The Heart of the Home
The Heart of the Home seeks to equip women as they study God's Word
and encourage them to treasure God with all of their heart
(Matt 6:19-21), and guard their heart (Prov. 4:23),
by recognizing that they are the heart of the home.

I am sure many of you know about Lamplighter books and even are part of their book club(s). But, if you are not, it is well worth checking them out.
I have recently joined one of their book clubs and have been receiving some of their Rare Collector Series books. They are simply incredible. Good quality books with quality stories that challenge not only DS, but me, too.
We have been reading Teddy's Button and it has made quite an impact on DS. With Daddy in the military, he often says he wants to be a soldier/warrior, too. He is somewhat disappointed that Daddy, as a Chaplain, doesn't carry a weapon, so he does make the distinction that he wants to be a warrior soldier/ Chaplain. Too cute.
Well the character, Teddy, also longs to be a soldier like his father until he learns and has to decide whether or not to join the Lord's Army. Once he makes the decision to join the Lord's Army, he learns that battles aren't fought with guns and swords and his enemy isn't who he thinks, either.
DS is tuned into this story like no other and it has reached him on a level no other book quite has. I encourage you to look into Lamplighter Publishing to discover timeless classic stories that will inspire your children and you, as well.

Thanks for the book recommendation!
It sounds like something my boys would really enjoy. Lamplighter does have great books, don't they? I even enjoy the look, feel and smell of them! It's nice to have a fiction book to read that isn't full of garbage. I'm reading Ishmael right now and have the sequel on my nightstand. I'm a bit behind with the book club...er, literary society! But I'll catch up...eventually.
Have a great Lord's Day!

GODSPEED by Edmund Blair Leighton (1900)
In medieval times, a knight wore the colors of his lady when competing in tournaments or going to battle. The knight would replace his coat of arms with the lady's colors. By offering a scarf or other small piece of clothing, it was one visible way a lady showed her devotion to her knight and also encouraged him. This went along with one of the knightly vows of protecting a lady and her interests, even unto death. This painting represents this medieval tradition.
I choose this as a representation of my blog for all the military wives who send their knight-husbands to work each day, send them to the field for training, or see their husbands deploy .
My blog will have some of my personal thoughts on our own journey of homeschooling or other insights or encouragements I have the leading to share.
My prayers are with each and every one of you who visit my blog.
