“A noble, all-round manhood does not come by chance. It is the result of the molding process of character building in the early years of youth, and a practice of the law of God in the home.”

“Shall we consider that we are capable of fashioning our lives and characters to enter into the portals of glory? We cannot do it. We are dependent every moment upon the Spirit of God operating upon us and upon our children.
If parents would see a different state of things in their family, let them consecrate themselves wholly to God, and the Lord will devise ways and means whereby a transformation may take place in their households.”

Great Idea – Upcycled Story Magnets

Upcycled story magnets- what a great idea! Old or torn picture books and old Sabbath school papers are excellent sources for pictures. This is a great way to occupy little ones while you are working with older children. Ask a child to arrange the pictures to suit them and then tell you a story- you’ve just worked on some great literacy/pre-writing/early composition skills. Fun!

“Parents should never lose sight of their own responsibility for the future happiness of their children. Isaac’s deference to his father’s judgment was the result of the training that had taught him to love a life of obedience. While Abraham required his children to respect parental authority, his daily life testified that that authority was not a selfish or arbitrary control, but was founded in love, and had their welfare and happiness in view.”
