"Therefore say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "None of My words will be delayed any longer. Whatever word I speak will be performed,"'" declares the Lord GOD. Ez 12:28

"And Jesus said to them, "Therefore every scribe who has become a disciple of the kingdom of heaven is like a head of a household, who brings out of his treasure things new and old." ~ Matthew 13:52 (NASB)
"Now in a large house there are not only gold and silver vessels, but also vessels of wood and of earthenware, and some to honor and some to dishonor. Therefore, if a man cleanses himself from these things, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, useful to the Master, prepared for every good work. Now flee from youthful lusts, and pursue righteousness, faith, love {and} peace, with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart." ~ 2 Tim 2:20-22
Homeschool Brings FAITH Back Into Education!
Homeschooling by Faith... is believing that God will provide what your children need to learn. Stepping out in Faith, asking Him for a schedule... asking Him what subjects to teach... asking Him what shall my kids learn today...
One of the coolest gifts you can give another is the Word of God! The best way to do that is make "Scripture Pictures."
They are VERY easy to make!
Equipment needed:
Computer w/ internet
Color Printer
1 sheet of Card Stock/Picture Paper
A graphic/picture from internet
Favorite Bible Verse
Find a picture on the internet that best describes the Bible Verse that you will be using. I think some of the most beautiful pictures can be found at the Hubble website.
How do I get the Scripture on the graphic?
I don't have expensive software or anything like that. What I use is Microsoft Word and that's it!
Steps:
Paste graphic/picture into Word. Double click on the picture and the "format picture" window will open. Click on the "layout" tab, and click on the 'behind text'. Then, click OK. The format window should be gone.
Open the Toolbar that offers the "text box" and click on it. Create a text box and place over the picture. Click on the text box, and right-mouse click on it. A "format text box" will open up. On the "layout" tab, click on "in front of text". Then, click on the "colors and lines" tab. Under the "fill" section, move the transparency bar to 100%; under the "line" section change the color to "no line." Click OK.
At this point, you should have a text box that you you can't see except for the invisible border of box. Click inside of text box and add Scripture. Change the font colors to compliment the picture and size font needed.
Your picture is now ready to print and insert into desired picture frame.
I will say for the best quality, I would recommend using Pro or Shop or another software program that is able to manipulate graphics and to produce the quality that you desire. But, this works if your little wants to give their dad or grandparents something for Christmas. Get the kids involved by allowing them to chose the picture to use.
I made examples smaller than normally would. Can you imagine these printed out to fit in a 8.5 x 11 picture frame, or even larger?

These spice ornaments are so aromatic! You can't help but think of Christmas time!!
Make a spice ornament in the shape of a present (or a treasure chest). Once it is dried and cooled, paint on the Scripture reference "Ephesians 5:1-2"
"Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children;and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma." Ephesians 5:1-2 (NASB)
Recipe for Spice Ornaments:
3/4 cup ground cinnamon
1 cup applesauce
2 tablespoons ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon ground cloves
1 straw
1/8 inch or 1/4 inch ribbon
Combine spices and applesauce and mix until well blended. Mixture should be stiff. Roll out to a 1/4 inch thickness on was paper. Using a small or medium size cookie cutter, cut the desired shapes. Peel away the excess dough and re-roll as necessary. Use the straw to poke a hole at the center top to weave the ribbon through for hanging. Let the ornaments dry uncovered for 2 to 3 days turning them over several times during the drying process.
Once the ornaments have dried and ribbons are tied on, then paint them. Place them in a sealed plastic bag until ready to use. (My ornaments we made last still are still smelling good this year!)
MAGNETS: Follow the above instructions, however do NOT poke a hole in the ornament. Instead, when it fully dries, apply stick-on magnet to the back.
These make perfect gifts for family and firends!!

EQUIPPING THE NEXT GENERATION
To reach the children of this generation with the true power of the living God to satisfy their natural hunger for the supernatural life before the enemy gives them a false satisfaction of being lovers of pleasure and not lovers of God.
"Tell your children about it, let your children tell their children." Joel 1:3.
