    HSC 2026-06-16 The Oil Lamp/The Small Jar, Part 2 - Dawn Stephens

    In today’s devotional, we turn our attention to dingoes—remarkable creatures that spark curiosity and remind us of the creativity in God’s design. During Arts‑n‑Crafts, we learn more about these wild dogs and create our own piece of Aboriginal‑inspired art. Next, we explore teaching reading through a phonetic approach, a method that helps build strong foundational skills. Then we conclude our inspirational interview with Dawn Stephens. She shares her rise to success, the painful season of being “dumped,” and her eventual return to school administration. In her book The Little Pot, she uses the metaphor of a potter lovingly shaping a new vessel and declaring His plans for it. As the little pot begins to wonder about its purpose, we see our own questions reflected—because wondering what God is doing in our lives is a common and deeply human experience.

    HSC 2026-06-15 The Little Pot, Part 1 - Dawn Stephens

    Did you know that our eyes shine in the dark? In today’s devotional, we explore that surprising bit of science and reflect on how, in the same way, our spirits can shine in the darkness of this world. From there, we segue into Curriculum Corner, where we focus on teaching consonant blends. Continuing the theme of learning environments, we share the story of a family who chose homeschooling after their school no longer allowed them to walk their child to class. Building on that discussion, we begin our interview with Dawn Stephens about her book The Little Pot. How do you teach young children about patience and the loving omniscience of their Creator? Introduce them to The Little Pot, a wise and winsome tale that helps little ones understand how God shapes us with purpose and care. Every child’s first school is their home.

    Why are flamingos pink? Doesn’t God have a wonderful sense of humor in the way He colors His creation?

    It is easy to take some birds for granted, like pigeons and starlings, yet even these common creatures offer spiritual lessons. During Arts‑n‑Crafts, we make three simple bird crafts, and hands‑on activities like these often help children remember profound truths. Next, we continue our interview with Peg Arnold about her book Devotions for the Distracted Heart, where she explains how balancing the demands of daily life can be distracting—not only because of external pressures but also due to internal struggles, feelings of insecurity, and the desire for perfection.
