“For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.” Exodus 20:11

It was been a quiet week on the AHE blog. One lonely post. The other posts in my head just did not get written.
That’s okay.
My days were overflowing this week with homeschooling and home-keeping. Multiplying fractions, getting laundry on and off the line, and peanut butter sandwiches. Piano recitals, descriptive writing and watercolor painting. Days so full, there was no room for blogging.
That’s okay.
When our days fill up with more responsibilities than hours in the day, it becomes vitally important that we take time to prioritize. Home is our first work, our missionary field. The teaching and training of our children that God has called us to must always come first, along with the proper governance of our homes follows. That means that there will be times when we have to leave other interests and tasks behind.
That’s okay.
“There is no more important field of effort than that committed to the founders and guardians of the home. No work entrusted to human beings involves greater or more far-reaching results than does the work of fathers and mothers.”

“Educate the children and youth to consider the works of the great Master Artist, and to imitate the attractive graces of nature in their character building. As the love of God wins their hearts, let them bring into their lives the beauty of holiness. So shall they use their capabilities to bless others and to honor God.”
