T-shirt Art Project:
We will be accepting designs created from moms, kids, dads (grandparents, etc… ) from families that are currently homeschooling.
The design can be anything related to homeschooling, it doesn’t HAVE to be related to AHE.
The design should have a place for 2011-2012 dates on it somewhere, although it doesn’t need to be prominent. *If not included in the design itself, it can be included in a tagline below the design such as “2011-2012 design by “Robbie”, homeschooler”.
—
There will be no prize, as indicated earlier. Please see comments below. We simply are not able to come up with art ideas on our own and hope that out of kindness of your hearts, you would like to join us in trying to find an appropriate design. The art project gives your kids something to work on, for art, but we never meant it to be a competition of a sort.
Deadline for submissions: SEPTEMBER 29th, 2011
Submit your art to: adventisthomeducator@gmail.com
Have FUN with this!!! 🙂
Sunshine in the home is :
1. Kind Words
2. Pleasant Looks
3. True Love
How many parents are lamenting the fact that they cannot keep their children at home, that they have no love for home. At an early age they have a desire for the company of strangers; and as soon as they are old enough they break away from that which appears to them to be bondage and unreasonable restraint, and will neither heed a mother’s prayers nor a father’s counsels. Investigation would generally reveal that the sin lay at the door of the parents. They have not made home what it ought to be–attractive, pleasant, radiant with the sunshine of kind words, pleasant looks, and true love.
The secret of saving your children lies in making your home lovely and attractive. Indulgence in parents will not bind the children to God nor to home; but a firm, godly influence to properly train and educate the mind would save many children from ruin. -egw
Thank you Tonya, for sharing this post from your blog, Momma’s Sunshine, with us today!
“The sower soweth the word.” Here is presented the great principle which should underlie all educational work. “The seed is the word of God.” But in too many schools of our day God’s word is set aside. Other subjects occupy the mind. The study of infidel authors holds a large place in the educational system. Skeptical sentiments are interwoven in the matter placed in school books. Scientific research becomes misleading, because its discoveries are misinterpreted and perverted. The word of God is compared with the supposed teachings of science, and is made to appear uncertain and untrustworthy. Thus the seeds of doubt are planted in the minds of the youth, and in time of temptation they spring up. When faith in God’s word is lost, the soul has no guide, no safeguard. The youth are drawn into paths which lead away from God and from everlasting life.

We are blessed to have Tonya from Momma’s Sunshine share with us today. Thank you so much Tonya, for sharing notes and thoughts from your encouraging blog with us!
Today, I was listening to a co-worker talk about her children and their not so great traits of character. As I listened, I had a thought. I shared that thought with her and this is what I said…”You are the sunshine in the home”
I really believe to a large degree a child’s happiness or unhappiness stems from “Momma”.
You know the saying, “If Momma ain’t happy then ain’t nobody happy”
After getting home, I thought “Hey, I could blog about tips and ways and stuff on expressing and sharing sunshine in the home”.
So, here I am again in blogland.
Sunshine Tip #1—-Believe that YOU are the sunshine in your home…Not the television, toys or Xbox. Radiate sunshine. Take care of yourself first. By this I mean, make sure you eat a hearty breakfast, exercise and dress neatly and nicely. Spend time in God’s Word as the Source of all your sunshine. Remember that he who hath the Son hath life. Share your life with your family and friends. Be a blessing!
“Never underrate the importance of little things. Little things supply the actual discipline of life. It is by them that the soul is trained that it may grow into the likeness of Christ, or bear the likeness of evil. God helps us to cultivate habits of thought, word, look, and action that will testify to all about us that we have been with Jesus and learned of Him!”
