A quick thought for today...

I liked the Homeschool minute this morning because it echoes what a homeschool friend and I were talking about this week.  No matter what the pitfalls and struggles that we face with our family, the most important thing that we are doing is being obedient to what the Lord has called us to do.  Some days that is all I have to go on because let's face it homeschooling is not the wide and open road - it is definitely the narrow path.

Yesterday, was a perfect day though... and not because my kids were XYZ and all of our strategies finally worked.  But, it was perfect because I was relaxed and worked with them where they were at and how they would have fun.  I have never had a more enjoyable day.  I relaxed and then they relaxed.  We still had our moments... but let me tell you, they were few and far between!!!

Ever tried letting your kids teach their stuffed animals how to read?  Hilarious stuff!  And it was the best reading session of the new year!

So relax, mom, relax and tell me again relax. :) 

Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and lean not on your own understanding... He will make your paths straight.
