We have completed the confessions and verses from Barbara Arbo’s True Confessions for Children.  I encourage you to review these verses with your children while you are running errands, while you are sitting around the dinner table, or as you tuck them in bed at night.  Take thi

How do you encourage your child to deal with bad dreams or scary thoughts?  The verse this week is a great one for us to repeat when our minds are filled with fear, especially at nighttime. Confession: I am God’s beloved and my sleep is sweet. Proverbs 3:24, NIV When you lie dow

This week we are focusing on a promise that makes all our time and effort as parents seem worth it.  We must have faith that the things we are teaching are somehow being absorbed and will be retrieved by our children on their life’s journey.  It is also a reminder that homeschoo

One thing I love about homeschooling is seeing my children grow and mature – watching the change and the “ah-ha” moments!  We are raising the next generation of adults.  Let’s challenge our children to become mature and choose to put off childish ways when it i

Children need to be reminded that they are created for a purpose.  Take some time this week to hug them and hold them close.  Be reminded that they are a gift from God! Confession: I’m a blessing and a reward from the Lord, a gift from God to my mom and dad. Psalm 127:3, NIV Son
