This past Monday, a local home school group, Loving Education at Home, shared an enlightening documentary, entitled "The Child" that outlined ominous changes in American courts toward parental rights. Historically, American courts presumed parents make good decisions for their children unless the State presented evidence to the contrary. Today, there is a growing trend to assume experts, including governmental agencies, are better equipped to determine the best ways to raise a child. The video documented this alarming transition with case after case of startling outcomes: Children as young as 11 given autonomy in medical decisions; public schools legally permitted to present sexually explicit material without prior parental notice; local libraries allowed to refuse to share a nine-year olds' internet records or book lists (even with past due fees being collected). Nationwide, court rulings clearly reveal that parents are no longer respected as the primary authority in their children's lives.
While an overwhelming majority of American parents (93%) believe they are best equipped to direct their children's education, faith and medical treatments, American courts increasingly disagree. Despite historical precedents in the Courts that presume parents to be best equipped to guide their children, most judges no longer hold parental rights in such high regard. Formerly given a 'fundamental right' status, a 2007 Maryland court actually ruled: "parental right bends to a state's duty to educate its citizens." This judgment dealt with a public school sexuality education program. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia threw the gauntlet to family advocates by explicitly stating there are no constitutional protections for parents. The Parental Rights Organization took that challenge seriously and the documentary is part of an ambitious campaign to secure a Parental Rights Amendment to the Constitution.
Beyond the domestic rulings, a United Nations treaty developed two decades ago through the Convention on the Rights of Children (CRC) looms darkly over American families. This treaty, presented in language as devious and compelling as the serpent's words to Eve, threatens the very future of America. The hearts and minds of young people will be vulnerable to governmental determinations on what is best. The Treaty, supported by both President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, offers appealing ideas. "The best interests of the child" and "a child's right to be heard" are difficult concepts to oppose. Yet the practical implications include a child's right to a governmental hearing for any parental decision with which a child disagrees. 'Legally enforceable leisure' and unrestricted media access choices are also a child's right under the CRC. The treaty deems it necessary for even Christian schools to present "alternative worldviews" as equally acceptable. This treaty, though not ratified by the US, has already been cited in American court cases as "customary international law" since it has been adopted by the majority of world nations. The American difference is that our Constitution requires courts to abide by international treaties, in all cases except Constitution-delineated rights. In other areas of the world treaties have far less impact than in America. In fact, no nation that has adopted this treaty over the past twenty years can even claim child welfare improvements. Despite that fact, pressure continues to mount for formal adoption of the treaty by the US. Should that occur, an 18-member committee of international officials (from countries such as Switzerland, Uganda and Egypt) would interpret proper application of the Treaty to American courts--and homes.
The combined changes in American courts and the threat of the impact of the U.N. Treaty on individual American lives propelled the Parental Rights Organization to develop resources for American families to use in taking a stand against this assault against families. The family is the building block of any society. In previous years, Communist, Nazi and Socialist regimes systemically attacked parental authority to secure governmental control over young people. Satan has been attacking families since the Garden of Eden for he detests God's design for the home. A Constitutional Amendment would provide textual precedent for family-friendly lawyers and judges to use to keep American homes strong.

You are the parent God chose for your child. Isn't that a puzzling, sometimes overwhelming concept? As we begin walking the labyrinth of parenting, the paths ahead are blessedly shrouded. The parenting journey includes delights beyond imagination and thorny passages which instill fear and frustration. God's Word tells us the Creator Himself shepherds those with young and guides them on the paths; yet, it doesn't always feel that way. At times the complexities of parenthood give the illusion that God stepped off the throne as challenges were assigned or that perhaps He confused us with a wiser, more loving and experienced parent. The reality is more incredible than we can begin to grasp. In His infinite love and wisdom, God chose each parent and each child as unique, perfect gifts for one another. The blessings are mutualthe plan perfect.
God uses the tool of parenthood to craft His family likeness into earthly moms and dads. He longs for His glory to be revealed in the parenting privilege. Nearly a decade and a half ago, we brought our baby home from the N-ICU with overwhelming joy, awe, fear and a numbing sense of inadequacy. The ability of a five-pound baby to bring a prideful heart to its knees is powerful! God continues to use the University of Motherhood to draw me unto Himself, to unveil the reality that His strength is revealed in my weaknessesand what a superb reality! My pride had rejoiced in meeting the challenges of life head-on. The magnitude of the responsibility for nurturing this precious life shattered every competency I had ever relied upon. Parenthood has taught me I do not need to be in control and managing every detail perfectly. It has taught me that struggling is okay! It is not a sign of defeat to be engaged in a battle. Struggles simply strip away the deceits which have hidden the doorway to God's strength. The inequities and burdens of life create opportunities for God to transform parents and to begin drawing our beloved children to Him. Struggles are to help us embrace His presence in our lives with confident hopewith certaintythat His plans and purposes are perfect. As we hold fast to that hope, the very image of God begins to shine forth in our liveschanging us, lighting our children's paths and touching all those around us!
