Words that Inspire

I love words. (sometimes it’s my downfall) I love Scriptures on my doorposts, words of inspiration framed everywhere, reminders adorning my walls. There is a reason that God spoke the world into being and Jesus is the WORD (and Truth and Life) God has chosen to communicate with us through the Bible, His Word.



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.

LOVE And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. (1Corinthians 13:13)

Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. (1Peter 3:8-9)

And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. (Ephesians 4:31-32)
OBEDIENCE Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. (Ephesians 6:1-3)

RESPECT Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
(Eph 6:2-4)
SELF-CONTROL But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. (Galatians 5:22-23)
THOROUGHNESS Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. (1Corinthians 10:31)



I love quotations but at this point in time I feel led to impress Scripture on the hearts and minds of my kiddos...

I'm also a lover of words. I have a beautiful journal where I write down new and interesting words or just words that I love and I also include the meanings.
I'm participating in the “It’s Almost Friday” hop and I’m now the newest follower of your great site. Hope you have a chance to check out my blog, have a look around and maybe follow me back!!

Oh I so love this. I'm with you -- I love being surrounded by inspiring thoughts. In fact, I'm in the process of framing a whole wall of them in my studio. 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?"

Anyone who depends on online teaching jobs needs to make a special effort to keep their students interested and on track. Almost all you will need to execute is to try to heed these individuals seeing that they may be beneficial a part of your lifetime. In 2003, States 16 quotas on the amount, the applicant can use up the costs of the Convention in cases of medical responsibility. Affiliate marketing through the internet is what most people use as the stepping stone to create a good career online.

Saves lot of money and time as compare to fax machine there is no competition. Because they can be reached by dialing the same number of digits as any US number you may not be aware the number is to a foreign country - until you get the bill. Carfax can't tell you if the tranny is shot, or the brakes worn. There is much less hassle and trouble, just imagine no more missed faxes because of paper jams or busy signals.
