Gleaning from the Conference!

Gleaning! I like to glean. Sort thru another's lessons and glean the ones for me. Somewhere in this mix is my gleaning.

1. School breaks with exercise, put up shoes, chore, activity


2. Positive incentives to obedience: Noah, Samuel, Esther; cast a vision of obedience and availability to God


3. Recognize & teach the valley of indecision, habit of obedience


4. Practice Obedience, right away & cheerful


5. Handel whine quick, remove eg. food, tone matters


6. Busy is less opportunity for trouble


7. Tithe & Save 10/10 then 50% left for child's house


8. Listen for the rebellion & address at voice inflection


9. Discipline/Affection/Pray


10. Pray for a duration, set a timer 5 min


11. Keep children with you, touching


12. In the valley win the battle: Helen Keller


13. Read the Bible: encourage underlining & journal a comment about the verses


14. Intentional children are the priority, no the phone or computer


15. Relationship over Academics Keep your eye on the goal, don't loose heart


16. Break the will


17. Thankfulness is for them: Thankful & Please counter on fridge

This is just a smattering of the lessons that are following me. It was good to write them all down on the ride home. Thanks Kim for the help! They remind me of Jesus' parable of the seeds that fell on the path, rocky soil, shallow, & those in good soil. May some of these find their way to good soil and produce a crop 100x fold.

I really enjoyed Renee Ellison of Homeschool How-To's. Her workshops are always stuffed stem to stern. Hubbie & I also just made it to Tod Weaver of the Familyman. I'm thrilled for Hubbie to get that scope for us in the journey of us homeschooling... He hit a mark with us.

Maybe you can glean something too!! Grace! ss
