Teach Them Diligently

Posted in Christian Life, Family, Homeschooling, and Photography

 Project 365 – #235 You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. ~Deuteronomy 6:5-7~ Project 365 – #236 It is often said that kids should come with parenting handbooks, but, in some ways, isn’t that just what the Bible…

Nurturing a Gift

Posted in Homeschooling, and Photography

Project 365 – #228 One of the benefits of homeschooling is the opportunity to nurture gifts, talents, and passions in our kids.  Munchkin thoroughly enjoys drawing and animals.  As time passes, she’s started to narrow down her interest in animals to a passion about horses.  Today, she drew this picture of a horse, Man ‘O War, from the Black Stallion book series.  This is her vision of what he would have looked like.  I love watching her grow in her drawing skills.  She does not get these skills from me.  They definitely come from Daddy and his side of the…
