My local homeschool support group is having a tea. The goal is to honor veteran homeschoolers while also encouraging those just starting out. There is a loose Mary Engelbreit theme. I want quotes and Scriptures written on chalkboards all around and framed on the tables. There are many many that I love but now I am coming up blank. I need your help.
Do you have a Scripture that motivates your homeschool? A phrase that spurs you on? Is there something that I just can’t leave out?
I am so inspired b the way Melissa at 320 Sycamore uses quotes in her decorating:
"It's nice to be important but it's more important to be nice."
Normal Day let me be aware of the treasure you are...
Don't ya just LOVE the Pretty is as Pretty does?

We have a few of them that I say almost every day...recently I have been just Thanking God all day all the time for the little things. I have read and heard of too many good people being taken from this earth at an early age, leaving families behind and I just don't want any moment to slip away..
Love that idea. I can't think of anything other than the teach them constantly, the one all homeschoolers seem to love. I love putting sayings and words around the house but sadly I never get around to it. I hope you have a wonderful tea.
I too love words...we have scripture all over the house that inspires us...

Two of my favorites are phillipians 4:8, and a line from an old Jimmy Steward movie called Shannendoah "If we don't try, we don't do. And if we don't do . . . then why are we here?"

Saves lot of money and time as compare to fax machine there is no competition.
