Day 2: I Am God's Child
"But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. They are reborn—not with a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a birth that comes from God." John 1:12,13 (also see 1 John 3:1-3, Gal 3:26, Rom 8:14,16,19)
This chapter was about God as your heavenly father and how we are related by blood and nothing can take that away; but if you aren't obedient, you won't live in harmony with God. I kept thinking of the preschoolers at church. Parents who love their kids so much and nothing can change that, but they have to discipline their kids when they learn how to say no or hit their friend. I just love parents who really love their kids and do everything in their power to raise them as awesome Christ following little people. It's a little, imperfect but great glimpse of what our relationship with God is like as his child.

Yup, you learn a lot about God by being a parent...it's the toughest job you'll ever love :)
BTW, Summer voted for patriotic, and since we can't do that lesson very often, that's the plan...so be ready for some "let my people go!" tomorrow!
