"The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself, bringeth his mother to shame." Proverbs 29:15

In these busy days of teaching a 9th grader, 6th grader with learning difficulties, 4th grade boy and 2nd grade boy, I am continually challenged to keep my youngest two children safe and learning.  I know that putting them in front of the t.v is out of the question.  I don't want my children's brains to atrophy and so daily I am developing and testing out activities with these two.  My five year old does some alphabet activities, we matched up tiny animals with their names, written on small cards, and used our fingers to trace number cards that I made with glitter glue.  The baby enjoys opening the hatch on the barnyard bingo game, and I am teaching her to remain seated for her little snack time.  It is a joy to be surrounded by my children, learning together, but one that keeps me on my toes.  I am constantly dependent on my Lord, for wisdom, strength and patience to point these little arrows to him.
