SPIRITUAL ADOPTION PROGRAM Week 39

[Psalms 138:14 I praise you, so wonderfully you made me; wonderful are your works! My very self you knew;] My heavenly Father, thank you for making me so wonderfully! My body is busy storing fat that will help regulate my temperature after I am born. I am also producing special brown fat cells that will play a role generating heat to keep me warm during my first couple of weeks. My lungs are ready for my first breath of fresh air. My brain is developing rapidly and will continue this rapid development until I am about three years old. I can’t wait to use my brain to learning all about God and His Commandments! [Psalms 119:73 Your hands made me and fashioned me; give me insight to learn your commands.] I am so thankful for your continued prayers! I hope you all will come to my baby shower luncheon next Sunday October 20th at 12 Noon in Memorial Hall!

The following is a letter received from Sandy Hook Elementary School thanking our Religious Education Students for the “snowflakes” they had made for them in the winter.

To the Religious Education Students of Holy Family:

Thank you for your heartfelt, generous,

and thoughtful contribution to Snowflakes for Sandy Hook. Because of your efforts and many others, we received snowflakes of all shapes,

sizes and forms from schools, PTAs, community centers, and families across the country

and around the world. Sandy Hook students, staff and families have been the

recipient of a blizzard of love and support in the form of snowflakes, and we

could not be more thankful! Our community has taken great comfort in the

Global outpouring of support from wonderful people like you.

We will always treasure our blizzard of love.

Thank you for your kindness,
