This month we have been learning All About Me. How fitting that our science book this week {from Abeka} is discussing "Discovering Myself." Within this unit, our children are learning about who they are in Christ. We all are individuals. We all are different. Out of millions of boys and girls in this world, not one of us is the exact same. God made us this way....a wonderful way. He gave each of us talents and gifts to use for Him. Not only did He create us, He cares for us and is concerned for us. He is concerned when we are sick. He is concerned about us when we are sad or happy. He is concerned about us when we obey Him and when we disobey Him.
Within this study we examined our hands. Our hands have bones that help us to do things. Our hands have muscles and blood that help us to do things. God intelligently formed our bodies so that we could actively serve him and others. Sometimes we need to ask God to help our hands do the correct thing. Not only our hands, but our feet, our eyes, our ears. All these parts of our body were created by God, for God. The world offers so many temptations and distractions that we can choose to do with our bodies that will not glorify God. How important it is for us to teach our children early on that our bodies are not our own. They were bought and are owned by our God who fearfully and wonderfully made us!
