Aug. 11, 2008 - Mondays On Mothering -- Sweet Chaos
Have you ever just looked around you and wondered how in the world so few children can make so much noise and mess? Today was such a day in our household. On days like today, I have to just take a deep breath and remind myself that in 20 years, my husband and I will be missing this chaos -- sweet chaos made by precious gifts from God. Hopefully, we will be close enough to invite the grandkids over frequently!

I'm terrible with all that linking business, so I'll just leave a comment here.
What I love about Mothering is that my 7-year-old daughter just asked me what happened to people after they go to Heaven, so I sat her on my lap and looked in those big brown eyes while we had a discussion about Heaven and the ways of God.
I'm so blessed that I didn't have to rush her off to bed so she could get up early and catch the school bus tomorrow!

The bottom line is; We try not to insist on parent-led learning or gravitate toward child-led learning. We try instead to focus on God-led learning and ask for His input and perspective on every aspect of our home school. That way, when others fuss about what Dan and I are doing and make me second guess our decisions -- I can go back to our decision process and find God's fingerprints, reminding me that this is His way.
