Can the bible be looked at like we would look at a Homeschooling Curriculum??

What if I told you that the bible is just like a Homeschool Curriculum?

• Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Philippians 4:8

What things are your children thinking on? Truth? Honest things? Just things?

Pure things? Lovely things? Things of Good Report? Virtuous things? Things of Praise??

BTW.. THINK ON THESE THINGS.. That is a command.. So are you and your children thinking on these things??

• Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. Colossians 3:2

Where are your affections? Are they based on things above?? Or things on the earth..

I won't lie.. Sometimes I get the joy of being able to say YES.. My affections are wholly set on Jesus Christ and his Kingdom.. But as a mom my affections are also on this world.. that I have to send my babies out on.. I have to keep a barometer out there on what's happening. And often times my ability to keep the balance is is just not where it needs to be.. So if your in that boat.. Your not alone..

• Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 1 John 2:15

Weigh that though here just a moment.. That is an EITHER OR STATEMENT.. Either he loves the world.. Or he loves the father.. One of these are true.. the other isn't.

• And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Ephesians 6:4

Don't be too harsh with children.. Not saying have no boundaries but you need to understand if your too harsh they will push back.. and become rebellious. 

• But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.1 Timothy 4:7

Notice here the bible tells us that it requires EXERCISE of the faith and discernment to the pursuit of Godliness.. So don't be disgusted or disappointed when you don't make it on the first try..

• O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: 1Timothy 6:20

Don't be swept away by things that aren't taught for your edification.. And please remember that the only reason science and the bible disagree is because there are men in both camps who are trying to make it so..

If they honestly used the findings of nature through scientific methods.. THERE WOULD BE NO Clashing..

It'd be a fine running machine..

MEMORIAL DAY! Do you Honor our Military men + women?

It breaks my heart to hear of so many people who really use the day as a party day.. 

Or just a day off from work!

Doesn't anyone think about what the day is really about anymore??

Memorial Day started as an event to honor Union soldiers, who had died during the American Civil War. It was inspired by the way people in the Southern states honored their dead. After World War I, it was extended to include all men and women, who died in any war or military action.

Memorial Day was originally known as Decoration Day. The current name for this day did not come into use until after World War II. Decoration Day and then Memorial Day used to be held on May 30, regardless of the day of the week, on which it fell. In 1968, the Uniform Holidays Bill was passed as part of a move to use federal holidays to create three-day weekends. This meant that that, from 1971, Memorial Day holiday has been officially observed on the last Monday in May. However, it took a longer period for all American states to recognize the new date.

Memorial Day is a federal holiday. All non-essential Government offices are closed, as are schools, businesses and other organizations. Most public transit systems do not run on their regular schedule. Many people see Memorial Day weekend as an opportunity to go on a short vacation or visit family or friends. This can cause some congestion on highways and at airports. Memorial Day has become less of an occasion of remembrance. Many people choose to hold picnics, sports events and family gatherings on this weekend. This day is traditionally seen as the start of the summer season for cultural events. For the fashion conscious, it is seen as acceptable to wear white clothing, particularly shoes from Memorial Day until Labor Day. However, fewer and fewer people follow this rule and many wear white clothing throughout the year.

Lets get this strait.. Especially Southerners should be using this holiday as it was intended Due to the fact that it was created based on the facts that SOUTHERNERS.. Were honoring their dead soldiers better than we northerners after the Civil War!

Also it is a FEDERAL HOLIDAY.. With the name of Memorial day to remind us what it is for. For REMEMBERING AND HONORING THOSE WHO DIED FOR US!

As a homeschooling mommy I would like to share with you some chances to educate your child.. About Memorial day!
