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.

There have been many people who have asked during our time in the military how they can help or support military families they know. Or a military family needs some support or encouragement especially during a deployment. There are many resources out there but a new one is near and dear to my heart.
A very close friend of mine and fellow Chaplain's wife has started a website for civilians and military folk alike. Please go check it out. It is called Operation We Are Here. Spend some time there as there is much to read. There are ideas of support and encouragement for civilians and good support resources for the military families as well.
This idea grew out of a very difficult deployment for my friend that wasn't even their first deployment as a military family. I personally like the name for it. It comes from Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who. So go and learn about those of us in "Who-ville." When you stop by be sure to sign Benita's guestbook, too.

Thank you for the post. I know several people in my homeschool group that would love to check this out.
In another topic, the Leighton print on the right bar on your page ... Leighton was a relative of mine! That's my maiden name, and he is the spitting image of my father. His favorite model was his niece, and in some of his paintings, she looks like me! It's just so surprising to see his work here in the States; the British, of course, knew him much better. Thanks for that unintentional boost to my day!

I just went and looked again, and it's not by the Leighton I was talking about. Our relative is Frederick Leighton, and he died 112 years ago.
My sister has a puzzle of the one on your page, and she assumed it was Frederick's too. So now we're on a search to find out if this guy is related too; I'm sure he is.
So, instead, I'll thank you for sending us on another adventure into our genealogy and the world of art!
