"These people must be Christians; it says, 'Jesus' EVERYWHERE in here!" Molly exclaimed these words as we walked around a little Mennonite bookstore in Wellesley the other day. Teaching them to recognize who they are in Christ, how to spot others with the same lifesong, and boldly share their love for Jesus, is part of our family's vision. What's yours? Do your children know it?
As we stood for our moment of silence this morning, we remembered not only what our soldiers did for us (and are doing), but what our Saviour did for us. The questions were abundant and I felt so thankful to be homeschooling. I had the opportunity to impart our vision through Remembrance Day ceremonies.
In the midst of math, shopping, obligations, etc., I have a mission field here at home. I try to remember this daily; remember that I've been given four little lives in which to plant a vision so mighty that it will affect the future of our world. 
" Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13

Oh the beauty of the mission field at home! Oh how we need to cultivate a mindset of Christ, in our dear little ones!
Have a great Wednesday. It is beautiful and sunny here, in NY.

You are so right that the mission field in your very home is the one you are most responsible for and most influential in. Keep up the good work!
It warms my heart to know that you and your children celebrated my dad and his service for our country today--yes, he was a veteran of WWII. Thank you so much for teaching your children the importance of remembering. Blessings, Dianne
LOVE this post! Great pictures...you capture it all perfectly.
I agree ~ it is so important to remember not only those who have given their lives for the freedoms we enjoy, but the ONE Who gave HIS life that we might live eternally FREE from the curse of SIN! I appreciated how you tied that in! Such blessings!
In His Love,
Camille
