Project 365 – #040 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.. ~Hebrews 11:1~ Red is the color of the blood Jesus gave To forgive our sins so we can be saved. Brown is the color on the cross in which He died. Orange is for joy when Jesus was alive. Green reminds us of the new life we have been given. Blue is the color of our home in heaven.

Have Fun with Synonyms!

Posted in Homeschooling, and Reviews

Synonyms, The word game that gets your mind racing! I love to be able to use educational games in our homeschooling – especially when those games don’t require us to be super serious.  Enter in Synonyms – the board game.  The first thing that struck me about this game was how beautiful it was.  Everything was nicely contained in its own compartment in the box (love that!).  The 400+ color-coded cards were laminated and sturdy so they are sure to last for many, many games (and years) to come. …my mommy brain truly needs to be exercised more!

What is Love?

Posted in Christian Life, and Photography

Project 365 – #038 So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love. ~I Corinthians 13:13~ What is love? Love is cuddling on the coach while watching a movie. Love is preparing a meal for your loved ones. Love is a back massage. Love is laughter while getting tucked in at bedtime. Love is little notes written on the mirror. Love is listening purposefully to a tale being told. Love is doing dishes and laundry. Love is a kiss and a hug goodbye and hello. Love is working on projects together. Love is…
