"Think long and hard about the way you invest your children's time.
Time is treasure.
And where your time investment is, there you will find the heart of a child.
Invest the majority of his time in entertainment, and his heart will be turned to love of pleasure.
Invest his time in peers rather then family, and his heart will be with the peers more than his family.
There is a time and place for all good things in balance, but wise parents will steward the treasure of time, and in so doing, shepherd their children's hearts."
Balance is always needed when approaching the investing of time of our children--we never go wrong when we invest time in teaching them about our Lord, His Word, the character He expects from us, and His mission of loving others and sharing the gospel with them!
" But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." -Matthew 6:33

Today we are saying an official good-bye to our summer...school starts for us tomorrow. In a way it is sad to see it leave but we are looking forward to school, fall, pumpkins and acorns and all the wondrous things the Lord has in store for us.

Never lose an opportunity for seeing anything that is beautiful; For beauty is God's handwriting--a wayside sacrament. Welcome it in every fair face, in every fair sky, in every fair flower, And thank God for it as a cup of His blessing.

I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth.
So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything,
but only God who gives the growth.
He who plants and he who waters are one,
and each will receive his wages according to his labor.
For we are God's fellow workers.
-1 Corinthians 3:6-9
(These photos are by my daughter, Naomi, after the children picked this basketful in the garden one day. Our cucumbers did amazingly well this year many over a foot long! My son, Ravi, was so pleased since it is his favorite vegetable to plant. He likes to run inside showing them to us and measuring each one asking me if it is good enough to enter into the county fair!)

“I have learned that in every circumstance that comes my way,
I can choose to respond in one of two ways: I can whine or I can worship!
And I can't worship without giving thanks. It just isn't possible.
When we choose the pathway of worship and giving thanks, especially in the midst of difficult circumstances, there is a fragrance, a radiance, that issues forth out of our lives to bless the Lord and others.”

"A home is a refuge, a place of rest, a haven of content, where the burden of everyday life are relieved. No matter how humble the home may be, how destitute its stores, or how poorly it inmates may be clad, you will find a friendly welcome from heart beating true to your own. The chosen partner of your toil has a smile when others have deserted you, a hand of hope when all others refuse, and a heart to free your sorrows.
It should be the duty of all to strive to make home so happy that each evening will furnish pleasant memories to lighten the load of another day. Make it so happy that you do not tire of it, but long for the hour when your day's toil is over, and you desire to reach it because it is the happiest and dearest place on earth."
