Anne’s Coffee Break | Plants Grown Up

Published: Thu, 08/10/23

This email makes your coffee taste better when your images are turned on. :-)

Blessings on you from the Elliott family! Thank you for subscribing, and we hope you enjoy today’s newsletter.

Good morning! I do apologize for not sending out any Coffee Break emails this week. We have been up to our necks in the online conference going on over at Homeschooling Torah. I think I'll just wait until next week to send these emails again.

However, I wanted to stop by and let you know I haven't forgotten you. I hope you'll substitute one of the conference sessions to drink with your coffee this morning instead.

Yesterday we uploaded quite a few videos to YouTube. You'll find all kinds of encouraging things for just about every season of life, from moms with little babies all the way to the grandmothers who are excited about their role in training up many generations.

I'll post a link to the conference on YouTube below. Don't forget to look UNDER each YouTube video for a link to a handout and many more resources.

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.

Have You Read Your Bible Today?

Hosea 9-10 | Psalm 40 | 2 Corinthians 10

Read commentary from Christine Miller.

Daily Bible Verse

"We cast down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ."

Our 10th Anniversary Homeschool Family Conference is now available on YouTube. Yesterday we uploaded the following videos:

How YHVH is a gardener and wants us to be good gardeners (parents) as well.
How to build a loving greenhouse (a happy home and marriage)
Gardening overload (what to do when you are taking in too much information and don't know how to make a wise decision)
Kinds of soil (why some people seem to learn well -- and others don't!)
Hardening off plants (what to do with challenges in our lives, and how soon to expose our children to those challenges)
A Nourishing Home (all about good food and why the Father intends for us to eat it!)
Starting seeds (4 loving things all babies and preschoolers need)
Precocious flowering (kids who grow up too fast)
Frogs, pests, thorns, and heat (more on what to do about the challenging things we face in our world)
Special needs (and why all people learn better with these tips)
Pruning (a look at discipline from a biblical perspective, to help our children bear more good fruit)
Plants that know their purpose (and looking at why YHVH created us and what He wants for our lives)

Today I'll be uploading over 20 MORE videos, mostly focusing on how to homeschool. Here is a direct link to the conference's YouTube Playlist.

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
