Becoming a Heaven on Earth


Home can be a heav'n on earth when we are filled with love

Bringing happiness and joy, rich blessings from above-

Warmth and kindness, charity, safety and security-

Making home a part of heaven, where we want to be.


Drawing fam'ly near each week, we'll keep love burning bright.

Serving Him with cheerful hearts, we'll grow in truth and light.

Parents teach and lead the way, children honor and obey,

Reaching for our home in heaven, where we want to stay.


Praying daily in our home, we'll feel His love divine;

Searching scriptures faithfully, we'll nourish heart and mind.

Singing hymns of thanks, we'll say, "Father, help us find the way

Leading to our home in heaven, where we long to stay."


~ LDS Hymn #298

I've Not Gone Anywhere

My thoughts at 09:55 AM, July 4, 2008

Homeschooling Daze

I had family over, and I also have had some heavy research going on.  I'm deep in the throws of planning my map for next year - and I'm also researching the correlation between health and spiritual/emotional matters, and I'm so excited about both!  So I've got some great blog entries coming up!  :)  If you want to read more about the health issues, I posted it HERE on my Making My Own Colors blog.   I hope it's beneficial to all - I know it's a tremendous help to me!


One of the things I can tell you about next yr is that you're supposed to have a "theme" song to start every day with to help connect them to what they are learning.  This was a no brainer for me.  We'll be singing " Latter Day Prophets " - you can click on the link to hear it.  Although I hear someone has added another verse to include Pres. Monson - I'll have to find that.  There are sooo many things to learn with this theme, it's almost mind boggling - we're going to have a rich year!

Latterday prophets new verse

The new verse is in either the June or July Friend.
