One of the definitions of the word art is "the creation of beautiful or significant things". Just like a master artist, the Lord Jesus creates beautiful and significant things in our lives when we give Him the time and space to work. I feel blessed to share what He is creating in my life with you.

Morning Time
This past year we added something we call "morning time" to begin our day. We try to start our school day at 9:00 am. Every day we open with a prayer and say our memory verse. I then read a portion of a book series Chronicles of the Kings, by Lynn Austin. We are each memorising a poem which we practice out loud. Then one day we read a page from a H.C. Hollings book, one day we sing the hymn that we are working on that month, one day we just read a poem. This has been an enjoyable way for me to motivate myself to start our day, especially on those days that I just feel like having a movie day. I also think it helps the girls prepare themselves for the tasks ahead. I have also added a daily walk down our short street around 11:00. It only takes about 10 minutes but the fresh air clears our minds and is good exercise for all.