Beyond the challenges of parenthood lie mountains which dot the landscape of our children's future--mountains woven into the design of our children's lives by their loving, heavenly Father. His love for our children is greater and more perfect than ours. God would never allow a mountain for which He has not provided provisions for conquering. Parents are a key part of those provisions. The parent God chooses for a child has the strengthsand the weaknessesto guide their children to the Shepherd Himself. God longs to take the hands of our children and guide them in life. Leading our children to the One who provides abundantly is the key task of our parenting assignment. Treasure the challenges on your parenting journey as the doorways to Christ. There is a splendor possible through embracing God's presence in the trials of life which will produce faith that perseveres and moves mountains aside.
Being chosen as a parent is a life-transforming gift from a loving God. We have been chosen to receive another precious gift from Godeternal life. God longs for each of us to embrace His plan for us to become His childto be made perfect through faith in His son, Jesus Christ. Becoming His child is the key to becoming the parent your child needs. If you do not have a loving relationship with the heavenly Father, choose to change that today!

It is your job as a parent to teach your children. Much of this teaching has to be intentional. One of the things that you must be conscious of is how to teach your son to respect women. God created men and women to be different but not to be any less valuable. Throughout history, women have been controlled, abused, and mistreated by men. The church needs to follow Jesus' example and treat women as equals that deserve to be treated with respect. Do the following things:
Help him to recognize that God created him with a warrior spirit that is to be harnessed to protect rather than control women. Men need to use their physical strength to care for those they love rather than to dominate them.
Help him to respectfully listen to women even when he doesn't understand them. Teach him the differences between men and women in order to help him appreciate rather than judge the differences. This will give him patience and a willingness to tolerate things that he doesn't understand.
Teach him to respect his mother. If you tolerate disrespect from him as his mother then he will not respect other women. You also must give him an example of a woman who is worthy of respect in character and in behavior. Love him so he will not harbor anger in his heart toward you that comes out toward other women because of the wounds he has from hurts from you.
Teach him to treat his sister with kindness and feel a responsibility to be a caring male in her life. It can even be healthy for him to watch her and protect her in a way that affirms his role as one man in her life who is to care for her and protect her.
Hold his father responsible for treating women respectfully. This means he must not view women as sex objects. He must be faithful to you as his wife. He has to view daughters as equal in value and ability as sons. He must not try to control you but love you as Christ loves the church. He must not be abusive to you or his children. If he does not do these things, you must make a stand that shows that his behavior is wrong and displeasing to God.

Angel’s tears flood the skies, as they watch us from above.
Their tears have flowed throughout generations of the years.
They cry for those who are lost, and can not find their way.
Their cries of joy, for those of us who have been saved.
For our names are engraved and can not be erased.
From Heavens gate these Angels wait, their claps of thunder when we come.
Their lightning hits the sky, as they celebrate our heavenly reunion.
Their tears are made of love and sorrow, as they watch us from above.
The stars light our nights, as the Angels give praise to Gods, power and might.
Gods amazing grace is in the tears that flow, as the Angels cry from the sky.
Their tears make the flowers grow in May, as the blooms give praise for the rain.
Their tears make the rivers flow, the soft green grass that grows, and the cover of the trees.
They give life to this place we call earth, but our home is not here to be.
For the Angels tears are soon to call us home, to see loved ones once more.
God’s spirit is in each tear that falls from Heaven, as he opens the gate as we enter in.
As He waits for our time on earth, is a short time and his love is forever in our souls.
Yes the Angels tears flood the sky, as they watch us from above.
God and his Angels tear are mingled, with joy and sorrow as they watch us from above.
Yes the Angels tears flow with grace and love, as they watch us from above.
Yes the Angels tears flow with grace and love, as they watch us from above.

I sat on a ledge.
Overlooking a peaceful lake.
I sit quietly smiling.
As I watched mesmerized.
A mother bear and her two cubs.
It seemed funny to me.
Thinking to myself.
How mothers will be mothers.
