Home-discipling poll

Since I can't get my poll to work, I'll post the poll! See the poll off to the side? You can post a comment on 'how your homeschool rolls'. Are you primarily structured/scheduled, casual/flexible or a mixture of both? Thanks for taking part in the poll!

Henceforth~Theodore Monod

 Oh, the bitter shame and sorrow, that a time would ever be, when I let the Saviour's pity plead in vain, and proudly answered; "All of self, and none of Thee".

 Yet He found me; I beheld Him bleeding on the accursed tree. Heard Him pray; 'Forgive them Father', and my wistful heart said faintly: "Some of self, and some of Thee".

  Day by day His tender mercy, healing, helping, full and free, sweet and strong, and ah! so patient, brought me lower, while I whispered; "Less of self, and more of Thee"

  Higher than the highest heaven, deeper than the deepest sea, Lord, Thy love at last hath conquered; grant me now my supplication; "None of self, and all of Thee"

Thoughts on eternity....

Could you be so selfish--and so cruel? 

(G. Whyte, 1888)

"Now the dwelling of God is with men, and He will live with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain!" Revelation 21:3-4

Would you call them back to earth again?

Would you wish them back--back from the presence of the Lamb? 

Back from the sweets of glory--to the bitterness of time?

Back from those rivers of pure pleasure which flow at God's right hand--to the muddied streams in this valley of sorrow? 

After they have reached the haven of rest--would you recall them to struggle again with the storms of life?

Could you be so selfish--and so cruel? 

"They feast on the abundance of Your house; You give them drink from Your river of delights!" Psalm 36:8

"You will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand!" Psalm 16:11

Happy Birthday to Me!!

WE had a fantastic 4th with friends! It lasted 4 days! Thanks for the great time Pelis family!

Pray without ceasing...

The Bible instructs us to "Pray without ceasing", (1Thess. 5:17), and to "Present our supplications..."(Phil 4:6). But do you ever find that your prayers are more like QUESTIONS?? No, I don't mean 'questioning' God, why He does and chooses certain things (for HIS glory and our good), but I find that I pray "Lord what should she do?", or "Where should he go?" I question how to pray for my family, friends and brothers and sister in Christ. I certainly do not know what is best for the brethren, but trust that the Lord does. Looking forward to that Great Day when we have the mind of Christ and question no more.
