Ephesians 1:15-23


 15 For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, 
16 I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, 
18 having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, 
19 and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might 
20 that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, 
21 far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. 22 And he put all things under his feet and gave him ashead over all things to the church, 
23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.

Deuteronomy 6

1 “Now this is the commandment—the statutes and the rules—that the LORD your God commanded me to teach you, that you may do them in the land to which you are going over, to possess it, 2 that you may fear the LORD your God, you and your son and your son’s son, by keeping all his statutes and his commandments, which I command you, all the days of your life, and that your days may be long. 3 Hear therefore, O Israel, and be careful to do them, that it may go well with you, and that you may multiply greatly, as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has promised you, in a land flowing with milk and honey.

 4 “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. 5 You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. 6 And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. 7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. 8 You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. 9 You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

As many of you know, I have been reading through the bible with a few fellow homeschoolers.  I just recently read the above verses.  Verse 7 really sticks out to me.  Parents are to teach their children.  Diligently at that!
I am so thankful and blessed that I get to stay at home with my children and teach them.  Teach them about God, his love, mercy and most of all grace.

641.  Seeing my daughter enjoy the nature club in 4-H.

642.  Having memories of my parents dropping me off for my 4-H meetings.

643.  A great 1st day of school in 2012.

644.  Having the boys I watch on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

645.  Finding out that we can have a library card at the neighboring county’s library.

646.  Little bursts of sunshine in between the rain systems coming through our area.

647.  The Ephesians study we are doing on Wednesday night at church.

648.  Friends passing on clothing to my children.

649.  Special friendships made online.

650.  See The Light sponsoring me, so that I can attend the 2:1 Conference!!!

I hope you will consider joining me and the others at A Holy Experience!