Two legged or four.
As I watched the scene unfold.
A mother is teaching her young to survive.
One cub was learning the lesson.
The other was yards away playing in the water.
The lesson seemed to be on how to catch fish.
The mother was getting a little upset.
She raises her head and gives a small shout at her playful cub.
The cub was busy, engrossed in something in the water.
To pay much attention to it's mother.
Mother got up from her lesson to go to her cub.
Grabbing it behind the neck and dragging it back to its sibling.
As she sat it down beside her.
She gave another small shout.
Now she had its attention.
The lesson had begun once more.
I left that scene, but never forgot that lesson.

The sovereignty of God may be defined as the exercise of His supremacy. Being infinitely elevated above the highest creature, He is the Most High, Lord of heaven and earth.
Subject to none, influenced by none, absolutely independent; God does as He pleases, only as He pleases always as He pleases. None can thwart Him, none can hinder Him. So His own Word expressly declares: "My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure" (Isa. 46:10); "He doeth according to His will in the army of heaven, and the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay His hand" (Dan. 4:35). Divine sovereignty means that God is God in fact, as well as in name, that He is on the Throne of the universe, directing all things, working all things "after the counsel of His own will" (Eph. 1:11).
Mr. Spurgeon says in his sermon on Matthew 20:15:
There is no attribute more comforting to His children than that of God's Sovereignty. Under the most adverse circumstances, in the most severe trials, they believe that Sovereignty has ordained their afflictions, that Sovereignty overrules them, and that Sovereignty will sanctify them all.
There is nothing for which the children ought more earnestly learn than the doctrine of their Master over all creationthe Kingship of God over all the works of His own handsthe Throne of God and His right to sit upon that Throne.
On the other hand, there is no doctrine more hated byunbelievers, no truth of which they have made such a football, as the great, stupendous, but yet most certain doctrine of the Sovereignty of the infinite Jehovah.
Men will allow God to be everywhere except on His throne. They will allow Him to be in His workshop to fashion worlds and make stars. They will allow Him to be in His almonry to dispense His alms and bestow His bounties. They will allow Him to sustain the earth and bear up the pillars thereof, or light the lamps of heaven, or rule the waves of the ever-moving ocean; but when God ascends His throne, His creatures then gnash their teeth, and we proclaim an enthroned God, and His right to do as He wills with His own, to dispose of His creatures as He thinks well, without consulting them in the matter; then it is that we are hissed and execrated, and then it is that men turn a deaf ear to us, for God on His throne is not the God they love. But it is God upon the throne that we love to preach. It is God upon His throne whom we trust.
"Whatsoever the Lord pleased, that did He in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places" (Ps. 135:6). Yes, dear reader, such is the imperial Potentate revealed in Holy Writ. Unrivalled in majesty, unlimited in power, unaffected by anything outside Himself. But we are living in a day when even the most "orthodox" seem afraid to admit the proper Godhood of God. They say that to press excludes human responsibility; whereas human responsibility is based upon Divine sovereignty, and is the product of it.
"But our God is in the heavens: He hath done whatsoever He hath pleased" (Ps. 115:3). He sovereignly chose to place each of His creatures on that particular footing which seemed good in His sight. He created angels: some He placed on a conditional footing, others He gave an immutable standing before Him (1 Tim. 5:21), making Christ their head (Col. 2:10). Let it not be overlooked that the angels which sinned (2 Pet. 2:5),. were as much His creatures as the angels that sinned not. Yet God foresaw they would fall, nevertheless He placed them on a mutable creature, conditional footing, and suffered them to fall, though He was not the Author of their sin.
So too, God sovereignly placed Adam in the garden of Eden with one condition. Had He chosen, He could have placed him with no conditions; He could have placed him on a footing as firm as that occupied by the unfallen angels, He could have placed him upon a footing as sure and as immutable as that which His saints have in Christ. But, instead, He chose to set him in Eden on the basis of creature responsibility, so that he stood or fell according as he measured or failed to measure up to his responsibility obedience to his Maker. Adam stood accountable to God by the law which his Creator had given him. Here was responsibility, unimpaired responsibility, tested out under the most favorable conditions.
The Lord God sovereignly placed Israel upon a conditional footing. The 19th, 20th and 24th chapters of Exodus afford a clear and full proof of this. They were placed under a covenant of works. God gave to them certain laws, and made national blessing for them depend upon their observance of His statutes. But Israel were obstinate and uncircumcised in heart. They rebelled against Jehovah, forsook His law, turned unto false gods, apostatized.
