Lord, we pray today that your words will be burned into our hearts...that we will have a hunger and passion for the teachings you have set before us in the Holy Bible.  Write your words and your lessons on our hearts so that we can walk through this life with direction, righteousness and the confident assurance of You and your paths.  Light within us a Holy Spirit fire so that we will desire to learn more about you and all that we are to be because of you.  Thank you for my children, my husband, my home and the gift of homeschooling.  Let me always remember it is a priviledge and an honor and that I need to keep tied to your words also.  And help us to rejoice always in your precious words.   AMEN!
