THE CROSS
“When Joshua sent them home, he blessed them, saying,
Joshua 22:7,8
Intr.:
‘Return to your homes with your great wealth –
a. with large herds of livestock,
b. with silver, gold, bronze and iron, and
c. a great quantity of clothing –
End:
and divide with your brothers the plunder from your enemies.'”
THE CROSS
“‘But be very careful to keep the commandment and the law
Joshua 22:5
Intr.:
that Moses the servant of the LORD gave you:
a. to love the LORD your God,
b. to walk in all his ways,
c. to obey his commands,
d. to hold fast to him, and

I did not know about the different philosophies used today to teach and train children.
There is the RIE philosophy for infants.
What is this philosophy all about?
The philosophy is based on respect. That means that even the youngest infant is a unique human being. The infant is not an object.
There is the Reggio Emilia philosophy for the children who are over two years of age.
That philosophy follows an emergent curriculum. It is based on the child and the interests of the child. And they direct the topics for learning.
Once more, I did no know about the different philosophies until learning about them today, but I have known from earliest childhood what the Bible says about teaching and training children. Please read Deuteronomy 11:18,19!
The Bible says to teach the Words of the Lord to children. And the Bible says also: “Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.” – Proverbs 22:6
“A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.” – Albert Einstein
A beautiful Flower
“Not one of all the LORD’S good promises to the house of Israel failed; every one was fulfilled.” – Joshua 21:45
The Flower on the Driveway
Plunger
“Don’t fall for anything else,” is written on the box.
The box is now empty, but when it was full, it contained a plunger
But there is more writing on it: “At Gravity we eat, sleep and breathe coffee. It’s fair to say, it’s our reason for being.”
Reading that I am asking myself, “What do I eat, sleep and breathe, and what is my reason for being?”
What do I stand for?
“If we don’t stand for something, we’ll fall for anything!”

1. Reading books by good Bible Teachers inspires me to read the Bible.
One of my favourite Bible Teachers in D. M. Lloyd-Jones.
2. Going for walks inspires me to write.
Really good ideas are coming to my mind when I am on the last stretch of road before reaching our house.
