Titus 2:10(b) – “…make the teaching about God our Savior attractive.”

Can you smell that? Ahhh! I love the smell of Fall-burning leaves; crisp, dry air with just enough chill to pull on your favorite sweater; bonfires, s’mores, hay-rides, camp-outs, treks down multi-colored leafy paths. Ohio – land of the ever-changing temperature – is a great place to be in the Fall!

What’s Fall mean to an Ohio homeschool family? God’s creative genius! WOW! Who else could show us that even the end of something can be beautiful! “Behold, I make all things new!” What a great time of year to walk down a leaf-strewn path and teach your children about the truth of new life in Jesus Christ. That His ugly death opened up the beautiful gates of Heaven for us! As Christians, our death is beautiful in the eyes of the Lord – Ps. 116:15 – “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of Your servant.”

In our natural world, God has made the “death” of the Summer a beautiful thing-especially here in Ohio. As you’re walking down those colorful paths, have your children take their nature journal with them to draw what they see – God’s world ablaze with glorious color! Collect a few leaves, press them between sheets of waxed paper, put them in their nature journal and include information about that particular tree.

This is the type of learning, the homeschooling, which has taken place since Adam and Eve and beyond. Deut. 6:7 – “Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.” In the homeschool home, learning takes place ALL the time. Every season is a new way to teach the love and faithfulness of the Lord; however, Fall, of all seasons is a perfect season to “make the teaching about God our Savior attractive.”
