Found my notes from the Mississippi Home Educators Assn. conference a few weeks ago. Here are some highlights....
Doug Phillips: 7 toxic threats
"Write down the top 15 conversations you want to have with your kids."
Top threats to homeschoolers
1- loss of vision
2- Fear of men
3- Love of "security" more than freedom
4- Hatred for accountability
5- Replacement of a Biblical community for a virtual community
6-Incivililty, gossip, juvenile behavior
7-Loss of our 1st love (Christ)
The wise woman's gude to blessing her husband's vision(Phillips)
"Our homes become places of encouragement and evangelism when we are virtuous wives."
How the imperfect wise woman responds to her husband
1- Seek to understand
2- Have compassion in his weakness
3- Reinforce husband's authority
4- Don't compare him to others
5- Encourages to pursue the Lord, but never rebukes him
6- She seeks to build his kingdom, his way.
7- She covers, not exposes his weaknesses (not immoral or illegal behavior)
As unto the bow the cord is;
So unto the man is woman;
Though she bends him, she obeys him;
Though she draws him, yet she follows;
Useless each without the other.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Healthy meals on a budget:
"If God made it, eat it. If man made it, leave it alone."
"Do not be intimidated by people who are at a different place in life than your family."
"If you are saying ' I couldn't get it all together' ( about planning/cooking), then you should reassess the way you are doing things." |
