Help for the Harried Homeschooler
|
Have you read this book? ( _Help
for the Harried Homeschooler_ by Christine M. Field) I've
recently finished reading it. This is one book that I'm glad that
I purchased. If you haven't read it - I am not hesitant in the
least to recommend it. I think that I paid around $10-$11 for it
at Rainbow Resource. There are a lot of treasures tucked into
this, easy to read, book. I highlighted so many things that stood
out to me so that I could go back and look over them even when I don't
have time to re-read the book. I don't think that any one comment
is better than another so I'll just pick one for an example: "A pearl is formed when an oyster reacts to a tiny piece of sand. God uses the same principle in my life as a mom and a homeschooler, using the irritants that seem to be part of my daily experience to produce something of greater value than I ever could have imagined." And for good measure...here's one more... "Feelings are an important part of our experience as humans, but they are not us. Our feelings are just our feelings. They change. Only the love of God endures. Burnout calls us to recognize that and to base our sense of our own worth not on our feelings of the moment but on God's opinion of us. He finds us worthwhile even when we are feeling lousy." Consider adding it to your list of "books to read". I'm glad that I did. |
