How To Enjoy Your Home School By Living Healthier And More Abundant Lives

Thank you for joining us today on Encouragement From The Heart. This shows airing was to encourage you to take a stand for the safety and health of your home school home. Terry Hoover and Stacey Powell were our special guest for the program. They began to elaborate on the hidden dangers that lurk in our own homes. Also, that there are safer alternatives to the retail store bought cleaners. These ladies are a part of a fabulous group of ladies called
"The Families In Faith" team. This group of Christian ladies can help us to live more abundant, physical, financial, and spiritual life at home. It is my sincere hope that this program has given you the extra encouragement and support we all need when things are getting really tough during our home school year. I am sure you have walked away with a renewed vision of succeeding abundantly, physically, financially, and spiritually with this ever growing group of Christian ladies.

Below is a list of stunning facts from various trusted organizations. Also, at the bottom of the blog is a list of sites and credits for the preparation of this show.

Next week, we will have very special guest Bobbie Howard. She has graduated both of her children from home school high school and now helps to home school her six grand children! She is also the fabulous author of two Devotional books written especially for home schooling parents. Bobbie will surely give us the much needed support and encouragement we need as we are completing our year and beginning to look forward to next school year. Join us next Tuesday at 1:00PM and meet our very special guest Bobbie Howard.
