it;
it was my hands that stretched out the heavens,
and I commanded all their host.” -Isaiah 45:12

I love how this verse verse goes right along with our Hymn of the Week, which was especially encouraging to our family this week considering our national situation. Pay special note to the last verse and as usual, please visit our “Hooray for Hymns” spot at the top of the page and add your own favorites to our list.

Hymn of the Week: “This is My Father’s World” (Babcock/Sheppard)

This is my Father’s world, and to my listening ears
All nature sings, and round me rings the music of the spheres.
This is my Father’s world: I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas –His hand the wonders wrought.

This is my Father’s world, O let me ne’er forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the ruler yet.
This is my Father’s world: Why should my heart be sad?
The Lord is King: let the heavens ring! God reigns: let earth be glad!
