For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.

Christ Our Savior – Free Audio & Text Versions
It has always been important in our home that we cover the life of Christ in our homeschool Bible studies/family worship as often as possible. 
Right now, for the benefit of my youngest, we are listening to an audio version of Christ Our Savior by E.G. White. It is the children’s version of The Desire of Ages. If you would rather read the book aloud, the text is available also. Both audio and text versions are free.

A Gentle Suggestion for Getting Started With Homeschooling
Dear new homeschooling parent,
Would you mind a suggestion on getting started with homeschooling? Especially those of you with younger elementary-aged children? Okay- here it is.
Start slowly. Ease into your new schedule/lifestyle. Start with Bible, then a little bit of reading and math. Perhaps 15-20 minutes each of reading or math, and then put the books away for the day. Go for a walk, play with some Legos, paint, color – go have fun. Save the science and history and everything else for later. A week or two later, maybe a month later.
Going from “0 to 60” in one day with homeschooling can very easily leave a new homeschooling parent feeling overwhelmed and discouraged. Just because the parent manual lists 6 subjects to be taught on the first day does not mean you have to do exactly that. The transition to homeschooling can be much easier on you and your child if you take it slow and steady.
It will all get done – trust me, it will. It just doesn’t have to all be done TODAY.
Blessings on your homeschool journey,
Ann

“The principle inculcated by the injunction, “Be kindly affectioned one to another” (Romans 12:10), lies at the very foundation of domestic happiness.
Unkindness, complaining, and anger shut Jesus from the dwelling. I saw that angels of God will flee from a house where there are unpleasant words, fretfulness, and strife.”
