2 Corinthians 1:3-4 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of Compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. This blog is a homeschooling devotional from a bubbe's point of view or watching the next generation excel where I only succeeded.

Have you ever slept so soundly that when you awaken you stare about in disbelief wondering where you are? Or been on vacation, driving all day long when you wake up in a hotel filled with strange surroundings forgetting that you are on vacation? Well that is how I feel here at the “new” homeschool blogger. I had such a hard time finding my way back, passwords didn’t work, friends have disappeared…. I feel like Dorothy in the Land of Oz!
What about you? Do you feel like the whole world has been Raptured and you have been left behind?
Just wondering…..
Because of Jesus, Bobbie

The internationally recognized date comes from the Hebrew calendar and corresponds to the 27th day of Nisan on that calendar. It marks the anniversary of the Warsaw ghetto uprising. In Hebrew, Holocaust
Remembrance Day is called Yom Hashoah. When the actual date of Yom
Hashoah falls on a Friday, the state of Israel observes Yom
Hashoah on the preceding Thursday. When it falls on a Sunday, Yom
Hashoah is observed on the following Monday.
Sunday, April 11,2010 is Yom Hashoah, so that makes today the day of Observation. Today is a day to teach your children that evil exists in the hearts of man. Today is a day to Remember because so many have forgotten and so few are alive to tell the tale. Today as you read the news of the Polish Airliner that crashed, know that it held survivors of the 1938 Programme in the same Forest as the Russians murdered the Polish Intellectuals and Military leaders so WWII could advance.
If we fail to remember, we will repeat this atrocity.. God’s chosen people are still His Chosen people, His plan is still His plan and His Boundaries and still His allotted Boundaries.

Teach your children to love the Lord their God with all their Hearts minds and strength so that their generation will know the truth and stand up for their love of Jesus. The next genocide may be them.

Do you have a dollar for a child in Haiti???? My Friend Emma has been in "the Process" of adopting two children from Haiti for a while now. This is a long arduous process as many of you know. But Our God has a way of Making Good things come out of a disaster. And that is what He is doing Here.
Emma’s children are coming home in a week! God has spped up everything. She is raising money on her blog http://haitiadoptions.blogspot.com/ and we can help not only her children come home, but many others.
There are 11,000 of us . One dollar from each of us would double the goal she has set. I would love to blow this homeschooling mom’s mind and show her the love we have for each other. I would love us to give money somewhere we know a life is being touched than to organizations that spend most of our hard earned cash paying their executives.
If You would like to be a part of a miracle ( and after this week, I need a miracle -how about you? Go by her blog and share a bit of your heart with her.
http://haitiadoptions.blogspot.com/
I know how helpless we all feel. We want to …NO WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING! Here is a very little something You can do to be part of a Miracle from God. I know everyone here was so supportive when my granddaughter was raising money to go to Rwanda last year. God used your dollar then to share the gospel with 60 million people in Rwanda, Tanzania and Burundi with those dollars. Imagine what this dollar will do in changing a life. We can do this! I love having a person to person touch. I know overhead costs for organizations take up so much of the donations we give and this is money actually going to help children in Haiti;. This money is going to The ones that can’t stand in water lines and food lines because they have to rely on grown-ups. I want to be a grown up they can rely on!
Emma has two Click-its on her page… one for relief at the Orphanage and one to help buy plane tickets for her babies to come home. Please choose one and give from your heart and from your abundance. Buy a cup of coffee today or change a life. you choose!
