Blessings on you from the Elliott family! Thank you for subscribing, and we hope you enjoy today’s newsletter. Happy Thursday! Sometimes our homes get a bit cluttered by this time each week, so today's posts are all about decluttering and restoring peace. 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"Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever
humbles himself will be exalted." (Matthew 23:12)
anah—to humble; to put down; to become low, to weaken oneself. Source

Summertime is here, and while vacation or gardening might make life a little crazier at times, generally life is also more laid back. In our home school, we have cut out extra subjects for a few weeks and are just focusing on the basics — Bible, reading, math, and writing. I have a little more time to play with the little ones or do a special project
with the big kids (or potty train!). Read More

How to Correct Fighting ChildrenBy Anne Elliott, December 9, 2011, AnneElliott.com
A friend wrote: "I would love to hear what you do when your kids do argue or fight. Mine don’t say hateful things, or punch each other, but this summer was particularly bad in arguing, taking offense, offending the other in the silly little things. Most of the time
they are best friends and will move mountains for each other, but it seems to be that or the extreme opposite, even for just a few moments. I pulled out my Creative Correction book (by Lisa Welchel) and implemented some ideas. We went over and over most of the verses [in your post]. "But the reality is, the arguments do happen. We are human and sinful, as are our children, and I can’t imagine that your
kids never argue. What it would be very helpful, probably for most of us is the ways you deal with the arguments… Can you give practical ideas on dealing with the arguments please?” Read More |
Thank you for taking time to sip coffee with me. I hope your day is tov—good and accomplishing what the Creator designed you for.
Everything your hand finds to do, do it with all your might and for the glory of Yah! Shalom, ~Anne Elliott P.S. Can you help by sharing this newsletter with a friend? Here's a link. |
