WHAT IS LOVE...

In lieu of the upcoming Valentine's Day, I wanted to share.

 Let's be reminded... some of us need reminding of what love really is.  
💔💛💙💚  LOVE... 💜💗💋👄
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
Reading about love this morning. I honestly believe love is not a necessity but a necessary component for humanistic fulfillment.
Love is NOT... I'll scratch your back, you scratch mine. Love is ... I'll scratch your back because I know you like it, I know you need it, I know you want it, I know it's comforting... and I love doing this for you because it fills a physical/psychological need for YOU. I'm not expecting it back in return, but getting something back in doing it. I'm rejoicing inside because I can selflessly fulfill a need for you, that you cannot fulfill yourself... I love you. I am affectionately showing you LOVE.

Example statements:
"I don't have a lot of money... I see you are in need. I will pay the rest of your bill."

"My coat isn't thick... yet you have none. Wear mine."

"I see you are angry... here's my other cheek."

Truth Statement:
Although you have persecuted, beaten and spit on Him... He died for you.🌼🌸🌻

Growing Future Outdoor Sportsmen and Sportswomen

What a weekend!  First we got snow, then we had the opportunity to go to our local Wildlife Management Area to look for sheds, rubs, tracks, scat, skeletal remains... or anything else we could find out there in the woods.  My husband and I enjoy getting the kids outdoors so they can experience nature first hand.  Our initial intent was to look for sheds.  Although we didn't find any sheds, we enjoyed what we did find, and the time we spent together, as a family.   Just as we entered the woods, I told my children to watch for dogs.  People are constantly dropping dogs off in these woods.  They toss pups they've killed, and often times dump them in nearby streams and watersheds.  I've even discovered whole litters of starving pups with an empty bag of torn open dog feed that had been left with them.  It's really sad.  It's also dangerous to people entering the WMA because the dogs are starving, wild, and afraid. Dog remains... dog still had collar on when i

About Getting the Children Outdoors

With the encouragement of several followers, I had my sites set on creating an outdoor curriculum which could be taught in the classroom, public or homeschooled.  Not being one who likes to reinvent the wheel, I began to do some research and came across Acorn Naturalists   which provides educational books and tools for trail, as well as the classroom. After ordering their catalog, I realized the extent of their product line was way more than I could create on my own.   Acorn Naturalists has activities, teaching tools, and kits that cover a variety of natural and outdoor activities and lessons for all ages; particularly preschool through middle grades. For those outdoor enthusiast, I implore you take an interest in involving young children in your business or hobby.  I had written an earlier post in my blog called Changing the Looks of Things about inviting people into what you do to give them a better perception.  I'm not a writer.  Sometimes I even wonder if folks actua

A Home School Review! Time4Learning

I've been homeschooling my children for five years, all three of them.  I also school/tutor another child not my own.  We keep a pretty hectic pace at my home, and we try to stay at the forefront of education.  I try to stay on top of the best educational materials, and get the most for my money.  Regardless of what I do, what works for one child, doesn't necessarily work for the others.  In my five years of homeschooling, regardless of the programs, tools or curricula I use, I've found every child has their own learning style, and just because a particular curricula works for my family, doesn't necessarily mean it will work for another. My oldest child, a female, is self directed.  I've never had a problem getting her to start or complete a task. The boys, and my youngest child are far less motivated.  I have tried every curriculum in the book to keep them engaged, literally; Abeka, Christian Liberty Press, AOP, Bob Jones to name a few.  Although I love these oth