As a result, Divine judgment fell upon them, they were delivered into the hands of their enemies, dispersed abroad throughout the earth, and remain under the heavy frown of God's displeasure to this day.
God in His high sovereignty placed Satan and his angels, Adam, Israel, in their respective responsible positions. But so far from His sovereignty taking away responsibility from the creation, it was by the exercise thereof that He placed them on this conditional footing.
God is God over all. There is perfect harmony between the sovereignty of God and the responsibility of the creation. Many have most foolishly said that it is quite impossible to show where Divine sovereignty ends and creature accountability begins.
Here is where creature responsibility begins: in the sovereign obedience and subservience to the Creator. As to His sovereignty, there is not and never will be any "end" to it!
Let us give further proofs that the responsibility of the creature is based upon God's sovereignty.
How many things are recorded in Scripture which were right because God commanded them, and which would not have been right had He not so commanded! What right had Adam to "eat" of the trees of the Garden? The permission of his Maker (Gen. 2:16), without such, he had been a thief! What right had Israel to "borrow" of the Egyptians' jewels and raiment (Ex. 12:35)? None, unless Jehovah had authorized it (Ex. 3:22). What right had Israel to slay so many lambs for sacrifice? None, except that God commanded it. What right had Israel to kill off all the Canaanites? None, save as Jehovah had bidden them. What right has the husband to require submission from his wife? None, unless God had appointed it. And so we might go on. Human responsibility is based upon Divine sovereignty.
One more example of the exercise of God's absolute sovereignty:
God placed His elect upon a different footing from Adam or Israel. He placed them upon an unconditional footing. In the Everlasting Covenant Jesus Christ was appointed their Head, took their responsibilities upon Himself, and wrought out a righteousness for them which is perfect, indefeasible, eternal. Christ was placed upon a conditional footing, for He was "made under the law, to redeem them that were under the law," only with this infinite difference: the others failed, He did not and could not. And who placed Christ upon that conditional footing? The Triune God. It was sovereign will that appointed Him, sovereign love that sent Him, sovereign authority that assigned Him His work.
Christ was to be made in the likeness of sin's flesh;
Christ was to magnify the law and make it honorable;
Christ was to bear all the sins of all God's people in His own body on the tree;
Christ was to make full, atonement for them;
Christ was to endure the outpoured wrath of God;
Christ was to die and be buried. On the fulfillment of those conditions He was promised a reward: Isaiah 53:10-12.
Christ was to be the Firstborn among many brethren;
Christ was to have a people who should share His glory.
Blessed be His name forever, He fulfilled those conditions, and because He did so, the Father stands pledged, on solemn oath, to preserve through time and bless throughout eternity every one of those for whom His incarnate Son mediated. Because He took their place, they now share His. His righteousness is theirs, His standing before God is theirs, His life is theirs. There is not a single condition for them to meet, not a single responsibility for them to discharge in order to attain their eternal bliss. "By one offering He hath perfected forever them that are set apart" (Heb. 10:14).
Here then is the sovereignty of God openly displayed before all, displayed in the different ways in which He has dealt with His creatures. Part of the angels, Adam, Israel, were placed upon a conditional footing, continuance in blessing being made dependent upon their obedience and fidelity to God. But in sharp contrast from them, the "little flock" (Luke 12:32), have been given an unconditional, an immutable standing in God's covenant, God's counsels, God's Son; their blessing being made dependent upon what Christ did for them. "The foundation of God stands sure, having this seal: The Lord knows them that are His" (2 Tim. 1:19). The foundation on which God's elect stand is a perfect one: nothing can be added to it, nor anything taken from it (Eccl. 3:14). Here, then, is the highest and grandest display of the absolute sovereignty of God. Verily, He has "mercy on whom He will have mercy, and, whom He will He harden" (Rom. 9:18).

If you have a toddler, you already know that he or she is a little bundle of endless energy! My twin boys turned two several months ago, and they have been non-stop action since they learned to walk. There is never a dull moment! It’s been a long time since I’ve had a toddler in the house and I had forgotten how quickly they grow and how much they learn during this toddler stage.
At this age toddlers are developing many motor skills. There are two main types of motor skills: gross motor skills and fine motor skills. Gross motor skills involve large muscles, and are strengthened by walking/running, climbing, and general play. Fine motor skills involve mostly the hands and fingers and hand to eye coordination. Your toddler will strengthen many of these abilities on his or her own, but there are many ways you can encourage and help them to develop their motor skills.
