Week 3- Janurary- Salvation

Good Morning Parents,

I hope everyone has enjoyed this past week. I really love the beauty of the snow. I have enjoyed being home a few extra days with the family- playing some games, watching movies, making snow cream, napping, and taking plenty of pictures of the girls out in the snow. I hope that it makes good memories for them.
I know some of you may be wondering about more verses on salvation...I did too when looking for 30 verses on this subject. But, I did learn that there is more to just being saved. Salvation is a gift that comes with blessings and protection. I remember a song we used to sing in church about God is our rock, a fortress and our salvation. I could see myself being set upon a huge rock then I could see myself being protected in a fortress that couldn't be penetrated. How awesome would be if we as parents could teach our children that we have safety and blessings in our salvation. I hope these verses give you hope in the future of your children as they grow up in their salvation.
