Blessings on you from the Elliott family! Thank you for subscribing, and we hope you enjoy today’s newsletter. Good morning! Defining good and evil is a constant battle in our world. Evil hides in the sneakiest of places, including my own heart, and it's a daily challenge to call good good and evil evil. I suspect this is
what it means to renew our minds. My goal is to bring a little bit of Scripture, a sprinkle of encouragement, and a dash of hope to your day. I love a good cup of coffee (brewed like this), but if some other drink is more your style, I'm sure that will work. The point is for you to take a break from crazy living, just long enough for a sip of joy.
Daily Bible Verse"Woe to those who call evil good, and good, evil."
(Isaiah
5:20)
Hoy—an exclamation of surprise or pain; a sigh out of lamentation; often pronounced oy! Source
You know, I think one of the toughest things about being a wife and mom is trying to actually do what I know I should. For instance, I have studied much about nutrition so that I can feed my family properly. I care about having healthy kids and a healthy husband.

Once someone begins studying the commandments of God, such as the Sabbath commandment, to keep them, it soon becomes apparent that these commands are addressed to the children of Israel as
perpetual commandments. Someone said to me, “Well, that leaves me out, because I am not a descendant of Israel!” (The relief in their voice being apparent, that they do not have to think about keeping them!) Be very careful before you proclaim yourself not a seed. Read More
How long do you have until your children are old enough to go to school? Are they ready? You probably already realize that you have an enormous task ahead of you. Whether a child is homeschooled or attends traditional school, he has a long list of skills he must learn if he’ll be prepared for formal education. So what should we teach
our children before they turn five? Learn More |
Poor Eli. He was a victim of grace-based parenting. Maybe it was because he was a priest of YHVH, serving
daily in the Tabernacle. Maybe when he would place his hand on the head of an animal to be sacrificed, the sins of his childhood would flash before his eyes. His heart was heavy over the ways he failed YHVH, and he was truly sorry for the things he had done. So when his little boys, Hophni and Phinehas, would show disrespect or flagrant disobedience, he would feel bad about disciplining them. He kept silent,
his own heart accusing him of the times he himself had disobeyed his heavenly Abba. Even when the boys were cruel to the people visiting YHVH’s Tabernacle, Eli would show tenderness, mercy, and patience with them. Read