Eating and Grooming
The easiest way to encourage your toddler to develop motor skills is to have them help with everyday activities like feeding and grooming themselves. Toddlers are famously messy when eating, but this is the age when they should be using a spoon and fork to feed themselves, as messy as it may be. This will greatly help their fine motor skills and hand to eye coordination. Your toddler will also enjoy dressing and undressing, combing their own hair, and brushing their own teeth.
Drawing and Coloring
A toddler as young as 18 months old is capable of coloring. I didn’t know this until my boys brought home their first coloring page from Sunday School. I couldn’t believe it! Toddlers love to scribble. Walmart sells some great oversized coloring books that my boys love to color in. Sit and color with them and show them how to hold the crayon. My boys love to take the crayons out of my hands and tell me “no” when I try to color on the same page with them!
Puzzles and Shape Sorters
Puzzles and shape sorters are great for toddlers 18+ months old. Again, I was surprised at how young my boys were able to place pieces into a wooden puzzle. It took them a couple of months to figure out which pieces went where and to be able to turn the pieces just the right way to fit into the puzzle, but it kept them busy for 10-15 minutes at a time and it was amazing how much they remembered each time they sat down to do their puzzles. Shape sorters are also great. We’ve had several different ones, and the boys have responded better to some than others. We found a neat one at Baby Depot that is shaped like a toolbox on the outside and is a shape sorter on the inside. My boys have spent many hours figuring out which shapes go where. The toolbox makes a sound when the shape is placed in the correct hole.
Songs with Hand Motions
Toddlers love to sing and dance. Songs with hand motions are a great way for toddlers to learn fine motor skills. My boys started doing small hand motions at around 18 months old, but after about age 2 they were ready to do most of the hand motions to their favorite songs. Some of their favorites: “Itsy-Bitsy Spider”, “Patty Cake”, “If You’re Happy and You Know it Clap Your Hands”. Sunday school favorites include: “Deep and Wide” and “This Little Light of Mine”.
Free Play and Exercise
Playing is a great way to develop both gross and fine motor skills. Running, jumping, hopping, and skipping are all skills your toddler will eventually master. I’ll never forget the first time one of my boys jumped. He squatted all the way down on the ground and threw himself up in the air with his hands all the way up, and jumped about a half an inch off the ground. It was the most hysterical thing I’d ever seen. When you catch your toddler doing these types of activities you can encourage them to keep doing them to develop these skills.
While your toddler may or may not be ready for a tricycle yet, this is a good age to introduce one to them, so they will know what’s expected and be ready to jump on and pedal away when they’re ready.
My boys are also working on mastering climbing jungle gyms at the park, and playing “catch”. Throwing and catching a large ball is great for developing your toddler’s hand to eye coordination. At first just have your toddler hold out their arms and throw the ball into their arms so it is easy for them to catch. They will soon get the idea!

Most parents don’t want their children to get bored… ever! Just think of the many hours and dollars parents spend keeping their children busy with sports, music, art classes, after-school activities – not to mention the toys, videos, computer games etc. that we give our children to keep boredom at bay. Homeschooling parents often see the field trips and classes offered by homeschool groups as necessities. Children hanging around the house complaining that “there’s nothing to do” is something most parents want to avoid. However, there is another way to look at this. May I challenge you to look at boredom as something positive? Let’s consider the following:
Boredom can force children to get creative. At first you may hear whining, complaining and pouting. But if boredom is allowed to run its course, eventually the child will become so desperate that he may make up a game with his imagination or she may find some scraps of fabric and start a doll quilt. Would that have happened if mom or dad would have jumped to eliminate the boredom at the first complaint?
Boredom can force children to pick up a book and read. Some kids read all the time anyway – but an active child may never pick up a book until there’s absolutely nothing else to do. Sometimes there should be absolutely nothing else to do!
Boredom helps children become more observant. A child rushed from one activity to the next becomes oblivious to her surroundings. A bored child is looking for something to do, and will pay more attention to her environment.
Boredom allows time for thinking – for getting to know oneself. This may be the best reason to allow your child to experience boredom. A child with nothing to do is forced to think about what he likes or dislikes, and what his interests are. He’ll have the chance to do and try things because he wants to, not because his mom signed him up for something, or because a friend was doing it. Boredom gives him time to think thoughts that teach him about himself.
So, what to do about boredom? I encourage you to see boredom in a little different light. Look at it as a friend that can help your children develop their creativity and give them precious time to think their own thoughts, read some good books and observe their world.
