Have mercy on me, O God,

    according to your steadfast love;

according to your abundant mercy

    blot out my transgressions.

Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,

    and cleanse me from my sin!

  

Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;

    wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

Psalm 51: 1-2 and 7

Whenever there is a fresh snow fall I think of this Psalm.  David had sinned and taken another man's wife for his own, not only that but he had that man killed.  When David was confronted with his sin he turned to God and wrote this Psalm.  Our God is steadfast in His love and abundant in His mercy.  There is no sin that is too big for Him to forgive.  He and He alone can take away our sins and clean us so that we will be whiter than snow.

A look ahead:

For the most part we will be finishing up last week and then begin new work.

Memory: Luke 18:13

Spelling: TEST ON MONDAY for last week's words

            Test on Friday over Lesson 24
Science: Weather Unit

On Monday Invitations to Grandparent's Day will come home in the homework folder.  GRANDPARENT'S DAY is MARCH 8.  This day is for Grandparents or another special adult to spend the morning with us at school.  This is a half day of school.  In the invitation is a schedule of the mornings events.

Please fill out the permission form (also sent home Monday in homework folder) so that I know who is taking your child home from school on Friday, March 8, Grandparent's Day.

This past week's papers I will save and send home with next week's work in the Friday Folders.  I will ask the students for their church attendance and will mark it.

I wanted to share with you a short video the class made after studying the Bible Story, "Jesus Calms the Storm".

I hope you enjoyed your second 4 day weekend.  It will be tough to be in school for a whole week.

I hope that you are using your Lent Worship Centers and I pray that you are in church this weekend!

In HIM,
Amy
