Hi friends! This blog post is really more like a personal letter to each of you, a behind-the-scenes sneak peek into the Sloan family Morning Time plans for September 2021. I just finished typing everything up and getting it ready to print out for our new Morning Time routine on Monday!
While the basic flow of Morning Time stays the same each month, we like to change our memory work on a regular basis. Last month we focused on Macbeth for our memory work. This month we’re including a short poem and the Nicene Creed in English and Latin.
Not included on the list is our daily viewing of WORLD Watch News. We’re still watching this daily, but the timing of it varies depending on my teen son’s work schedule.
Youโll notice that Iโve typed up the Bible memory verses in our preferred responsive reading format. Weโll take turns being the one to read the light print, and everyone else will reply with the dark print. Weโve found this hugely helpful in keeping us focused during our Scripture memory work time!
You can read more here about how to choose the best memory work in your own homeschool, or head to the Year of Memory Work for a yearโs worth of free printable poems, speeches, and other beautiful pieces for recitation!

2 Chronicles 7:11-22
Thus Solomon finished the house of the Lord and the kingโs house; and Solomon successfully accomplished all that came into his heart to make in the house of the Lord and in his own house.
Then the Lord appeared to Solomon by night, and said to him: โI have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice.
When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people, if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place. For now I have chosen and sanctified this house, that My name may be there forever; and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually.
As for you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, and do according to all that I have commanded you, and if you keep My statutes and My judgments, then I will establish the throne of your kingdom, as I covenanted with David your father, saying, โYou shall not fail to have a man as ruler in Israel.โ
โBut if you turn away and forsake My statutes and My commandments which I have set before you, and go and serve other gods, and worship them, then I will uproot them from My land which I have given them; and this house which I have sanctified for My name I will cast out of My sight, and will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples.
โAnd as for this house, which is exalted, everyone who passes by it will be astonished and say, โWhy has the Lord done thus to this land and this house?โ
Then they will answer, โBecause they forsook the Lord God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and embraced other gods, and worshiped them and served them; therefore He has brought all this calamity on them.โโ
Nicene Creed (Latin and English)

Credo in unum Deum, Patrem omnipotรฉntem, Factรณrem cรฆli et terrรฆ, visibรญlium รณmnium et invisibรญlium.
Et in unum Dรณminum Iesum Christum, Fรญlium Dei unigรฉnitum, et ex Patre natum ante รณmnia sวฝcula.
Deum de Deo, lumen de lรบmine, Deum verum de Deo vero, gรฉnitum, non factum, consubstantiรกlem Patri: per quem รณmnia facta sunt.
Qui propter nos hรณmines et propter nostram salรบtem descรฉndit de cรฆlis, et incarnรกtus est de Spรญritu Sancto ex Marรญa Vรญrgine, et homo factus est;
crucifรญxus รฉtiam pro nobis sub Pรณntio Pilรกto, passus et sepรบltus est, et resurrรฉxit tรฉrtia die, secรบndum Scriptรบras, et ascรฉndit in cรฆlum, sedet ad dรฉxteram Patris; et รญterum ventรบrus est cum glรณria, iudicรกre vivos et mรณrtuos, cuius regni non erit finis.
Et in Spรญritum Sanctum, Dรณminum et vivificรกntem: qui ex Patre Filiรณque procรฉdit,
qui cum Patre et Fรญlio simul adorรกtur et conglorificรกtur, qui locรบtus est per prophรฉtas.
Et unam, sanctam, cathรณlicam et apostรณlicam Ecclรฉsiam. Confรญteor unum baptรญsma in remissiรณnem peccatรณrum. Et expรฉcto resurrectiรณnem mortuรณrum, et vitam ventรบri sวฝculi.
Amen
I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds; God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God; begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father by whom all things were made.
Who, for us men and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate;
He suffered and was buried; and the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures; and ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father; and He shall come again, with glory, to judge the living and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end.
And I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of life; who proceedeth from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; who spoke by the prophets.
And I believe one holy catholic and apostolic church. I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; and I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.
Amen
Autumn
by Emily Dickinson
The morns are meeker than they were,
The nuts are getting brown;
The berryโs cheek is plumper,
The rose is out of town.
The maple wears a gayer scarf,
The field a scarlet gown.
Lest I should be old-fashioned,
Iโll put a trinket on.
