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.

My heart is a bit heavy today. A dear friend of mine sent a news link about the burning of the Namdaemun gate in Seoul. How often we passed this beautiful historical structure on our way to shop in the Namdaemun Market during our time in Korea. What a privilege we had to be able to see it and actually visit the site. I had not realized that it had only been opened to the public in 2005. That makes this even more poignant for me.
I included some links above so you could see it before the fire and also to see and 'experience' the Market by photos, too. But to see the gate in all its beauty and to see the true devastion of the fire, go here.
My heart is heavy for my Korean friends. What a loss for their country.

Arson?! Why would anyone destroy something like that?!!!
What a great loss-- especially since I haven't been able to see it in person yet! :-(

There are many things that happen in today's world that make me sad. This is just another example. What a waste!
God bless,
Ronda

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.
