Blessings on you from the Elliott family! Thank you for subscribing, and we hope you enjoy today’s newsletter. How is your new week going? All our extended family has returned home after the recent wedding of our son. I slept in a few mornings to catch up on rest, and now I'm getting back into the rhythm of things. 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.

I had a fun week in homeschooling, a monumental week really. My children and I got a school room of our own! For 9 years of school, we’ve been using the dining room as our “school room,” which is fine—but my husband is so neat and tidy (and I’m not naturally so at all), so it’s always a struggle to return the dining room back to its original purpose
at the end of each day. In addition, I have always wished for a place to hang a white board, maps, charts, and other “schoolish” things. Maybe not all mothers feel this way, but it’s always been a secret desire of mine. (Again, I love our decor, but it is sometimes hard to teach in an environment of pretty things in… well… a dining room!) Read More
Would it be a dream come true to use the BIBLE to teach WORLD HISTORY? At Foundations Press, you can use the Bible and amazing living books to study history with all your children together. Begin with Creation and continue with the Flood, the Tower of
Babel, Sumer, Abraham and the nation of Israel, Egypt, Canaanite nations, Assyria, and the judgments on both the northern and southern kingdoms of Israel and Judah. Go on to study Persia, Greece, and Rome from a biblical perspective -- and then KEEP GOING through church history, medieval times, the Renaissance, and the Reformation, even American history. Yes, the Bible CAN be your primary textbook! Learn More |
