Love In the Home

I found this today at www.delightinginhisrichness.blogspot.com. It was very encouraging to me, so I thought I'd pass it on to encourage you too! Blessings!

I Corinthians 13 for Homeschool Moms

Though I teach my children how to multiply, divide, and diagram a sentence, but fail to show them LOVE, I have taught them nothing!

And though I take them on numerous field trips, to swim practice and flute lessons; and though I involve them in every church activity,

but fail to give them LOVE, I profit nothing!

And though I scrub my house relentlessly, run countless errands, and serve three nutritious meals every day but fail to be an example of LOVE, I have done nothing!

LOVE is patient with misspelled words and is kind to young interrupters.

LOVE does not envy the high SAT scores of other Homeschool families. LOVE does not claim to have better teaching methods than anyone else,

is not rude to the fourth telephone caller during a science lesson, does not seek perfectly behaved geniuses, does not turn into a drill sergeant, thinks no evil about friends’ educational choices!

LOVE bears all my children’s challenges, believes all my children are God’s precious gifts, hopes all my children establish permanent relationships with Christ, and endures all things to demonstrate God’s love!

LOVE never fails!

Where there are college degrees, they will fail;

where there is knowledge, it will vanish away.

For we know in part and we teach in part. But when the trials of life come to our children, the history, math, and science will be done away and faith, hope, and love will remain;

I'm sure God is speaking to each one of us with His unique rendition of this for our life and situation, but the underlying theme remains . . . more important than all of the homeschooling and housewife responsibilities is the living out of the love of Christ in our home and toward our children.

Obama's Abortion Extremism


The following was taken from: http://www.ladiesagainstfeminism.com/

Obama's Abortion Extremism
Abortion is an unavoidable moral issue. It also has broader political significance. Democrats of a past generation -- the generation of Hubert Humphrey and Martin Luther King Jr. -- spoke about building a beloved community that cared especially for the elderly, the weak, the disadvantaged and the young. The advance of pro-choice policies imported a different ideology into the Democratic Party -- the absolute triumph of individualism. The rights and choices of adults have become paramount, even at the expense of other, voiceless members of the community. [We haven't posted much of anything on the presidential race this time around, but this compelling article highlights more than a candidate's personal stand on abortion and asks excellent questions.]

Red Tide on Florida Shores


We arrived home safely! The boys enjoyed Florida. We went to Disney World for three days and stayed at the Shades of Green Resort. The boys enjoyed the rides and the pool.
The rest of the week was spent on Daytona Beach Shores. The weather was beautiful! The only bad thing is they had a "red tide" come in. I had never heard of this. The condo accountant said that this usually comes in on the gulf side.
The red tide can cause flu like symptoms for humans. So by the time we left on Saturday every member of my family except my oldest son was coughing and having trouble breathing. The 12 hour car ride home was less than fun! My youngest son, lost is breakfast an hour into the drive. Needless to say the van still doesn't smell the same.
Has anyone ever had any symptoms from a red tide? If so how long did they last?

Ready for Vacation!



We are leaving for Florida tomorrow! Our boys are so excited! We haven't been to FL for four years, so they have almost forgotten the beach.

See you in a week!

Blessings!

The Power of a Mother's Influence


"My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her."---George Washington
